Tim just officially accepted an offer to join the team at Airtight Games in Redmond, Washington. He has always wanted to make video games and lately the urge has been getting stronger and stronger. They have a great team (heck, he interviewed with 20% of the company so he has a pretty good idea!) and "Dark Void" looks like it's going to be a very cool game. You can watch the early in-progress trailer here. It is a new company, working on it's first title, but they have an experienced team and a fantastic publisher (Capcom) so you will definitely hear more about them when the game gets closer to release.It's a pretty big move in a short amount of time, but his work visa with R&H will expire on Monday and INS (aka "The Man") probably wouldn't be to lenient if we didn't get a new one right away.
Redmond is a beautiful suburban city just a few minutes east of Seattle. There is all kinds of greenery and trails so it'll be a great place to get our first dog - which we're hoping to do after Christmas. We are still in the process of hunting down an apartment, but many of them allow dogs up to 60 pounds (we refuse to get a little Paris-Hilton-accessory dog) so it should be okay.
Here's a little Google Earth view of the area with some of the nearby apartments marked. It's full of pretty fall colours now. Hopefully it stops raining long enough for us to enjoy it once in a while. :)
