I know these are trying times for many of us in the industry and it gives me great pleasure to share this little bit of good news, no matter how small.
It's looking like I will be joining the fine folks at Bedlam Games in Toronto as a Character artist.

I sincerely hope that many talented guys and gals in this industry bounce back from the dreadful season of layoffs and studio closings.
There's hope out there!

Real classy, adam.
Grats fuse!
How about "congrats mr Fuse, well deserved!".
Weoppp big congrats to you fuse, I'm happy you found a job man
I'm serious, I want to know the kinds of games they make and am too lazy to google this myself.
As well, congrats fuse. I made my first post with haste and you truly deserve the congratulations on landing the gig!
Just like to throw this up, it would be nice if you took your own advice :thumbup:
Congrats on the job bedlam seems like an awesome place to work.
Next time I am in Toronto: group fist fights. You guys can have first punches though since I forgot to follow concrete forum rules of 'say congrats first then shut the fuck up.'
EDIT: For those wondering - Scratch DJ and other AAA titles. I'm from Toronto and love to hear what developers are up to out there
Adam and I go a while back so we can all settle down and have group hugs !
And yeah like Adam already mentioned they are working on scratch and a couple of other pretty neat things I can't talk about
Adam: google search fail
I love these "I got job" threads.
I'm video taping this.
And Congrats sir!
Awesome, congrats, good to hear!!
Congrats with the job dude!
Congrats!
Have they released anything yet?
If not than you must know that there are alot of underground groupies trying to make their "game studio" work.
If they are paying you than it must be something they wish to achieve (means things may workout as you expect). So be careful of their slacking and so on, because if their project(s) die off and they decide that its too much work for them to deal with, you maybe left out and may have to find other things.
Save your work, like whatever you do in this company so you can prove your experience for real companies also. For example: UBI soft are also opening their branch in Toronto so chances are, they would require alot of artists and programmers.
In the add, Congrats again.
Good luck.
watching porn while making your art.
Ehm... What?
~ Dude. Just... wow.
I have no words to describe my thought pattern when trying to read this.
hmm, perhaps I'll try to rephrase it to some pattern of English you can understand
Congrats Fuse!

@ Nitewalkr, they seem like a well established up-and-coming studio so there's probably no need to worry.
Congrats Fuse! Let the good times roll.
Gratz man.

...I'm more confused about what Nitewalkr said.
aaahahahaha, sometimes I really wonder if anyone of you speak or read English at all. No seriously I laugh while I wonder.
I mean Pankake seemed to understand what I really meant, and I believe that many others have understood my point as well.
Perhaps if I speak American, maybe this behavior changes? Perhaps?
tu rezolb ur con-foozon, I'll simply take sum txt, from Andreas's quote:
so I sed! mny ppl maak groopz n say "less make games" n aks othah ppl to joined theer gropez! Bot teh phail n die.
-.-
Happy now? Now this is in simple American, Not English.
Enjoy reading it.:)
No offense to anyone here.
and Grats Fuse again!
I can feel negativity, annoyance and a slight anger in your speech. XD
But dude, it doesn't matter...because it's all about OP =]
Also again congrats fuse.
No actually I was being serious about "laugh and wonder" I know all this suppose to tick me off terribly.
but it just makes me laugh even more
anyways back to the OT
You down wit OP?
Yeah you know me!
You kids and your... rap? XD
I shall have you know I was only referring to the 'Original Poster' when I uttered the term 'OP'. I stand bewildered and shocked at your reply.

ya you slackers
