By sheer coincidence, this is my 250th published post. A nice bit of serendipity, because I have something good to say – well actually, a few things.
They’re not all connected, so sorry, the clues don’t add up to one big giant reveal! Here are the details though, by the clue:
“Stand by for action!”
My life’s about to get a lot more crazy.
You probably don’t realise, but 2009 has been pretty sedate for me – which isn’t really my preferred mode of operation. I like to be busy, I like to be challenged, and while I have had stuff to do, I haven’t been rushed off my feet. Why? Well….
In November last year I visited the USA to interview for a job in an MMOG company based in California; those of you with good memories might remember that I told you I got the job. There was only one small detail; I had to get a visa, so that I could emigrate and legally accept the position. (Right now, I’m still a remote contractor and not employed full-time.)
With my wife being American, in theory, this was supposed to be an easy process. In reality, it took the best part of six months… and it’s not over yet. However, three weeks from today, I’ll be having my final visa interview, and not long after, I should be granted the visa itself. (Fingers very much crossed, although by this stage, we should be golden.)
Not long after that, I’ll be jetting Stateside to join colleagues and prepare for E3.
After that, in early June, I’ll be returning to the UK to wrap things up so we can ‘properly’ move, hopefully in time for a good ol’ July 4th barbecue.
So yeah: compared to my current routine of “sit around working remotely, occasionally going to the coffee shop and updating Twitter”, things are about to get a lot more mad. Which frankly, is awesome.
Well, it’s a slice of it – the right hand side with all the files. That’s a pretty good indication of what I’m working on now… you know what they say about pictures, right?
Only one episode of Quest for GC this week I’m afraid, as we’re a little behind – but next week – the week before Games Convention starts – we go all out into the final stretch.
So in lieu of a new episode tomorrow, here’s a little sneak peek at what we filmed today… some behind-the-scenes shots.
You said what?
