First Vancouver Trip

May 10th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Personal

I was extremely excited to finally get out to Vancouver for the first time, not just to attend GDC Canada for GameDev.net, but to visit the city itself.

Dude who the hell is this guy?

April 8th, 2007 · 1 Comment · GameDev.net, Personal, Production

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll The past four weeks or so have been a roller coaster ride – many loops, twists and all that nonsense.
