Rare dev share. 2008, neck deep in the Guitar Hero series at Neversoft. “Am I even making games anymore?” I made it another year then jumped ship for Infinity Ward. Best studio ever though, started my game career and shipped 11 games there. We were the oddballs of the industry 🤘

The fun of working on Tony Hawk was having all the pro skaters visiting the studio all the time. With Guitar Hero, that turned into legitimate rock stars walking the hallways.

No joke, one time I full body bumped into James Hetfield in the bathroom while he was wearing head to toe spandex for a motion capture session.
