Dead Space (the last game I worked on), took home Action Game of the Year (beating out Call of Duty: World at War, Far Cry 2, Gears of War 2, & Grand Theft Auto IV ) and Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design (beating out Fable II, Little Big Planet, Mirror’s Edge,  & Prince of Persia) at the 12th annual  Interactive Achievement Awards through DICE.

Represent!

You can watch a recording of it over on video.ign.com.

• You’ll probably have to install their custom video player (pretty easy).
• Then on the right side of the screen where it says “Video Playlist”, under ‘Dice 2009 > Recorded awards show’, click on ’12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards’.

Highlights:

• Dead Space joke in monologue at :23 min
• Art Direction nomination at :34 min
• Sound nomination and win at 1:20
• Action Game Of The Year win at 1:34

Be warned, Jay Mohr says bad words…. 😛

I’ve been asked to speak at this years ‘Careers in Animation‘ via the local chapter of ASIAF (ASsociation Internationale du Film d’ Animation).

It’ll be a panel-discussion held at the Fine Arts Building’s Coppola Theater, at SF State, 11:am, Saturday March 21st.   Appears to be free to memebers.

It dawned on me today:  I’ll add lists on a regular basis (listC = listA + listB), but I don’t think I’ve ever ‘subtracted’ listA form listB.  A quick search didn’t come up with much (but I know it’s out there).  I came up with this method using list comprehensions:

listA = ["a","b"]
listB = ["b", "c"]
listC = [item for item in listB if item not in listA]
print listC
# ['c']

But there’s got to be an easier method?  Maybe using sets?

Posted on my Python Wiki too.
