Got a bit drunk last night, walked home.

Walking though wet streets I want nothing but the rain with nothing
other than the rain to replace the faces that left me tonight. Another
face from the company that dispersed, I feel hurt I feel free with my
feet in the wet yet there’s something missing. And that’s you. All the
people that you brought to my life, Pandemic, all the trouble and the
wonder that you’ve brought to my life like a supernova fades into the
wet streets tonight as the last of you leaves. Leaves the bar, leaves
the country, leaves me restless lonely and alone. I See you, Pandemic,
now, as all that was.
Company collapse glistens in my 2am haze.

Got a bit drunk last night, walked home. by

The admirable games company Pandemic Studios has brought numerous amazing people into my life including some of the most motivated, interesting, smart and dedicated people I’ve ever met. In this list I can include partners, best friends, and mentors.

As the company GFC crushed the industry, EA bought out the Brisbane branch of Pandemic, toppling the company into itself.

After a going away party in the Valley where I said goodbye to friends I’d grown to love that I knew I’d probably never see again, I left the bar, walked past the old building (Pictured: http://is.gd/dnMJb ) shining like a ghostly shell, a little upset, as you might imagine, and wrote this post via my phone.
