Settling in Texas…

The family and I just go to Texas!! We’re excited, nervous and a bit intimidated by all of the new things we have to get used to, like; weather (cold when we got here), no mountains in our 360 degree view, no beach, bugs, etc.

A couple good things are, it’s a lot cheaper to live here (we’re renting a house 1400 ft bigger than our old house for less money), and commuting to work will be a lot less time since I will only live 15 minutes away opposed to my old 45 minute drive! A whole extra hour with the family!

Here are some pics:

You really don’t know how much stuff you have until you move.

 

This is just funny…

id, here I come!

So, after about 10 years associated with Activision, I got an opportunity I cannot refuse… The opportunity to work at id!!! There may be only one thing bad about going to id. That is, id is located in Texas. Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate Texas… I just don’t know anything about Texas, and I am sure it’s a terrific state. But I was born in California and it’s all I know. Either way, my family and I decided to take this adventure to at least try it out and see what id and Texas is all about! :)

I can’t wait to actually get there and work with the team that started it all for us FPS developers!

Treyarch bad-mouthing Gearbox.

Ok, so over this past weekend, a person from Activision (Noah Heller) did an interview about Call of Duty: World at War, but said some bad things… Treyarch also sent out an official apology and hopes that everything is cool between Treyarch and Gearbox.
