Bringing back some memories... Both Dirk and I liked the devs. They were kind, enthusiastic, and passionate about the game. I suppose I can be more direct now, since that time has long since passed, but the few times we met with some of the executives was when things went south. They were very obviously feeding us lines of BS that we didn't want to hear, the devs didn't want to hear, and the players didn't want to hear. Typical EA stuff right there. If the execs had just listened to literally anyone else besides their charts and garbage marketing research, they'd have made a much better game. I also remember the restaurant they took us to. I'm pretty sure the filet mignon that I ordered cost more than my plane ticket (They paid for both )

More like I interviewed him, and I also brought in questions from online watchers to ask him whilst on stage. Bottom line, I know it was live streamed, but, I have no idea where. The interview idea came at the very last minute and I spent my time getting questions ready, getting ready for the interview itself, and trying not to crap myself, rather than concern myself with where it was being broadcast. That was a job for the tech crew behind the scenes. It's funny being on the other side of the camera, not having to concern myself with where it was streaming or whatnot. Maybe @dirktator remembers? He was there, but in the audience.

Don't mind me. I came back to play with the Christmas lights.

Everyone, meet Astro Bun! I've had bunnies every day of my life for the last 20 years and when this little boy popped up, I had to get him. I think he's a Dutch/Rex mix.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. She was a special one.

She died. Third stroke was too much for her. Not gonna lie... this one is wrecking me more than usual. She's been a part of my life for, by my calculation, around 22% of it. That's not a small figure. And now that figure will begin to shrink.

I can't believe it took me this long to realize this but... She's been far more keen on being pet now than ever. Sometimes she'll just run up and plop her head on the floor, meaning she wants pets. I always oblige. It finally dawned on me that she's no longer capable of scratching her head anymore. Of course she's itchy! She loves it when I use the fingernails.

Yup, Roxas has reached the ripe old age of 10! She's had a stroke and she's slowed down a bunch, but she's still going! Hard to believe I've had her for about 20% of my life.

I did try Inkscape as Dirk recommended. However, it appears that the EPS files I received are too complex for it. I had to go with Illustrator.

Right now, I'm trying to speed-learn EPS files. I've commissioned a lot of artwork over the years, but this is the first time for logo design. Evidently, a standard for logos is EPS file format. I've been doing my best to read up on these, but it's all gibberish to me. The info sites keep talking about "vectors" and I have no clue what those are. From what I can tell, I do no have a program that can handle these properly. I can open them in Photoshop, but they appear as regular, flattened, pictures. Are there good, free EPS editors? Are EPS files layered or flat?

Oh, I got screenied. Preserved for post... prostadig... prostatearity!

Thanks for the replies! I realize I should probably have stated the sort of music I'm looking for, which might help with suggestions. I'm looking for a trailer-style piece. Whether it's orchestral, synth, or whatever doesn't really matter as long as the mood is right. I have had limited experience with sidtes like SoundCloud, but I shall investigate further as suggested.

I reckon that anyone who knows me and knows what I do has a pretty good idea that I've commissioned many, many pieces of art over the years. For a new project I'm working on, I am might be interested in commissioning a piece of music for it. My searches for people to take music commissions, however, show prices that frequently run in the hundreds or thousands of dollars for something a few minutes long. I'm not looking for anything massive or commercial here. This is a personal project for which I receive rather minimal donations. If anyone can help steer me in the right direction, towards some affordable music commissions, that would be nice.

I'm sure you could.

I didn't take Jaze and Rhoskel down to Kentucky last time I went, so I took them this time.I took other dolls down as well, I didn't have time for everyone. Here's Beowulf doing some GQ poses.
