Dreams Realized

Anyone who knows Scott knows that one of his dreams is to help design video games. And anyone who knows him knows the video game industry needs him. He is so creative, an excellent artist, and he looks at video games the way some people look at art. He sees every part as a separate element, and can tell you just about anything about any video game.

This week he reached a milestone in that dream. For the past 4 months Scott has been working for Activision in the Technical Requirements Group (if you want to know what that is, ask him. It's a good job but not super exciting). His group has been working on Modern Warfare 3, which was released this week. If you happened to be one of the 6.5 million people who bought the game (in the first day alone) you can look at the credits and see:

"Scott Smith"!! Yes, it is a very common name, but this is referring to Scott Michael Smith of Lakewood, California. This may not be quite his dream of designing games and characters for games, but it is one step toward that dream, and I know that one day he'll be there. We are all so proud of Scott!
