    It’s because in my heart I was there partying with you all. :)

    I’m not going anywhere. I’m in my hotel room in Malmö with my Mac hooked up to the TV. I’m loving it, The weather is absolutely stunning here at the moment. and everything’s flat! BIKE TERRITORY!

    I had a RD Documentary playing last night and I felt all warm and familiar. :)

    Wait, a hotel room? I hope your employer’s reimbursing this. When do you get more permanent digs?

    What IS the new job anyway? It should surprise nobody I’m behind the curve on this …

    I’m working as a Sound Designer/Implementer at Tarsier Studios, who made Little Big Planet Vita. So it’s kind of awesome to be working for a company that worked with one of my favorite games!

    LBP Vita is originally what I applied for at Tarsier, but was unsuccessful at the time. 18 months later a similar position opened up and I was asked If I was still interested! (Silly question, really)

    Still can’t quite believe i’m here doing this to be honest. Really weird feeling.

    Sweden, specifially Malmo, is like a PlanEat city, every type of food is done here!

    Looking at images of the city. Turning Torso is pure awesomeness. Will you upload photos when you get settled in? I’m very good at living vicariously through friends. :)

    > Still can’t quite believe i’m here doing this to be honest. Really weird feeling.

    Having seen some of your previous accomplishments, I can totally believe it.

    Sounds like fun – I don’t game but I can appreciate doing something you really like. Great!

    To be honest, I don’t game that much to be honest. Little Big Planet was one of those games that took me by surprise, LBP2 more so. A game that allows people to make their own games within itself is a very special thing, and the stuff that people have managed to make is incredible.

    It’s just nice to be a part of it all :)

    That’s up to the other guys. As far as i’m aware my role on G&T doesn’t need to change. I’m still graphics and audio bod, but it might be a couple of weeks til I get settled in Malmö before you see anything new from me. Job is awesome, btw. First week pretty much completed and today I move into more permanent digs. Which is nice, i’ll be able to concentrate more on my work knowing where I’ll be staying. :)

    I’ve always wanted to go to Sweden (ALMOST went to Malmo a few years ago for a show), now I have the perfect excuse :D

    We don’t have nearly enough of these. :)
    Congratulations on your new place, Danny, now stand back while we party it to shambles!

    That’s because the field trips are expensive as shit, no matter how fun they are, for some of us. :-P

    I missed the boat here, but I’m waving a little flag from the dock with “congratulations” scrawled on it in the most enormous handwriting.

    In that case: Field trip to Indianapolis! :) What is there to do, Annie? Give us a tour!

    Uh … We could eat at St. Elmo’s, with it’s world-famous sob-inducing, burning shrimp sauce. Then it’s off to the largest, ugliest indoor football stadium in North America for churc- I mean, football. Then of course, there’s the speedway, or some shopping. For you there’s the symphony led by maybe the youngest conductor in North America, or one of our several playhouses.

    Actually, it’s pretty good around here … if you have regular disposable income to work with. Which can be a problem. :-)

    That sounds excellent. I have relatives in Kentucky, so maybe I’ll make a trip out of it sometime. :)

    Well, I don’t do football and I wouldn’t eat the cocktail sauce again, but other than that, come on by!

    How’s the new job going so far, Danny? Just started a new job myself today so I know how nervous you must have been.

    First of all, good luck with your new job, Ben.

    Well, what can I say, I bloody love my job, for the first time in my life I can actually enjoy my work day. Every day bring a new set of challenges, and yes it can get frustrated and stressful, but I’d much rather be stressed in the right area than doing a job I couldn’t give two shits about, which has been the case since always.

    I’m hoping I stay longer than 6 months, but we’ll see…

    That’s brilliant to hear! I’m still in early days with my job but I’ve done a couple of days now. I’m working in a care home and I’m hoping that it will lead on to my chosen profession as a psychotherapist. It can be very challenging, but every day is different and I’ll always leave the day knowing I’ve made a difference to someone, and that’s very important to me.

    Spent eleven years working in a supermarket and it was frustrating and stagnating – running round and round with no real result, and, as you, I didn’t give a shit about it anymore. But now I do. It’s a good feeling.

    I’m sure if you’re loving it as much as you say and working hard, six months will fly by and you’ll be there for as long as you want to be. :)
