Research--W101 from the horses mouth

So tonight I got a wild hair and decided to do a little google research on Kingsisle employees and specifically what I could find out about what has been said from the horse's mouth.

There's also of course the now infamous 4-part series of the making of Wizard 101 on youtube that's a good watch:

And the kiwibox interview on youtube:

I'm sure there are more, so feel free to add to this list if you have a good link.

I also found the KingsIsle LinkedIn profile, which also lists a lot of cool heavy hitters for the company (including my favorite! -->points at Kiersten):

I found out a lot of things I didn't know about in that mini-research session, and I hope you will to! For instance, for some reason J. Todd Coleman reminds me of Matthew Perry. Haha! I think it might be the way he says, "magical" at the end of the first "The Making of Wizard 101" youtube and then pauses for a bit . . . smacks of Chandler Bing; meh, maybe it's just me. :-) Also, Tamir Nadav has some AMAZING hair--I'm not worthy. Tom Hall's chess and B&W photograph fascinations were interesting to read about as well.

These people at Kingsisle seem like a very genuine bunch . . . good people.

word.

Happy Dueling!
