This blog post is going to cover two topics. First, how to deal with the emotional feeling of being rejected for a role. Second, a re-framing and discussion of how to feel about the person who did get the role. I want to start by saying, everything about getting a job in the game industry [ ]
I ve never been a fan of roller coasters. They tend to trigger anxiety attacks in me, which sometimes become panic attacks. Losing a job is one of the more stressful events you can experience. It s right up there with the death of a close family member and the birth of a child. Everything kind of [ ]
Well, a lot has happened since the last time I updated here. A global pandemic, I moved halfway across the country TWICE, I ve changed jobs 3 times since then, and released 4 games since then. There s quite a bit to catch up on I guess. Let s start with, after a little over 4 years at [ ]

As usual, I have some strong feelings about Mythic Raiders, raiding in general, [ ]
When I was 12, I got into an argument with my brother. See, I had showed him my book I was writing. And I said I wanted to be a writer. My brother was an artist, in that he drew, sculpted, and painted. He told me Don t be an artist, you don t want to end [ ]
It all started with my friend, Ryan, asking us to save Bottle Caps for him. We asked him why, and found out about Wasteland Weekend. A 4 day event in the desert, intended to serve as a living homage to Mad Max and the world created by George Miller. You are a crazy person. My [ ]
