A few weeks ago I received an email from out of the blue from some guy I had never met. He had stumbled across my blog while searching for Rhys Hovey. For anyone who hasn't read my previous post about him, he's an old teacher of mine from Ai with all sorts of crazy conspiracies about the government. He actually believes, I shit you not, that the government has satellites in space that can pull ASCII characters from your brain.
Anyway, this guy tells me that he used to work with Rhys at EA in California and had similar experiences with him. He and others there wanted to help, but since Rhys seemed unwilling to accept it, they just kind of watched the freak show like the rest of us. He asked if I had any other stories to share. I had a couple, but I wanted to check over the old post just to see what I had originally wrote. In doing so, I found another chunk of madness scrawled in the comments from Rhys himself.
The comment consists of several pages of the most random, crazy shit you will probably ever read. You'll read something, think to yourself, "Man, that's the craziest shit I've ever read," and then read something immediately after that blows it out of the water. I think, "There was not cum on the teddy bear, there was never a teddy bear," has got to be my favourite line.
...My god, the freak show continues. I just went to grab the link to use in this post and discovered an even newer comment from Sept 28. Apparently Rhys has uncovered proof that he is a mind control victim. Look folks, I just work here, I couldn't make up shit as crazy as what he's writing.
What I find most fascinating about this series of events is that my blog has been dormant for almost a year and yet Rhys is still compelled to add new comments to that post. Because of this, I've turned off comments on this post, just to avoid starting some fucking crazy flame war. I've said it before, but Rhys is definitely the most genuinely insane person I've ever met.

A Return
Wow, it's been a long time. I've been flirting with the idea of posting for quite some time, but having Vicki, an old friend from Kelowna, actually ask for some posts is really what pushed me into it. I have a few game reviews I want to post and a new anecdote or two, but for now, I'll just post a bit of catch-up.
I'm still working at Blue Castle Games and I'm still really enjoying myself. I'm currently working on the competitive multiplayer portion of the game called Terror is Reality. It's really exciting to be getting my hands on some gameplay and I get to work with some really challenging stuff. I find it rewarding and I'm excited to finish the game and see what the world thinks.
I'm planning on moving to France with my girlfriend Ave around the beginning of 2011. I want to get out of the country and experience a different culture for a few years and France seemed like a pretty cool place. On top of that, I don't want to sacrifice my career in any way and France has some pretty good game companies. I'm learning French right now which is going pretty well. I'm looking forward to when I can sit down and watch a movie in French and actually understand what's going on.
Beyond that, there have been a few events of note, but most of them probably deserve their own post. Instead, I will leave you with the trailer for Terror is Reality.
