Hi freaks and geeks:
I am indeed going to Microsoft. Moving out of lovely and mild San Francisco and into the bowel of a rainy miserable beast.
Just kidding. I'm actually in Seattle right now looking at housing with the wife and this morning has been the first sign of a clear day I've seen in this city in months.
What am I going to be doing at MS? Can't talk about the project yet, but I won't be beta-testing or marketing -- it is a dev role. But it's going to be a dev role in the same capacity of Frankie over at Bungie... meaning I'm going to chronicle the development of a game from inside the studio, as well as maintain the game's website, etc. And of course, I'm going to try my damndest to make sure the title also turns out awesome.
I can't wait until marketing and PR deems it is time to announce the game. It was just this super crazy opportunity to not only get into the development side of things, but do it at next-gen ground zero on a project I'm totally nuts about. I love 1UP but I totally couldn't pass this up.
Thanks for the hilarious words of support, but whatever, I'll still be around GAF certainly, and yeah, I guess I'll be playing XBL a helluva lot more now.
