			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quarantine: The Game is live!<br />
Play it now at <a href="http://www.quarantinethegame.com">www.QuarantineTheGame.com</a></p>
<p>This is what I&#8217;ve been doing for the past 7-8 months or so at work. I Designed the game and Art Directed a team that grew to about 20 people, who all contributed to building it and making it what it is today. The game was made to promote the film Quarantine, which will be in a theater near you on October 10. Here is what the film is about.</p>
<blockquote><p>Television reporter Angela Vidal and her cameraman are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew’s videotape.</p></blockquote>
<p>(You can check out the latest trailer for the film at <a href="http://www.containthetruth.com">www.ContainTheTruth.com</a>)</p>
<p>The game is intended to be very similar to the movie. We tried to mimic as much as we could the look and style of the film. Back in January we got the opportunity to visit the set and take photos and video footage for reference. We also ended up getting the blue prints that were used to build the sets. We used all that to get the detail and look of the game just right. We designed, modeled, animated, textured, lit, rendered and coded everything that you see in the game. Everything was done, from scratch, by us at Imageworks Interactive.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really proud of all the hard work and dedication that everyone on the team put into the project and I think they all did an amazing job. Take a look for yourself. <a href="http://www.quarantinethegame.com">Play the game</a> and pass it along to others. Let me know what you think.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the launch of the site, which I also Art Directed and Designed, in early August.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I woke up and had to go to the bathroom, as usual. Draw, our little kitten, was running around all excited to see someone again, also as usual. So I go to the bathroom and just before I am able to flush the toilet I hear a &#8220;splash&#8221; followed by a &#8220;RRReeOooWWWW&#8221; sound. I look down and Draw had jumped into the pee filled toilet and was splashing around in there trying to get out! I quickly grabbed him out of there and then put him into the bath tub to clean him off. I had never given a cat a bath before so I was expecting a huge struggle, and lots of claws and teeth marks all over my arms. Surprisingly Draw was totally calm and didn&#8217;t seem to mind the bath at all! He didn&#8217;t even move the entire time, just let me clean him up. </p>
<p>So, that was my morning. Good times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took a really High Resolution macro photo of my beard last weekend. Just for fun. I thought it looked pretty creepy and interesting all blown up like that. The individual hairs almost look like tentacles or tendrils or something like that. I made it the desktop picture on my laptop and Margaret freaked out when she saw it. <img src='http://wesbiffar.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  She had the idea of making it available on my blog for other people to download. So here it is. Enjoy!!</p>
<p>Just click on the thumbnail below to view the full-sized image and then download it to your desktop.</p>
