Wow.

A lot has happened since I've neglected to update my blog in the last month. And I do mean a lot.

Erin's parents bought her a really nice digital camera, which arrived today. I messed around with it earlier and will no doubt be using it to take a ton of pictures in the future, most of which will probably end up on here.

We now own an HDTV. It's a 30-inch Samsung Slimfit CRT. And it's nice. As if I needed another reason to pretty much ignore my Wii. Metroid should change that, though.

And lastly, the big one, I am in talks to have my game published as I type this. The company has looked over a presentation and some videos I provided them and now want a playable build of the game which I'll probably deliver on Friday. And there's not just that...they also offered me a job. A real, honest-to-god industry job. I'm still pretty much in disbelief. The company is in Raleigh, NC, which seems like a pretty good place to live. I mean, I've been planning this all along, but now that it's actually happening it all seems so fast. I emailed the their creative director back and told him I'd love to have a job, so I imagine next I'm going to be invited down there to meet with them and discuss specifics. Even now it just hasn't hit me. I guess I'll probably be going to the Game Developer's Conference next year...something else that is simply hard to believe. And to top it all off, after doing some more research on the company I just found out that Bernie Stolar works there. Bernie, Father of the Dreamcast, "There is no more Tekken," Stolar. Unbelievable. I'm trying not to get too excited until everything is a done deal, but that fact that I'm still up at 5:30 in the morning writing this should pretty much say how I feel.

If you're just focused, hard-working, and determined you've already beaten out 90% of the other people who won't even try to accomplish something simply because they believe they can't. Odds are you'll succeed. This is SO awesome.
