Isn't that what Omni was doing?". So I dragged my eyes over to your blog. Hah. I'm mad sleuthy. ;)<BR/><BR/>It has been a long fucking journey hasn't it? I remember almost every little step you just talked about and the IRC conversations about it (well...when you could get on IRC). <BR/><BR/>I hope whatever this new move is will reward you with even more success.

It looks like Sony is now hiring for your old position based on a new Joystiq post now, and it seems like whoever they get will have some big shoes to fill.

I love and appreciate everything you've done for God Of War, I can't wait to see what you work on next. I'm not sure where my life is going, it's going to be somewhere in between something with computers and videos games and playing the guitar & screaming. Screaming as in.... metal, I don't like to judge myself on my scream, because my bias opinion will never disappear, but everyone that has heard it seems to like it or love it, and that's awesome.<BR/><BR/>-Devin GreerDevin Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905073418350989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21835806.post-51852545974851062482007-06-01T13:30:00.000-07:002007-06-01T13:30:00.000-07:00A Derek Daniels, that video brings back some memor...A Derek Daniels, that video brings back some memories :) I'll never forget the good old days when it was you and I and Adam, Omar, Eric, Cory and the animators, Kutcher, Mike B. and all those old Paradox people "living the dream"! We have all since moved on to different things, but hopefully someday we will all get to work together again...it was truly about the most fun you could have at a job (even when working 100 hours weeks for a year :P).<BR/><BR/>The only thing I don't miss about it is you backyard people playing the Street Fighter move in the designer area back to back for about a month!<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you on your new job, I am sure you will own it up over there like you do everywhere you go!<BR/><BR/>John EdwardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21835806.post-54981627197736859072007-06-01T04:39:00.000-07:002007-06-01T04:39:00.000-07:00Moving on you say?

As you and Eric were the only guys besides Corey I had the chance to even briefly communicate with.<BR/><BR/>There were a number of things I was looking to talk about in the past but I'll now just focus on what bothers me:<BR/><BR/>"Why was the technique I refer to as 'homerun' snuffed out for use in combat?" <BR/><BR/>It was all in good fun. Or am I mistaken in thinking that it was a deliberate action rather then just something that happened. <BR/><BR/>I rather liked launching enemies over invisible barriers. Shinobier did too as seen in his God Mode NUR+ video:<BR/><BR/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=cUlAf04Ru4w<BR/><BR/>Without it I wouldn't have spent time mastering Artemis let alone finding the High Jump.
