Hmm.. well, I have been working on my admin work over at www.dandwiki.com.. I have been looking into jobs (to no avail) and I have been trying to assist over here at tsumea (might get me into the eyes of a game developer). Oh, and I am in the process of designing 2 games..

Pandemic Studios Brisbane is in the news recently because of Matt. Who the hell is Matt? Well, a question might just help with the answer. The "Where the hell is Matt" videos have been quite a phenomenon on youtube, drawing over 30 million views and grabbing the attention of a few corporate sponsors, the latest of which coming from Visa.
More interestingly, the goofy dance that Matt Harding does many times in his travel videos originated at the very offices at Pandemic Studios in Brisbane...…
I've always thought the next step for the gaming podcast geniuses at AustralianGamer started doing some visual media - being able to see the games while they're talking about it makes perfect sense.

Just a reminder that the tsumea modeller and programmer challenge deadline is tonight, midnight (EST), so be sure to read my post about challenge submissions in an earlier news post on how to submit your entries. For programmers, you may have to host your files somewhere for me to grab (there are plenty of file storage services, or you could use one of your isp host's webspace - however, I will look into making available an ftp service). Once you've hosted your file, shoot me a private message…
