@olandgren Then sometimes you end up having to ask "How did this ever work at all?"

Grats to all my Blizzard family on the triumphant return of Blizzcon. From all the game team announcements to Le Sserafim and the incredible Overwatch World Cup, it was truly an amazing show.

@evandorkin The lesson in this comic is 100% hard truth in game design, too. Just replace "scene" with mechanic and "script" with quest, encounter, system, etc.

I've retired after 26 years as a game designer at Blizzard. Had a great run working on so many cool games with so many great people over that time.
Now I'm moving on to the new phase of my life where I devote my time and energy to improving my health, both physical and mental.

Reminder to all my SoCal friends. Go outside. It's only after a big rain that you can actually see what clean air without all the emissions and particulates looks like.

That was a pretty cool match of Overwatch. Yep.

@cydereal @RiotLavaliere And once the housing lotteries finish, there's the secondary gold rush for everything associated with new housing. All the furnishings, the submarines, etc.

Had a wonderful dinner experience by Fruition with @SheldonMenery @GavinVerhey last night. Thanks to @CedricAPhillips, Chef Phillips, and the rest of their team for a special night.

@MattMrX @HugoBark_ @Blizzard_Ent @overwatchleague Congratulations, Matt!

[Scott Mercer @GScottM]

@Sunset_SC2 I can certainly empathize with you on that front. Cheers, Amelia, and thanks for all the great work, both seen and unseen!

@AcornEllieYa Cake in all its myriad forms, shapes, frostings, and flavors is a wonderful thing.

@SonRebell @TheHermitDruid Hey, and you like this place they have them in NY, too!

[Scott Mercer @GScottM]

@cydereal Working on WoW encounters is truly a great gig.
