"PROUD, IN A FATHERLY SORT OF WAY" OR "HOW TO DEFINE YOUR OWN DESTINY"

reading this post and this other post from rocco's blog made me very happy yesterday. he, derrick, and shawn are making it happen for themselves. they are making money doing something they thought was cool... they shot a show planned for public access, put a few clips online, and the rest is history. a few of us at gamespy bit, helped them out the best way we could, and hopefully had a small part in getting them where they are today. rocco, your success pleases me more than you know. i wish you well in the future, and look me up if you need help. i love your energy.

watching these boys succeed gives me hope. with all i want to do, and all the potential projects that have crossed my path recently, i can't help but feel that positive energy in the air. pretty soon, people in powerful positions will realize that there a bunch of people out there with big ideas that can be quickly and simply executed. and i can't wait to do my part.

want proof? look at ubisoft. they're working with penny arcade and, as mentioned, mega 64 in completely interesting ways. even the frag dolls thing is unique. sure, marketing is evil. but at least they're trying something modern. carlos and i imagine that there's a smart young person at ubi making some very important decisions. i wonder exactly who it is? i wonder if it wasn't something raymond said ;) long story...

anyway, it's an interesting time to a be a gamer with ideas. because as it stands, mainstream media is missing the boat. it's time for a revolution, and we will lead it. Posted by ryan at February 12, 2005 12:58 PM | TrackBack
