Thundering March

17 days to graduation! Every time I remember that I'm graduating this semester, I get really excited, but I also get really weirded out. Even here at n-Space, I still feel like a student at FIEA. It's going to be really trippy once I'm officially "done" with the program.

n-Space is everything I could've hoped for in a career experience. I've been working on Star Wars : The Force Unleashed DS, and we're already in thick of production. That means I had to dive headfirst into the tools and get ramped up pretty quickly so I could contribute to milestones meaningfully. The best part is that this wasn't terribly surprising -- this is exactly what I've come to expect from my education at FIEA!

The atmosphere here is really friendly -- everyone seems to know everyone else's name, which is also pretty similar to the school experience. Everyone's also pretty talented and dedicated to making great games. I'm thrilled to have such a killer position in a good, local company so quickly.

Continuing news of Brendan's game-playing: my latest game picks up were Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PSP -- fantastic game! ... and God of War II for the PS2 -- okay game. Pretty much more of the same. I'm quickly losing interest in most video games for one terrible, terrible reason -- I reinstalled World of Warcraft. I'm finally playing a Warlock, like I've always wanted, and it's just as terrifyingly excellent as I dreamed it would be.

Gotta get to work, but today's not all bad -- it's D&D night!
