What Happened To Deb and Lara?

by Spencer Cagan · in General Discussion · 04/02/2010 (8:13 am) · 10 replies

These ladies did excellent interviews and tutorials regarding Torque. Did they not move to L.V.? Are they not a part of GG?

Just wondering. Thanks.

@Spencer - Deborah did go to Las Vegas with us, but she moved over to the game studio's team (congrats are in order).

Lara has always been remote, but she is now a contractor with us. She is still working on video tutorials, which I am overseeing.

Well, that's good. I haven't seen any blog updates from either, thus I posed the question.

Thank you for the quick response, Centaur Mich!

*Stalker Alert*

JUST JOKING! I couldn't resist ... my apologies. :)

Of course a real stalker would already know that Lara was last seen frowning at kids' flippant comments on the GDC chat, and Debs is ... oh hang on ...

Whoops, forgot to change my name back from April 1st fun. Back to boring old Michael.

@Steve - I'll pass along your stalker sentiments to Deborah =)

My stalker list is a long line...at least in my own mind. ;)

But to reiterate, I am still around the office. I'm writing for the games team now. I'm living a dream I've had literally since I was 16, so I have to say I'm pretty excited. I do miss marketing Torque, though. It was a great opportunity to connect with so many developers at all stages in their careers. So if you're interested in keeping in touch to talk about your game projects, to connect, or to send large cash donations, I'm still available at deborahm@instantaction.com. Or you can check out my personal blog on project management.

(Ok, so I'm kidding about the cash donations. Mostly. No seriously. J/K)

Oh, Mike, Mike, Mike....

You know I have ways of finding out where you live, right?

I got asked on a flight a few years back if I was old enough to sit in the exit row of an airplane. Actually, I think she asked, "Honey, do you think you can sit here? You have to be sixteen, y'know?"

I was 27 at the time.

The look on her face...priceless.
