We share a birthday? Cool! Would you like some cake?
It's chocolate cake too

We'd all agree that anyone playing pen-and-paper RPGs as a kid as already been making games, as far as an imaginative pastime. You've graduated to publishing them. Congrats!

Technically, Matt isn't a publisher. Positron has graduated from designing games to having lots of meetings about designing games.

Happy Birthday, good sir! Keep up the fine work.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
Happy B Day Matt!
Hope you keep working for videogames for at least 20 years more.
Would be cool to play your new MMO World of Heroes 2031

Oh, and Hippy Bird Day, Posi.
I hope you have a tweet day.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

Hey, I think this calls for story time: what was it like to get your first job in the video game industry? What were the circumstances that led to that job and how did you feel about getting it? Looking back, what do you think are the most important things you learned from it?|

Well hey, I've been playing your games for 7/20ths of your career. Think about that for a moment - there are people that have been playing a game you're working on for almost half of your career. |
