So much WIN, I am, in fact, exhausted. But let’s get something down.
Neil Edwards has painted a PC. A PC covered in WIN. City of Heroes and City of Villains WIN to be precise. Yes, this is for a follow-up compo to Andrew Wildman’s painted PC. You’ll be able to get your hands on it… if you (wait for it) WIN. Details to come.
We had big casting WIN. Well probably. One more step, Wednesday.
Costuming for said casting WIN. Talking about PVC versus leather actually got me excited. Not like that. Pervoid.
Secret community video thing… WIN. Several wins actually. One, two, three.. more to come. All edited by me. In some cases scripted by me. In all cases shot… I am a multi-hyphenated man.
Secret Games Convention quest thing WIN. Order goes out tomorrow for the first of many, many Moo cards….
And then I get home, and it’s all Xbox 360 new interface WIN! Rock Band 2 WIN (Who cares about making music when it’s got Livin’ on a Prayer??)! Continue reading →
Ex-haus-ted.
Spent the day in London doing our casting. Saw 16 people – no wait, 17 – and gave the same little five-minute presentation explaining who we are, what we do, and why we want to cast people in these roles 17 times.
I think it was still pretty good, even on the 17th go-around….
Got a big post on the casting process coming, but I’m going to leave it until we officially announce why we’re casting, if that makes sense.
Being in London just reminds me why I left London. Also, got to say, the only thing worse than being stuck in a basement on a hot and sunny June day in London… is arriving and leaving during rush hour. Could have done without that.
Still, really useful and productive day. As always, all of prior expectations were overturned… but that’s a really good thing. Continue reading →
Start the day with coffee, and trying to figure out what we have left to do for the UK Games Expo. We’ve done this so many times it should become second nature, and to an extent it has, but there’s always room for error… and the more complacent you get the more errors you make.
We need to buy hangers (for t-shirts) and storage ‘tubs’ for stock and, in fact, t-shirts. Quick trip to Woolies and one of several local ‘pound shops’ and we’re sorted.
Back to the office. It’s Massage Day (woo!) and Chris is having his First Ever Massage. When he comes out he tells me “I don’t know why I waited so long to have that.” Nor do I mate. Continue reading →
Before I even get to the office, I’m on the phone to our costume designer. Busy executive type, me.
What really strikes me is that I can’t walk up the (pathetically small) incline to our office, and talk on the phone at the same time, without feeling a bit out of breath. Fitting that I’ve got my gym kit with me.
First thing after I get my breath back: Spaff’s nearly finished on our Secret Little Video Project, and wants me to do a dialogue polish on what he’s written. Between the two of us we add about 20% more gags. That’s science, Bobby! Continue reading →
