Everybody’s favorite unemployed former Shadowbane dev has officially announced his employment today: he’s going to be Lead Combat Designer working at Bioware Austin.
Congrats, Damion! That’s awesome. But I said that on Zen already, so… I’m done.

There’s been a small shitstorm, and we’ve got some news to tell.

From what our sources say…BlackSnow is blowing smoke up collective rears.
