LA Home

I have been in LA for a week now.
Making these lemons into my lemonade home.
Not even lemons so much. I just have to give it time and figure it all out.
I have this limited time to make naive NEW GUY "mistakes", so I'm trying to
take all of those opportunities. There's a lot of stuff out of my control, so I'm
doing my best to stay as productive as possible.
Luckily I've got a lot of great friends here to help me out every step of the way.

Work Day Wednesday

We took today off from the office. We started the morning by having breakfast with the game director/producer. 2 hours of a great discussion about this game and what we need to do to get everything in order. We're all on the same page and it's going to be very fun.
Next, Amanda and I decided to take a tour of Old Quebec. It's a huge section of town and an amazing sight. Surprises around every corner.

We tried to get some lunch, but it was impossible to find the burritos in this place...

We walked to the St. Lawrence River then up to see the incredible Chateau Frontenac.

Then we paid $2 to ride up a steep cliff in a Funicular. An experience I never thought I'd get!


All in all, Quebec is a beautiful city... but 90% of the retail customer service is terrible. Quebec seems to hold a bigger grudge against Americans than anyone in any other place I've been. Weird.

Work Day Two

"Ubi Tuesday"
My writing partner and I decided to push ourselves and put in a double work day today. We tried to write two days worth of work in one day so we can take some time off tomorrow and check out the city. We almost accomplished our task. I estimate we'll have two hours of work tomorrow, so plenty of time to check this city out in the daylight.

Not much video today.
We were the last people to leave the office today, which is weird considering yesterday was our first day ever even in the place.

Work Day One

Something I learned on my first day of work in Quebec today...
The famous KFC slogan, "Finger Lickin' Good!" doesn't translate very well into Chinese.

Quebec Food Challenge

This goes out to my Kobos people.
Morgan, Devon, Jamie - as you requested.

Old Quebec




I think it's this crazy staircase that separates the new and the old in Quebec.


Occupons Quebec

This is happening on the artsy end of the Quebec University (as I understand it) and that's a couple blocks from my hotel... near the starbucks. Coincidence PORTLAND???


(For Sean Fleek)

Quebec is in Canada

I am spending a week in Quebec City, Quebec Canada to work on another Ubisoft project.
I will be updating this blog with my hilarious adventure quips.

Please come along on this adventure with me!
