I held the job for a very short time. From 2004-2005. I talked with Licensing a lot, and helped game teams navigate feedback and avoid no-go areas, while also giving occasional ideas for places they could explore more.

YOU THERE! We bet you love pottery. Would you like to make pots and then battle with other pots?

You do? Great!🏺πŸ’₯🏺

Get fired up for the throwdown in ATHENA, the first map we're showing off in Kiln! Start strategizing, then tell us what part looks the most fun!

Content Supervisor? Now that's a job I haven't heard in a long time... a long time.
I was the liasion between Lucasfilm Licensing and all the game teams (both internal and external.) It was an awesome job. As we ramped up in 2005, I got to show the rough cut of Ep 3 to devs, among other things

A photo of Ginny Di standing in front of a castle, holding a barn owl on a falconer's glove. Superimposed on the image is boxed text that reads "If I disappear for a few hours it's because I started researching medieval falconry for a joke and now I know too much."

Did you know falconry was one of few medieval sports that both men & women were welcome to participate in? Peregrine falcons were a popular bird for ladies because they're small. Also, they apparently hunt by PUNCHING OTHER BIRDS OUT OF THE SKY WITH THEIR CLOSED FISTS.

Sometimes I think I'm in love with Kate Beckinsale, and then I'm like-- no, my floors just couldn't take it.

My guess is that current games industry turmoil is the result of 3 factors:
1.) the "new console" eco-system hit by asteroid
2.) fantasizing with billions about a genre that could not expand
3.) fail-upwards exec trajectories

at one point, I contacted them to help improve their search and writer evaluation process-- and I heard nothing back. They don't wanna change. πŸ˜”

Movies and tech industry have been taken over by MBAs who only know how to grow business-- not create & foster new ideas. But there's only so far you can go recycling old IP. They're now realizing this and panicking.

A character named Charlotte. A vampire. One eye is red, the other is pinkβ€”the pink one is a prosthetic. Her hair is black with hidden gray coloring. Her lips are red. She’s wearing a voluminous red dress, a red necklace, and a ruby earring. She is sitting on a sofa

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

We never established it explicitly, no. But it might be that Ka'Pa's hq is also on Katraasii. It would make sense that his 'rival' Takara might be living on the same planet.
