As you know, last month was the yearly Game Industry Pilgrimage to Mecca, A.K.A. Game Developers Conference. Once again I had the honor of being a Volunteer and, as is the tradition, this year was even better than the last. For starters this was the first solid year I went without seeing all of my friends from AZ. Just being around them I could feel the creative wheels in my head start to turn. I guess thats what happens when you're around passionate and creative people. On top of that, I ended up with a couple of cool computers at the end of the conference. It was also great to see Tim and Ian get some recognition for everything they do. Especially the bad ass CA trophy built by Amber and Carrie.
Another great thing to come from that week and my CA family, is my new job and location. Bioware Austin in beautiful Austin, TX. As I type this line I'm sitting near downtown Austin enjoying beautiful weather and fantastic food. Next week I start the new job (QA Core Tester) at a company I've wished I could work at many times before. I'm blown away by not only the fact that I have a job there, but how everything kinda fell into place to make this happen. Luckily, it worked out for us and here we are. We? Yes! My wonderful girlfriend Angela made the move with me so I had some company to explore Austin with.
So thats the short version of my March. Now its a new April in a new town with a new (way way way better) job and a ton of exciting ideas to work on. If you've had a better March or even a good one, tell me about it in the comments. I know I can't be the only one :)
