Okayyyyy

Awww yeah, Mat's livin' it up with the big boys.

They make you do the dirty work

I don't know if I can make it right now. I'm thinking about it. I was saving to take Abbey to Disneyworld. On the other hand, I intend to start a gaming site soon, and this would be great experience.

How did you get into all this? Have you done work in that field?

Nope. I'm just awesome.

As for Twisted Pixel, I was one of the winners of the 'Speedy 'Splode contest back when 'Splosion Man came out. We've kind of kept in touch through the years. They even sent me meat for my birthday a couple years ago. You can see where I was one of the winners here: http://www.twistedpixelgames.com/spl...n/contest.html

Also, my attempts to win the contest are mostly documented here: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showth...ion#post396298

You have to pay for that? (The PAX visit, not Disneyworld of course)

Damn, you're one lucky bastard.

It's expensive to take trips. Plus, I've already used up a lot of my vacation time at work.

Here's a video of the entry that beat me. This guy is unfairly good at these games.

I think the 'moral' thing to do would take your daughter to Disney World.

Also that is awesome OANST. Someone at Twisted Pixel must read Giant Bomb!

This. :P

Hey if it's going well for you, maybe you could use the opportunity to your advantage and get some sort of career within the gaming scene somehow. You're obviously liked enough by some of the major players.

Damn. That's cool. Wonder what game they're working on now. Did Ms. Splosion man ever get released, or is it still in development?

It got released last year

They already put out a new game after Ms. 'Splosion Man called The Gunstringer.

Ms. 'Splosion Man was fantastic, by the way.

If you do decide to go, let me know. I'll take you out for food/amazing local beer.

I just now caught that you're gonna be going to PAX. Super jealous. Have fun, take lots of pics.

Wait. We'll probably be back in California by the time PAX comes. Oh well. Have fun.

Was this in response to them finding out about the DoubleFine thing, or completely independant of that?

Sounds cool. I'd probably take Abbey to Disneyworld, though.

Don't take this comment as a party pooper one or one where I tell you how to raise your child.

Well, an opportunity like this doesn't really come along every day. That's what I'm thinking.

Also: when is PAX?

Pretty much what Dynamithix said.

Nate: I have no idea if they even know that happened.
