Site Update 7/15/2013

by

Sorry for not having posted much this week, been quite busy at the new job.  If you hadn’t seen, well, I started at Adobe as a Senior Program Manager!  It’s great stuff, the job is just what I wanted, the people are awesome, and I’m getting into the technical areas I wanted (I’m going more cloud and infrastructure).  So I’ve been busy.

This also means I put my writing and the Seventh Sanctum update on hold for a week.  Sorry about that.

The “new” writing project, I can tell you, is more revisiting some other work, updating it, and combining it into something bigger.  You’ll see!

Also have tons of interview at MuseHack – I’ve got them queued out for about two weeks.  I think I’m on a roll!

So I hope to have more later, but let’s just say last week was a bit crazy!

Sharknado Sequel In The Works

by

There will be a sequel to Sharknado, that oddball film that burned up social media while kicking science in the groin.

This gets The Asylum and their mockbusters, derivatives, and weird b-movies even more attention.  I swear they’re in serious danger of going legit – and frankly jokes aside films like these provide a place to get experience, build a career, re-establish a career, etc.  Just with sharks in Tornados.

If you can’t wait, here’s some suggestions for a sequel.  I’m partial to “Sharkalance.”

Capcom Suffers Layoffs

by

Get the details – except there aren’t many.

I’ve touched on this before, but I’ll re-iterate it – right now the games industry does not seem to be a good career choice unless you are very, very smart and careful.  Too much turnover, too much unpredictability, a weird console market, and fissures among game types and budgets.

So tread carefully (or do it yourself).
