Two quick updates:<\/p>\n
1. I appeared on Gamespot's live video show, On the Spot<\/a> (32:57 - 47:35), the other day to talk about Darkspore. Usually when doing video in the past I've had the luxury of re-shooting if anything goes wrong, but here the combination of 4 large video cameras plus a plethora of other equipment, a huge green screen, and the knowledge that some large number of internet denizens were watching my every word was quite intimidating. Still, I think it turned out well enough.<\/p>\n 2. Darkspore launches on Tuesday! I feel like a proud father whose baby is about to get assessed by a group of stern looking judges immediately after birth (probably how pretty much everyone feels when launching a digital game, but working at Wizards didn't give me a whole lot of experience on that front). Waiting for reviews to start popping up on Metacritic<\/a> is agonizing but I'm confident the game will put up a good showing. Can't complain about starting out with an 85.<\/p>\n I'll be staying on the Darkspore team to keep improving the game after launch, so I'll be reading any and all feedback eagerly. Hope you all enjoy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two quick updates: 1.
