This right here.. it makes me smile like you wouldn’t believe. It slipped my mind prior to this year that one of my most beloved favoritist game titles of all time.. based on well one of my most beloved favoritist books of all time was made by the company I work for.
Needless to say, ever since I read the writeup on Kotaku yesterday afternoon (fashionably late to the news as per usual), there has been a smile plastered on my face, and a hope in my pocket. It would be but a dream come true to assist in making this dreamworld as purely astonishing as the last one.
My days at Electronic Arts have been… I am learning so much and am surrounded by so very many brilliant minds. I am but a small cog. But a proud little cog.
For those that do not know, I am a game tester at Electronic Arts Los Angeles. I realize that tieing both my professional and personal writings here is dangerous. But this is who I am.
Games have been my passion ever since I can remember. My first memory is actually of video games. My everyday is filled with that world. Of something that I do so much, it’s embedded into me.
It is among the things I dream of. As real as snittermittens and frofflepops. Of cows that produce Hawaiian Punch and a rainbow in the sky of skittles that you can actually taste.
I have many ideas and many a passion. I fear, not all of it has been written yet. I know now that it must be.
Seeing this project at the same time my eyes really became open to finally just do all of mine bid me to write the following succinct letter in response:
Dear boss man up there in Redwood or wherever makes the decisions..
I implore you-hire within please, and move me up.
I would give up my soul for a place on the team working on this game.
Have dougnut. Will trade.
kk thnx bai
Kindest Regards,
