BioWare hires SWTOR fansite owner
Running a successful fansite usually doesn't mean you'll be hired at your favorite gaming company. But given the evidence presented by BioWare, we wonder whether those words of wisdom still hold true. Joining Brandon Miletta, formerly of TOROcast, and Brooks Guthrie, formerly of Mos Eisley Radio, is Ken Hinxman, formerly of TOR Syndicate. Most visitors to the Star Wars: The Old Republic portal site will know Hinxman as Vall. Yesterday, Hinxman announced via his twitter account, "First day at the new job at BioWare Austin was great! Thank you all for the kind words," indicating that he had been hired to work at the game development company. After speaking to some friends of Hinxman, we discovered that he had originally applied for a community management position, but BioWare liked his web-related work so much that the company decided to place him in web Q&A. The staff at Massively would like to extend its congratulations to Vall and wish him the best of luck at his new job.
SWTOR fans gather in droves for PAX East
Although I doubt it has Blue Milk, the Times Irish Bar does have a nice cold beer, or at least the Star Wars: The Old Republic fans hope so when they visit during PAX East. The event hasn't even started, but you can almost hear Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes tuning up now for the SWTOR Community Cantina. What is the SWTOR Community Cantina, you ask? I'm surprised you don't know. Fansites, Massively, and just plain-old SWTOR fans have decided that one gathering just wasn't enough for a game as epic as SWTOR. Do any of these names seems familiar to you -- Pete, Dover, Orionark, Musco, Samm, Brooks, Zach, Lordhammer, Vall, Lethality, Kathy, and Roxanne? Maybe you're more familiar with the fansites they represent: Darth Hater, TOROcast, Mos Eisley Radio, TORSyndicate, AskAJedi, and Corellian Run Radio. If you're just dying to meet any of these people or are a fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic, come to Boston's Times Irish Bar during PAX East on March 11th at 7:00 p.m. EST for the SWTOR Community Cantina. While you're there, you can give me a high-five, too. We can party like it's 4,000 BBY!
