For those who are not on Facebook, here is the picture from our recent meet & greet with Joe Satriani.
Joe Satriani is totally holding my guitar.
Many thanks to all those who contributed money for the tickets. This was a dream come true for me.
NASCAR Kart Racing is in stores now. Buy as many copies as you feel you can afford. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes. 
To commemorate the herculean feat of creating a new game in less than a year with about a dozen core people, our team took the picture below.
“What’s with the yellow pole?” you may ask. That’s our unofficial mascot. You can also see the coveted studio championship belt. So anyway, we had fun making this game, and we hope you have fun playing it … and we hope you spend money buying it … no, really. 😉
Hi everybody. I haven’t posted in a while (since last April). I’ve been busy working on EA’s latest NASCAR game, NASCAR Kart Racing for the Wii. We’re wrapping up now. The game is scheduled for release on February 10, 2009, just in time for the Daytona 500. See the official site for more details.
My office recently had a beard-growing contest, the Fortnight-Long Beard Challenge. “Why a beard-growing contest?” you may ask. Well, it’s just one part of the larger Mountain Man Challenge.
“Mountain Man Challenge?”
Yep. Mountain Man Challenge.
My office currently has just seven guys with no gals to keep us in line. That occasionally leads to some silliness. As I recall, our manager was bragging (jokingly) about his toughness, and our fresh-out-of-college guy disagreed and basically called him a sissy boy. And so the Mountain Man Challenge was born, to prove our manliness.
It is at this point when people inevitably ask, “Do you guys get any work done?” Yes, we are actually quite serious about our work, but we like to have fun, too.
Anyway, I didn’t win the beard contest. Booooooo. The guy who won does have a thicker beard than I do, but I think I should have gotten bonus points for going to Jenn’s formal office Christmas party without shaving. That’s commitment.
Here is a picture at the end of the contest.
I’m trying to give a tough-guy look for extra manliness. You be the judge.
Next up in the Mountain Man Challenge: log rolling, or maybe axe throwing.
Happy New Year, everybody…Jason and I just returned from Alabama and Florida where we spent the holidays with our families. We had a wonderful time — we just wish that everyone lived a little bit closer. Now that the holidays are pretty much over, we will start on the baby’s room!
Behold our national championship basketball signed by the starting five (Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, Al Horford, Lee Humphrey, and Taurean Green).
The Triangle Gator Club held a raffle for a football signed by Urban Meyer and a basketball signed by the starting five. Initially Jason and I each bought one ticket for the football and one ticket for the basketball. But, a few weeks later, I decided I wanted to up my chances for the basketball, so we each bought one more ticket for the basketball. My second basketball ticket turned out to be the lucky winner! Go Gators!
