Damn LJ not logging me in.
That was me. Congrats, dude.

That would scan better if SJ was actually, you know, a real game designer.

You know? As in "Person Who Designs Games?"

Thanks, man. It was a great cap to an awesome year.

Some day, when you get a chance, ask Jason Blair what Matt "Second Nicest Guy in Gaming" Snyder thinks about ol' SJ. Bring ear plugs.

Yowza! Congrats! When are you back in the Bay Area? Kate and I have a bottle of sake we picked up in Japan which we could crack open in your honor...

[identity profile] benlehman.livejournal.com 2006-08-15 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm... sake. Thanks!

I'll be back a week from today, in the afternoon. Only for the one night, though, hopefully (although it could be two if I run into trouble at the embassy.)

I said to you at the con, but you totally deserve it twice. "Congrats!"

It was cool getting to meet you in person, keep in touch.

Shine on, you crazy diamond. You do realize this just moves the bar higher for the next game?

I predict that almost half the people who liked Polaris will dislike Bliss Stage.
