When Work and Play are One!

So far things are going great at EA. I never knew how complicated it was to make a game, even after all the stuff we do to make our animations, this is a 100 times more in depth. It takes an army of engineers, programmers, artists and designers to make these things work. It's a little intimidating (i.e. if I turn in a bad file it could potentially break the game and throw a giant monkey wrench in production virtually grinding all work to a halt at EA studios around the world! the studio in Spain broke it recently and we couldn't do anything for a full day) but I'm starting to get the hang of things. We have a great team and everyone helps me out and shows me how to do things right. We play basketball at lunch break. They go golfing once a week too. Right now they have me working on the new Simpsons game! It looks amazing. It's almost exactly like the show. All the Simpsons characters are there, every corner of springfield is mapped out and playable. I walked into the Quik-E Mart the other day, said hi to Apu and then had a squishy, it was surreal. They have me building models and scenery around springfield and doing textures. I made a few things for Mayor Quimby's office and for principal Skinner. Next week were going to to work on that scientist guy's house, the one with the glasses and the gadgets and the "FROIN-LAVEN!!" It's a blast. Here's a just released demo of what it will look like, check it out!

And for all this hard "work/fun" i decided to treat myself to a new camera!
I've been wanting to get one for along time and after doing a lot of research I found just the right one for me.



I took it out on a photo hunt to a place I found on Google Earth. I love this camera. Check out the photos:
