No, he did not make the model. That individual lives in Australia. Rally is a Yankee, born and bred.
That I am. Born in the random weather capital of the world.....Michigan. This past March was perfect proof....70s one week, 30s with snow the next.
And school went well. Finally starting to branch out and not restrict myself to just print journalism and branching out with taking a broadcast class on the off chance I can hit podcasting or radio if the print-based stuff doesn't work out. Top that off with only having about a year....year and a half tops....left till graduation, and I'm ecstatic. Sadly I'm still not sure what I'm gunna end up doing if I don't get into a full-time job with a video gaming publication like I want, but I have little doubt I can find something around home if needs be (would ideally love to stay near home anyways).
As for the Madden writing, it's going great. We combined with another site, to form a new and improved www.operationsports.com that's really going strong. We've got their news side of things and our editorial content that's really taken off since the merger. I've still been given all the free range I want within the sports gaming topic, though due to lack of time (trying to go to school and still work enough to pay off my 2007 Dodge Caliber as well as school at around $3500 a semester) I haven't been taking part in their podcast which has been mighty disappointing.
Oh, and Skink, I was one who was talking about a video game idea for Starfist when Eric was ironing out the movie screenplay.
