My name is Justin, and I’m a mobile gamer.

“Hi Justin,” they all chime in unison. 

“I started playing mobile games casually – a little Angry Birds to get a little gaming fix in a life busy with work, kids, etc.  That morphed into spending time on the app store actively looking for something new.  Before I knew it, I was showing up 30 minutes early to meetings to ensure that I’d have some time to play while I wait, and even locking myself in the bathroom several times a day just to level up on EA High Caliber Hunting.”

     I had always had a love for the gaming industry and have been a member of its communities for as long as I can remember, but coming out of high school I found myself asking "What the heck do I do now?" Luckily before I was too lost, I grabbed an intern position down here at MetaXpert. Coming into the industry I was exposed to a lot of new things and was put on many different tasks varying in community work, development, and some coding and scripting. I've learned a lot since I started and I've made new friends as well, I have some amazing coworkers who are productive and very unique individuals that make each day enjoyable. The office is pleasant to work in and no matter how many new additions we get to the team everyone is very connected and helpful to each other. This makes the work community seem like a loving family were people will go out of their way to help you solve problems and learn from your mistakes and successes.

I love the experience I have had so far and can't wait to see what the future holds for me.

Ya'll should check out our friend Xfire within the next 3 days and enter their War Inc. contest. 

War Inc. is a fairly fun to play third person shooter that is completely PVP or PVC. You can level up and have a few classes to play as, my favorite being the sniper. The way that you acquire new weapons is through a rent type of system. Basically you rent the item for however much you want to pay, or pay a hefty fine to keep it. That's a little annoying, but the game itself is actually pretty worth it especially considering the fact that it is free.

If you do play in this contest you can win a $700 dollar graphic card and 2500 game dollars, second place gets a $350 game card and 2000 game dollars. That's some pretty cool stuff so it's definitely worth a shot.

Thanks Xfire for the chance to win such kick A prizes. 

     The concept of Halo Anniversary is really excited for classic halo fans like me, allowing us to get that experience and feeling that we got from playing Halo Combat Evolved. With 343 Industries adopting Halo from Bungie, I am a little worried that Halo will not feel the same as it does from Bungie, but at least I know that even though 343 is working on Anniversary it will still be the same as classic Bungie Halo CE.

Notch just let out an interesting bit of information regarding raising the height that blocks are generated to. Also in a post showing this higher land generation a small new piece of UI was shown at the bottom of the picture.

In the UI there is a new bar that resembles an experience bar and a bar showing drum sticks (perhaps a leveling system and easier healing system?). Anyway aside from the little hint at 1.8 Adventure Update below is a copy of Notch's post on his blog.
