Happy Birthday, WAR!
A few moments from two years ago, today:

A few hours later, on the roof of the office, hanging a giant banner (and annoying the bankers in the building). Amazingly, no one died.

Police arrived shortly after this picture was taken to tranquilize James, who had been awake for seven days straight and had gone quite completely insane.
So… yeah. Happy birthday, WAR! Long may you WAAAGH!
Pause for Station Identification
The new year is well underway. I have a Post-it on my desk that reminds me to eventually re-purpose this site into something I actually post to occasionally. I’ll get around to that ANY minute now.
Maybe.
Anywho, in the meantime, you can continue to stalk me via any or all of the following means:
Standard caveats apply: Opinions posted are my own/do not represent The Mothership, may include salty language and/or bizarre iconography, not liable for fits of Lovecraftian madness, etc.
I am not dead.
It’s been a busy couple of months and I promise to post something like a proper update – just not right now. A short version of the past month and a half:
– Prepping/pimping Tomb Kings. Lots of press, working with folks doing interviews I couldn’t make it out for (see two bullet points down).
– Games Day Baltimore/Getting a badass squig cake out of Duff and the Charm City Cakes crew. If we make it into an episode, it’ll probably be aired in late summer/early fall.
– Got married!
– Honeymoon!
– Back to work tomorrow, then sprinting to get ready for E3 next week.
I HAVE been good about posting nonsense on Twitter, though. So… yeah… follow me or something.
Mmm… caaaake.
Who are these two handsome devils?
Protip: You should come to Games Day Baltimore.
Rock-n-roll!
Somehow, I managed to forget to draw your attention to the fact that I am now – officially – a rock deity:

That’s a picture of our office “garage band” – The Hamtouchers – hanging out with members of Blue Öyster Cult (they of “More Cowbell” fame) in our local recording studio.
Why, you ask?
Because we were recording a track together. An EPIC track. A track dedicated to Warhammer’s Slayers (newly added to Warhammer Online).
You can download it here, but be warned – it may melt your face off with ALL THE AWESOME.
ROCK.
Hello, Nation.
Back… and gone again.
We got back from Korea in one piece. It was fun. A few pics here.
And now I’m in the UK for two days, then it’s off to Spain, then France, Italy and Germany before heading home.
I basically live off of Red Bull and Ambien at this point.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download
Anywho, the point of this trip is basically to reintroduce WAR to the European press. Obviously, we’ll be touching on the new stuff we’ve added and upcoming content, but I intend to focus most of my time talking about the changes we’ve been making (and will make) to the Live game since launch. New, sexy stuff is fun to talk about, but at the end of the day we need to make sure folks know we hear their comments and are, in fact, working hard to improve them game continuously.
Hopefully, some folks in the press will take that part of my presentations to heart, but ya never know.
Off to Korea!
In short order, Barnett and I take to the skies for the 15 hour flight out to Seoul. Adventures may very well ensue. Or we may get soju poisoning. Regardless, WAR waits for no man’s jet-lag.
May I have your attention, please.

The Twitter Game Dev List
Sam Houston from GamerDNA put this together. It’s a list of Game Devs and studios on Twitter. I found a fair number of interesting folks who I hadn’t been following previously. Definitely worth a look!
