So I got a good friend from college who has been working at EA Los Angeles for the last 7 years. Unfortunately he is one of the few, the proud, the soon-to-be-laid-off as he is part of the Command & Conquer team. They are getting released at the end of February when the latest installment of that franchise ships. Thankfully, I was able to arrange a visit during my trip out there last week.
