A lot has been going on. Lemme break it down.
I finished my first full game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed DS, which will be coming out alongside the parent product for consoles this coming spring. I'll be sure to spam you when I find out just when it's coming out. It's a great game and I think people are going to enjoy it.
I've already been assigned to a new product, and the lead designer and I had to scramble to get the game design document together this week. It was a rush but it's got some great ideas and I'm really looking forward to announcing it once I'm given the go-ahead.
n-Space also just released Call of Duty 4 DS: Modern Warfare alongside the parent company. I only had my hands on it for about a week but everyone else from FIEA that works at n-Space worked a great deal on it. I've picked it up myself and it's a great game. Support your working alumni and give it a shot.
November's been a great month for video games overall. Zul'Aman just came out in World of Warcraft and my guild (which has a decent number of people from my cohort) managed to down the first boss this past Thursday with relative ease. Still working our way through that. In my off time I've been playing Assassin's Creed, which is phenomenal regardless of what any reviewers say.
Finally, I still haven't seen any pictures myself, but a number of cohort associates and I dressed up as the Cobra Organization for a couple of Halloween parties this year, including the great one that Ben hosted. It was great to meet some new people and see old friends -- I hope something like that happens again soon.
Exciting times. I'll keep you posted.

Smoke and Mirrors
I found these results mesmerizing and I wondered about the etymology of that word so naturally I looked it up. The word comes from an 18th century French physician named Mesmer who concocted the notion of "animal magnetism" which (he conjectured) involved the flow of a mysterious magnetic fluid that supposedly flows through all beings.
Perhaps I'll name my fluid-like simulation "mesmeric fluid" because both his fluid and mine are fictional but captivating.
Some earlier results:
