phew... i read your edit... damn dude... don't go handin' out nut busters like that without some reassurance man... sheesh... i'm sure you'll find a great new home for you and the fam
Yeah there were quite a few of us. I don't want to mention any other names because I feel that is their business, but it was a good amount of very talented people.
Ouch, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that
How many in total got cut?
If anyone is interested in relocating overseas to the UK, Splash Damage are currently looking for an Environment Artist, Senior Environment Artist, Technical Artist, UI Artist and an Animator - I'm sure the id Tech experience most people from Raven have will look good to us if you apply.
Yea Wisconsin... I would get out in the next month or so. I spent two winters just north of Minneapolis. I don't think I'd sign up for that kind of punishment again.

Well, maybe global warming will make it a more hospitable place =P
Aww sorry to hear that Moody man, I was really hoping Raven wouldn't get hit so hard with all the awesome stuff you guys have been putting out . Good luck on the rebound.
Sorry man. There were a lot of people affected. All you recruiters out there, get your email fingers armed and ready - lots of good talent looking for work now.
Im also sorry to hear it man. At least you have a killer port and some good resume filler. Im sure you will get picked up pretty quick. Bad news for us outsiders tho... I sure hope I dont apply for any of the same positions your going for :P Friggin economy.

I'm making some calls to see if any studios I work with are hiring for env people. I'll hit you up on IM.

I'm not too worried about you good sir. You'll land on your feet in no time.
I've heard stories about how hard you guys had been working over there. Really lame that layoffs ended up happening.
Anyway, One door closing for another to open you know? Take it easy and best of luck.
I'm sure you'll find a new gig soon, creating something suitably awesome!

Anyway yeah, sorry to hear it, but warmer climate just before winter sounds pretty nice.

No Tai is good to go.
Good luck tho, welcome to my world. I've been unemployed for 7 months :P
