I was thumbing through this month's "Pocket Games" magazine (might be last month's issue by now), and there was an article about a software developer which featured a group photo of all of the company's employees. I could SWEAR that I see our very own Raccoon Lad right near the front of the pic. Anyone have a copy of the magazine that they could scan? No way a DP member ets their pic in a magazine without getting called out on it! If it is RL, let's give him some props!

OK I went back to the store and looked at the magazine again. It is still on the news stands, and features Metal Gear Acid 2 on the cover. The company is called "Backbone", who I believe developed Death Jr. for the PSP. The person in question is right near the front, second person from the right, wearing a maroon t-shirt. If that isn't Racoon Lad, then I must just be nuts.

Hmm. I just looked at the credits for Death Jr. on MobyGames, and it doesn't say anything about him working on that game. But it makes sense that he would be in the picture, considering that he mainly works on handheld games.

My opinion? You probably weren't imagining things.

EDIT: Did the magazine mention at all who was in the picture? (by job, name, etc.)

No, it's a huge group picture. At least 30 people, so no names.

Lol, I forgot 'ol Laddy works in the biz now....can't say I recall seeing many posts from him lately. Or maybe I've just been in the wrong threads?

Yeah, that awkward weirdo in the maroon shirt up front is me.

I've been in the 'biz' for over 5 years now, but only at Digital Eclipse for 2 1/2+ years.

Still can't imagine why they wanted to take our group photo in most cramped place at our studios. Seriously, only about a third of the people who were at work that day even got in the pic.
