busy. My main job is to write all the dialogue for the game but I also

(Ed Olson of Micro Forte and Fallout Guru Chris Taylor.
How long have you been doing this stuff?
I've been in the industry for 3 years and doing
design for 1 ½ years. I was in the military before that so I
realized that a job that I can enjoy yourself and be creative is more
important than anything.

I just finished Start Trek New Worlds recently.
I also wrote dialogue for Y2K the Game (a very small game).

follow the NY Rangers.

On video it would be Mystery Men, which I thought
was very funny. I don't go to the movies much but I watched X-Men on
the big screen, which was very good considering I feared the worst.
