I thought there was a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit running away from police by breaking into our gated community and climbing this tree.

Runaway prisoner?

Then I realized it was just a landscaper trimming branches and was a lot less excited

Soma recently joined Tempo Storm as our new Chief Creative Officer. He was in the Southern California area, so we met up with a group of Tempo Storm staff members and got dinner.

I was hoping to get some decent vlog footage from this, but this was a restaurant inside a hotel and the lighting was so bad that it didn’t really work out.

I haven’t really been posting much lately because I’ve been trying to recover from being out and about for over a month. I’ve historically been someone to sit peacefully at home doing an office-like job and not going out and about a lot, so being at consecutive events and conventions with constant human interaction seems to have been a lot more taxing than I thought it would be.

I don’t really have any photos from BlizzCon

For me, BlizzCon is generally a scramble to get editorial work done as quickly as possible. Tempo Storm’s attendance at BlizzCon depends heavily on the quantity and quality of BlizzCon coverage from the previous year(s), so having sufficient good content up in a timely manner is important, not just for now, but for future convention years.

So, I usually end up spending a majority of my time attending offline panels, sitting in the media room uploading, then recharging in my hotel room. As a result, I didn’t really have many photos taken.

I do have one from when Tempo Storm’s Heroes of the Storm team was playing against Fnatic in the third game of a best-of-three series. Tempo Storm HotS had taken a game off Fnatic, but were in the process of getting reverse swept. I tweeted the photo out with the caption “pls no lose,” but my hopes didn’t come true, because this was the game after which Tempo Storm got eliminated.

However, I’m happy to announce that the convention grind is finally over. I almost had to extend my grind by accompanying our PLAYER­UNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS team to a boot camp in Santa Monica, CA, then to Intel Extreme Masters in Oakland, but luckily, our house manager was able to cover for me for that, so I finally get to relax.

Now it’s finally time to unwind for a bit, recover from over a month of field work (which I am very not used to, seeing as I usually just work peacefully from my desk), and catch up on everything I’ve missed over the past month.
