So im living in LA... and I work in San Diego. This is a little painful. Hehe. I started working at Sony on pre-rendered Cinematics for a PS3 title. Im a contracting for them so I checked all the legal paperwork and its cool for me to still work on my own stuff provided im not working on my titles on site.

I updated my demo reel. I might be interested in taking more freelance or trading art assets for technology/coding. So drop me a line and well talk. No work for stock options or anything like that. I had enough of that during the dot com era. Hehe.

I have two titles that I am making in TGB that I am hoping to have ready to show screens by Christmas. I have a third one ive been messing around with the code for but I need animated collision polys. I have it working but im a little afraid that since im updating it based on the frames of the animation and my game starts to skip frames then ill it wont register hits.

Im waiting to hear back from some of my friends that are helping me assemble the team that I want. Im contracting artists in Japan to help me with my work on one of the titles. The language barrier might be a little of an issue but my Japense has gotten better than the last time when I went drinking with Square/Enix friends in Tokyo.

P.s. If your in the LA area and want a Japanese arcade machine hit me a line. Hehe. Im selling my personal one to make space.

Ah so you work up in Miramesa. Cool. I'm a little south and to the east of there. Yeah Sony has a cool site up there. They have a bunch of different sites throughout San Diego further north in Rancho Bernardo. I worked with them up there for a while about 4 years ago. Not for game development though. Well I hope you like working with them. I'll check out your site.

Ajari:
Yup! Miramesa. Hehe. I just need to find a perm type room situation because im randomly grabbing hotel rooms every night. Ive also worked in Carlsbad at the Rockstar office there. I had a sweet apartment in SD itself. I wish I had that place again instead of hotel ghetto. hehe.

Anton:
Well actually at night its pretty close to the LA weather. Also its a bit foggy sometimes driving on the 5 freeway. :)

Marcus:
Romanji is your friend when it doesnt work. Also my reading is horrific. So I usually use translation software when trying to read my Japanese friend's blog posts. Hehe.
