Watching the Guild Wars doc and while I was only there for a year and change, itt was my first job. And it was such a year of firsts. There's a lot of conflicting emotions around it, but I'll always be immensely proud of my time there, and the people I shared that time with youtu.be/cpm2fBvrAbw

I heard that Jim Ward had to retire from voice acting because of COVID years ago...and it's a shame to see a legend go like that.
Not only did we lose Jeff Garcia (Sheen) but we also lost Jim Ward, a actor i have enjoyed for decades from Doug Dimmadome from Fairly OddParents and especially Qwark from Ratchet and Clank.
Rest in Peace Jim and thank you for so many memorable moments

My humble birthday girl requests: play Angeline Era, tell a friend, blog about it, or write a review!!
In addition to art, did you know I was story lead? Angeline Era embodies so much of what I've chased over the past few years, from wildflowers to parties to Apocrypha to ancestry.

See also: BAFTA's "Game Beyond Entertainment", which ends up as a catch-all for games with PoC in them + social impact games. While it's an honour to be nominated for a BAFTA I was utterly baffled that *Thirsty Suitors* a game about fighting your hot toxic exes and wuxia cooking was in this category
On Games for Impact:
“It's good that it's there, but it's also, in a way, kind of insulting. Because giving a special award for a game for actually meaning something or having some human content... we should be aspiring for that in every category."
