I started in the game industry way back in 2003 when I worked for Blizzard with a very early, unreleased version of World of Warcraft. I'll admit, there were times I was asked to send in a list of potential names for items to try and make my personal mark in the World of Warcraft. At the time, I was excited to do it, but I ended up being lazy and just spaced it.
Still, I would have loved to see items in the game that I could have named myself.
As I moved on in the game industry, I noticed many of my friends had created their likeness in game…a very personalized Easter Egg that few people would ever know. This wasn't just for World of Warcraft, it was for other games as well. They were making their mark, why wasn't I?

This non-playable character (NPC) is named after a real Quality Assurance employee at Blizzard |
I mean, who wouldn't want their likeness in a game?
And while I've had chances, I felt like I didn't need to. The excitement of just being in the game industry was awesome enough. Maybe someone would think I'm cool enough to model me and just place me in a game.
Well that time (I think) has come.
Next week, Titanfall releases for XBox One and PC…and soon thereafter for XBox 360.
In Titanfall, there are currently 2 factions: The Militia and the corporate conglomerate IMC. Introduced so far from these factions are 6 characters. The Militia has the leader MacAllan, intel specialist and engineer Bish, and Marauder Corps leader Sarah. The IMC has Frontier operations commander-in-chief Vice Admiral Graves, intel specialist Blisk, and artificial intelligence companion Spyglass.
From what people have said about the game, apparently I look like the Bish character. What do you think?

I swear, someone at Respawn Entertainment used me as a template for this guy... |
I'll be honest, I think this is kinda cool. There are theories that this character is modeled after another guy: Markman, from Madcatz.

Does this guy look like Bish? |
What do you think?
