11:04 AM Marty: Hah - yeah. It's funny, whenever you make a list there's always the "you missed this asshole" comments
Was it ok, though?
11:05 AM me: no i love it
11:06 AM good call on planescape
Marty: Thanks man
The problem was there was a "best tattoos in video gaming" article that made the rounds last year
They had all the people I was thinking of, so I wanted to go a little more obscure
11:07 AM me: oh yeah, some of these are pretty obscure
derek o'toole
wowsers
Marty: haha yeah
Tattoo Assassins. That was more of a joke entry
as I'm sure you picked up on
me: yeah
good work, buddy
11:08 AM Marty: I appreciate that, thanks
So...interesting news
me: yes yes?
Marty: Nothing may come of it, but I emailed the Editor in Chief of Kotaku...
And he got back to me this morning
me: totilo
Marty: Yeah. He said he doesn'
11:09 AM t have any spots right now, but for me to send writing samples and let him know where I'm located since they need freelancers in places they aren't located in
that was a horrible sentance
me: super cool, though
Marty: It's a spark of hope, yes
me: i'd say
Marty: I'm just happy he returned my email
11:10 AM me: since i think kotaku is one of two gaming websites that's actually growing, i'd call that a coup
i'm sure they need canadians
everyone does
Marty: haha
Well, I'm thinking I'd have a leg up since I'm close to a lot of the big canadian studios
well..outside of vancouver
11:11 AM me: yes, and to my dream date jade raymond
[swoons]
Marty: Yes! I had an interview and tour set up with Ubisoft last year...
well...kind of
They cancelled
me: yeah i remember you telling me this
why did they cancel?
and who the fuck can i call to get that back on?
Marty: Mmm too busy. I'm a no-name, etc.
11:12 AM me: ah, of course
Marty: I dealt with her assistant
If I were G4 or someone, I'm sure it would have been different
me: sure
Marty: I'm honestly not bitter
me: were you trying to do it with ____?
Marty: Oh hells no
me: for ____?
Marty: It was an idea I pitched to ____
me: i'm sure they would have loved that
11:13 AM Marty: A profile of Ubisoft's new Toronto office
me: weird
Marty: Yeah. Maybe I wasn't pushy enough?
me: that's odd to me, ____'s not the hugest (which is now a word), but it's not a slouch
11:14 AM oh well. you're loss, Ubisoft
