Howdy, I write and make games. I am a producer of Real Time Cinematics and union organizer at Blizzard.
I like cooking, LA sports, and sneaking entire meals into movie theaters.

It would be crazy cool if Madden’s MyPlayer mode actually took its RP elements seriously.
Like please let me hold out on OTAs for more $$$ on signing. I want to build an art house movie theater in my hometown. We will have a Wong Kar Wai themed champagne spritzer called “In the Mood for Bubbs”

Today, we announced that 80% of the union members @latimes.com are ready to vote yes to authorize a strike.
It has been three years without a contract, without a cost of living raise, without meaningful effort from our leaders to bargain a fair contract.
We deserve better.
So do our readers.
