About Me

Hello. This is Bryson here. To the left is a picture of what I looked like in 2002 when I had to wake up early in the morning and drive to Westwood to get a passporte photo taken.
I already know what you're thinking. It's not like me to up and flee the country. Don't worry, I never ended up getting a passporte that year. I had to travel with alternate forms of documentation. But that was a long time ago!
These days I do more than make video games for fun. I make them for a living! Oh joy, I get paid to make video games. Suddenly this kid with a passion is placed in a professional environment and is now seen as a creative genius. But nobody wants to acknowledge that, he's too good to be just out of school. Let's just let him do whatever he wants, he's gonna turn straw to gold no matter what.
When I'm not turning straw to gold I like to have fun. Go out and party. Drink. Laugh and look at fine ladies. Sip on a French Connection, make ya feel good. When times get hard I gotta pull out that card with a smiley face.
I've got an obsession with creativity (and freedom). I run a production team that produces games under my Sokay.net label. It's my passion. We've released a couple games so far, Thugjacker and LUV Tank. Internet strangers are loving our stuff so we must be doing something right. The future is bright with plans for more games, merchandising and shiet.
Above is a reel of my work. Click to play. Aren't I amazing?

My Interests

Eclectic

Creation. Game design, photography, raving/clubbing (d&b, trance, house, whatever), drinking, drawing, arguing, seeing new things, new perspectives, adventures, chill, dreaming, zoning out, laughing, sleeping at work, working in sleep, plotting/scheming, meeting new people, making money, getting sidetracked, making people smile. Living life.

I'd like to meet:

= sonofbryce

Jaymee Ong, haha. I stole my obsession with this idol from Roger. He "borrowed" her headshot from his internship and I begged him to get me one. I was ecstatic when I got my copy. I was planning to fold it up and put it in my wallet so I could go to clubs and bust out the crumpled up photograph and be like "This is my girlfriend Jaymee Ong. She spells it J-A-Y, look at the the spelling in the corner right there. Yeah, I know she's so hot, that's my favorite part about her. That's why we get along so well. She's doing a photoshoot in Thailand right now for the next issue of Maxim. I know... it's hard on me but my Benz has to get paid off somehow..." That would've surely impressed the ladies... but yeah. It might be nice to meet her.

Oh yeah! Let's not forget my obsession with...err...appreciation for Juliet Lima, the star of the Venezuelan telenovela Camaleona. I fell in love with the show because in every episode they found an excuse for her to dress up in a sexy disguise. You see, she's a secret agent. For whatever reason. I don't know why but that's not important! She does a good job at stopping the bad guys while winding up in predictable situations where she faces people that she's met in an alternate identity. Pure gold.

Rave on!

I admire many everyday people for being who they are. Strength takes form in so many different ways.

My heroes bring a smile to my face just by being themselves.
