Ami's Blog from Vancouver: Wrap

by AmiPolizeiFunk 27th June 2013, 15:49 PM

Friday night didn't end at dinner, of course. There were plenty of shenanigans to follow, up and down the very lively Granville Street. I hear there's a video of Sepha floating around somewhere, and I just hope there aren't any videos of me. I'm just proud that we were 2 for 2 on getting Tommy into bars on both Friday and Saturday night, an achievement that was accomplished against great adversity!

In this final wrap up of my Vancouver Blog, I've got some more photos from the fantastic Friday at Relic Studios, as well as a few from our free day on Saturday. While the youngsters were out in the boonies trying to shoot themselves with real guns, Mark, Amee, and I set off for a bike ride through Stanley Park and along The Seawall, with images from the Relic HQ still dancing in our heads.

"I want ladders, 1v1 maps, and fixed-positions. Just put them in the bag, nice and easy", shouts AmiPolizeiFunk

"I want an ice cream. Do you guys want ice creams? Don't worry about the bag... I love you guys!" coos Mark 'Yoink' Liu (center) to Quinn Duffy and Greg Wilson

On Saturday, Amee, Mark, and I grabbed some bikes for a "Stadtrundfahrt" (sight-seeing trip around the city). Amee put together the cool video found below

We met for dinner at The Ticket on Saturday. I brought the Cubanos

I couldn't leave you without just one little tease

Quinn Duffy gave me permission to show that last slide, as long as I blacked out almost everything. If you've followed his tweets, you'll know that Quinn is a huge fan of censorship and information suppression. Just kidding! This slide merely shows you that this thing that many of us are clammering for is on the radar, and the devs know about it. No guarantees that it's coming or ever will come! We will deny everything and then I'll have to admit that I photoshopped in the text too.

I hope you enjoyed my Blog from Vancouver. I had a blast meeting great people, eating great food, and visiting the greatest game studio on the planet. That's a wrap!
