One A Day - On This Day in 2004

Irvine CA 2004 Point of View Inc. Chuck's Office

On this day in 2004 Chuck was coming in to work early to paint a bomber jacket for his friend. They are both into old planes. I took progress pictures of it every few days. It turned out very nice.

This is a pretty early progress shot of it.

One A Day - Catching up....

So I had pictures all picked out but failed to post them. It's due to being pretty busy, being a bit lazy and the new World of Warcraft Expansion so here is what I missed posting so far this month.

On this day in 2004 Jon (not me) was feeling overworked so he created a system to help control the flow of work coming in.

One A Day - On This Day in 2003

Irvine CA Point of View


On this day in 2003 we were in the process of shipping Spawn: Armageddon. It was an aggressive schedule (like all schedules at POV) so we worked many hours. It the end it got done on time. This is our common dev area where we had the game running so we could all sit and play it together and comment on it.

Irvine CA The Old EA Building (The new ((at the time)) Point of View Building

On this day in 2003 the Old EA sign was going down and the new Point of View sign was going up. I'm not sure which sign ended up being up the longest. I think it was the Point of View sign.

On this day Tony and Vince fixed the satellite TV at work. We had a joke around the office that you could fix anything with a level and a piece of string so we set out to use this method to fix the satellite alignment. It didn't work but we got it fixed using other tools.

One A Day - On This Day in 2004

Irvine CA Point of View Inc.

On this day in 2004 we were doing a video shoot for a video game we were making. we wanted to splash the screen with "vomit" at a certain point in the game and so we decided to shoot fake vomit against a piece of plexi-glass with a green screen behind it. It worked pretty well but we didn't end up using it or even shipping the game for that matter. Here is me with an accordion like container with fake vomit in it. I was going to shoot it through a small hole in a green screen.



Here is the aftermath of one of the shots.


Tony, Steve and Jesse discuss how to make the effect better.

Take 2. this one needs to fill the screen!



Brian likes the method behind the madness


Here I am excited about a successful "vomit"

One A Day - On This Day in 2002

Irvine CA The Irvine Spectrum


On this day in 2002 The Scorpion King was on the shelves. It was our first original game. It had it's flaws but we worked hard and met our goal so we went to The Irvine Spectrum to celebrate by looking at it on the shelves and going to lunch.

Here we are pooring into the game store to see our accomplishment

Here we are at Dave and Busters. It was a fun tradition to all go to lunch on the day the game appeared in stores. I wasn't able to carry this tradition on at LucasArts. The teams were too big, I didn't have a budget and people tend to get let go after a game is done and before it is on the shelves. I am hoping to carry this tradition on the next place I work.

On this day in 2002 The Dart was loaded with boards. We had just gotten back from surfing before work and I decided to snap a shot with the doors and trunk open. It was a fun car but I don't miss the "I'm going to die in a car accident" feeling I got when I drove it.

Costa Mesa CA Wing Nuts

On this day in 2003 we were celebrating MiMi's first last day at Point of View. It was fun. These types of pictures aren't the ones where you say wow...... unless you are in them. This was a close knit group of guys working 7 days a week on a project and now they are all spread out over the world. I miss you all.

On this day in 2005 we brought Paul Darden in for a voice over session. Paul is on the right. He is a somewhat famous poker player. John and Paul were discussing something on the couch in my office as I listened on from my desk and also took this photo.

On this day in 2003 we checked out the new office POV was moving to. It was actually the old EA Irvine building. The 3rd floor wasn't finished out when they left it for EA LA so we planned on making it our own. We ended up making it our own storage facility and workout area and it never got finished.

On this day we decorated our Howard Lederer sign with stuff. He is wearing a Krispy Kreme hat and eating Fatburger Fries. The following day he was sporting a sign that said, "I'm all in for fried foods."

On this day in 2004 we used a Storage Drive as a caster. It worked rather well and I am sure the BBQ was yummy.

One A Day - On This Day in 2006

Irvine CA Point of View


On this day in 2006 we were finishing up a poker video game. This is an awesome set up that allowed us to test a 6-12 players at once. Our game supported tournaments with up to 24 players (if memory serves) and we were able to test 12 players on our end and then we had a large group of testers at Crave helping us out on their end. It was a lot of fun. In the photo Jon is testing a PSP connectivity issue.
