Somehow, I managed to forget to draw your attention to the fact that I am now – officially – a rock deity:

From WAR-Misc

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.

This amuses me (play them simultaneously – the sound isn’t really important):

…can be found here.

I’m not going to comment too much about today’s events at Mythic, other than to say that I was not affected, but that a lot of very good, extremely talented people were.

I’m sad that I can’t be there at the moment to say goodbye to friends, to offer support, just to be a presence in the building.

To anyone affected, if there’s ANYTHING I can do, let me know.  Letters of recommendation, an ear to bend, a beer or three – just say the word.

To any developers who may be looking for good people, contact me via email or ping me on LinkedIn and I’ll be glad to direct qualified folks your way.  

That’s all.

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.

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.

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.
