EA tour day

Today we got to go check out the amazing huge complex at EA. Jade and I got a bit lost finding the main entrance but two guys on their coffee break directed us in the right way. Walked in and there was our teacher, Rupert. The lobby was by far the largest and smanciest of all the studios I've been to date. Large TVs with game trailers playing. A 360 TV in the middle.

Around 2 we met our guide from HR, Sarah. She gave us our name tags and took us into a theater for a presentation by one of their programmers. Gave us a great talk about all the different types of positions they have and some of the various projects they do. Also a clip of the rick Mercer report where he came to EA and got a tour and did some motion capture. That was hilarious.

The tour afterwards was awesome. Such a huge complex. Soccer field, full gym, theaters, four "themed " levels. Pixels on one floor, waves for motion on another, and wide open windows on the top for light. So many cool things. Dry cleaning and a barber. They really want you to enjoy your trip.
