Yeah, you saw that right. That’s me in a suit. Much like how Michael Corleone, despite his best efforts and the efforts of his family to keep him from becoming a mobster, ends up as the ruthless head of the family business– I, despite my best efforts, can now be seen in a suit and [...]

Just got back in from a week in Boulder, CO tonight. Very fun trip. The good friends and change of scenery did a lot to get the creative juices flowing. Thank you Gina for putting up with me talking about aliens and explosions and mad scientists for a week. The trip was a great way [...]

You’ll be hearing more about it as I move off from engine development to game design, which is an infinitely more creative and exciting process.

A Journal Entry, 20XX AD
Before we even knew what was going on, they turned Alpha Centauri to liquid shit. I don’t mean Fort Brasta on Centauri Prime. I don’t mean Centauri Prime. I mean the whole goddamn star system- they demolished only enough of Brasta to punch through to Alpha Centauri A itself, and sent it into full on [...]
