All My Old Skool Mocker Pals

[Buffalo Tom]

Well, I got a job offer from Electronic Arts in Los Angeles.

Wish me luck!

[Mockery]

Whoah! Nice man, many congrats? So what you going to be doing for them exactly? Design? Coding? Testing?

[Buffalo Tom]

Front-end GUI programmer on 'Goldeneye 2'.

I'm still shellshocked. This is my dream job.

[Bennett]

Major Congrats!

Do you have to move? I'm not a big L.A. fan, but to be able to land a job like that, i think, would more than make up for it.

[Buffalo Tom]

Yup. EA will basically pack up my belongings for me (including my car) and move everything down there.

[Comrade Rocket]

thats extremlly cool. Keep us informed and make sure they dont mess it up.

[Karnage]

Awesome! I don't even know you, but good luck. That'll be a cool job.

[Helm]

Good luck with that!

[Buffalo Tom]

Hey, Mock, can you list some good books/tutorials/documentation for Flash?

You and Doopa should apply. EA Los Angeles is on a major hiring craze.

[Protoclown]

Holy shit, John! That's fucking awesome!! Good luck to you and I hope you have a blast out there!

What's your AIM name Buffalo? I'll talk to ya all about the Flash stuff. I'd love to work for EA, but I doubt I have anything to offer them other than being a game designer (not graphics, I mean being able to create storylines 'n all that). But yeah, Re could definitely do some killer graphics for EA. Perhaps a texture artist or something along those lines...

That's so cool you're gonna be programming games for them. And no matter how hard it may get man, don't give up. You now have a job that many people would kill for. :o

[sports]

Wow, congrats man. EA is a big video game company, you have to be real good to work for them.

[Helm]

Let's not let this fucking moron spoil the jovial mood. I'm going to try to restrain myself.

Uh... sports. Your statement was a bit on the obvious side. And a tad useless. It's like as if someone told you "I have 23 festering back wounds and they hurt like hell" and you replied "really? that's almost 25!". See? Yes. Bye.

[Buffalo Tom]

Well, now you know someone on the 'inside'.

Thanks to all my old skool Mocker pals. They know who they are.

Check out the listings for the LA studio:

Ooooooo, über connections :o

That's good to know though, especially since we want to move out West anyway.

Hope you're ready to let us crash at your place.

[Buffalo Tom]

Heh, you guys will have to fend for yourselves if you crash at my place, because I'm a lazy host.

[Carnivore]

I expect the fact that you will no longer live in Canada will do nothing to curb your taunting me about my beloved Bruins. In any event, congratulations. You rock and you deserve it.

Mock, could we please delete the posts of any non-Old Skool Mockers in this thread?

[AChimp]

Awesome sounding job, BT. Be sure to hide lots of obscene easter eggs.

[bigtimecow]

HOLY SHITE


GRATS MANG

[ArrowX]

Holy SHIT congrats guy!

Whats the pay like and where in LA are youmoving?

Holy Jesus I thought this place was like a bottom of the barrel site with noone of importance. Guess you proved mt wrong!

[HickMan]

DON'T MAKE IT SUCK

Good luck, Tom. Even though half of the people who posted in this thread, including me are not old skool :/ good luck anyway

[Drev]

If you were a true I-Mocker, you'd give us all copies of Goldeneye 2 eerpressure

[eggyolk]

It's all a joke.

[Anonymous]

holy shit!! I am so freakin happy for you! You are awesome and completely deserve it. man, I love to hear great news like this.

[Buffalo Tom]

Thanks everybody.

I don't forget friends, so everybody I've met in person here who has aspirations to get into the video game industry, consider me your 'inside' source.
