Job: Programmer at Pandemic Studios http://www.pandemicstudios.com . [Note: in this, I am *NOT* speaking officially; I'm only speaking for myself.]

2/28/02: The game is done, and previews mentioning Pandemic have been available for quite a while. Thus, I guess I can say what I've been working on for the past 8+ months on: Triple Play 2002 for PS2 & XBox. Some previews:
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2840287,00.html
http://ps2.ign.com/previews/17371.html
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/0,10850,6014070,00.html
http://xbox.ign.com/articles/137/137375p1.html

[And probably others; those are just some links that have been passed around the office.] On this project, I headed up the XBox conversion.

As to what I'm working on now, what I can say is that on a personal level, I'm working on a new patch for BZ2 with Ken and Wil. See http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~bz2commproj/forum/forum.php?tf=pbz for some info, though the patch is currently with some private testers. Please don't bug me to get added to the list of testers, or ask "when will it be done." There will be a public beta eventually, but as this patch is being done outside of work hours, it's much harder to project a schedule.

And as to what I'm working on at Pandemic these days, once again this is a secret. :) I'd expect it to be unveiled at this year's E3 expo ( http://www.e3expo.com/ ) , but that's a gut feeling, not anything resembling a promise of that.
