One A Day - On This Day in 2003

Newport Beach CA The Goathill Tavern

On this day I was at The Goat with some work friends and clients. One of the guys I was with was impressed with the number of taps. It's a cool place. You should go.

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.

Costa Mesa CA Wing Nuts

On this day in 2003 Tony got hot sauce in his eye (I think). If that is what happened it was funny and we all laughed and Tony was fine in the end. If that's not what happened Tony probably had salt in his eye from surfing that morning with me. Oh the good old days......

Irvine CA Point of View Inc.

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.

Newport Beach CA

On this day in 2003 we brought home our little Larry. He is the shy one in back. He has since come out of his shell and is a huge part of our family. He and Tom are the best of friends.

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.

Irvine CA Curry House

On this day in 2003 The Curry House was having a contest. They asked that we submit a Curry Smile photo. I'm not exactly sure what a Curry Smile is but I took a photo of what I thought it was.



Chuck is showing off his famous Curry Smile while Chang looks at something more intersting.

Las Vegas NV The Hard Rock Hotel

On this day in 2003 we were having breakfast at the Hard Rock Casino and then heading home. It was bittersweet. Breakfast in Vegas is always great, leaving Las Vegas usually sucks. I don't think I have ever stayed in Vegas too long. This is a shot of a Low Rider Bike at The Pink Taco. We like eating breakfast at Lucky's Cafe.

Las Vegas NV Classic Gaming Expo

On this day in 2003 Donna and I were still in Las Vegas. They had a classic gaming museum with a lot of cool stuff to look at. Out of all of the cool things I chose to post a picture of an Asteroids costume... This piece of history just shows how big video games were back then. Asteroids was so popular that some kid wanted to dress up as an asteroid for Halloween. Not the guy in the space ship shooting the asteroids, not the triangular space ship (which is arguably the star of the game) but the asteroid. Here's your candy crater face.

Las Vegas NV Classic Gaming Expo


On this day in 2003 Donna and I were at the Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. It is one of my favorite conventions. There are many things to buy, many games to play and lots of famous people to see (well famous to me). In this photo you can see a bearded man. His name is Billy Mitchell and he is the best Pac-Man player in the world and once of the best Donkey Kong players in the world. Remember his perfect beard because there will be another post featuring him this month but it will be from the future (at least compared to when this was taken).

Los Angles CA Salami Sound Studios

On this day in 2003 I took my picture with Bender (John DiMaggio). He did a few voices for our Spawn game. It was fun to meet him and talk to him. He was pretty much exactly what you would expect from the voice of Bender.

Irvine CA

On this day I saw one of the worst limos ever. Terrible! Now if they had stretched a Dodge Dart and added flames that would be a different story.

Irvine CA The Future Home of Point of View Inc.

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.
