Well since the following link is public domain I figure there are no industry secrets embedded here and figured I would share. I will keep it vague as far as who is mentioned in the link for those who don't want to find out the truths about Bigfoot, the Tooth Fairy, or other figments of the imagination. Again just something I found and will leave it at that, but those who read it and get it....will more than likely understand.

For those who can't get to the site.....

Well then!
Thank you SETH for my sleepless nights and my VMK addicted days.
:surfweb:
At least now I know who to Sue! :lmao:
 
what is "open to interpretation" here? Alot of these things are simple facts about a persons career. Yavn (Seth) has always been the VMK producer, this is nothing new.
 

Not anything really shocking there. 90% of us realized he wasnt directly involved with VMK anymore. Good info tho :thumbsup2
 
Yeah, to Aengus' point nothing too new here news wise, but worth the share as I haven't seen it before.

Like everything in the tech industry....you make your mark, move on to the next thing....tackle that challenge....repeat.

I guess if anything it is good to see he is still working for the Mouse. Maybe the higher up he goes he will be a driving force behind Kingdom Hearts for the Wii...especially remembering how big of a Wii fan he was, or still is.

OMG! Yavn's a REAL person? Someone actually CREATED VMK?








Have a problem with my sarcasm? Hey, I've been sarcastic since 2006. That ain't changin' anytime soon.

yes, lets face it he is good at what he does. Look at the list of accomplishments. He obviously is highly regarded by the mouse. He is involved in their next thing is all. As long as he is still around Disney they will let him log in and keep the legend alive :)
 
i found a pick of him in real.
he looks a bit like aengus...
i wonder?
 
yeah, he looks a bit like he did when he saw Ink that 1 time.

or those pics were before he did.
 
I see everyone is "Googling" tonight. You need to check out the VMK patent if you haven't found that one yet....definitely a fun read.
