Ah, well.  At EA I was working on Lord of the Rings:Battle for Middle Earth, scheduled to come out before XMas.  I would probably still be there if EA understood the concept of "personal time", or, as I like to call it, "freedom".  When I left EA the mandatory schedule was 9-9, 6 days a week.

As to what I'm up to now, I'm helping to take advantage of HT's groundwork in AH2 and working with Dale to improve the graphics.  Specifically pixel shaders.  I hope you'll notice the improvements coming down the pipe each and every update.

But Sling - Nate has all my brew equipment and you have my Hellfire recipe.  Now I'll sit back and wait for the brew :)

  HT, please ban sudz from the BBS for use of profanity. :D

Welcome Sudz,

Any loss for EA is a victory for us.

Agreed
Or at least force him to refer to his previous employer as
"that other @#($*%# company I used to work for":)

Ahhh....but nobody can quite master the Hellfire like yourself sir.  Nate and I tried but we were not successful.  Head on over to the Homebrew HQ and pick up some new equipment.  You should join the North TX Homebrewers Association just for the discount at the shop.  You pay for your membership with a couple of trips for supplies.  :)
