Steven Seybold Portfolio Site

Welcome to Infected Media, the portfolio site of Steven Seybold, Art Director and Designer.

At some point in history, someone decided that the very thing taking over children's lives could be re-engineered for educational purposes, and for kids of my generation -- the so-called Nintendo Generation -- this meant being whisked away to the computer lab once a week to play games designed by people more interested in explicit education than anything remotely close to entertainment.

Amazon is all about bargains for the holiday season and it's catalog of video games is no exception. I found today Dragon Age by Bioware for $39.82, which is over $20 off! Additionally, I was able to find great deals on Uncharted 2 among other games as well. If you are a gamer, today might be the day to shop for yourself. You've been good this year, right? Get going.

Pandemic Studios Says Goodbye
Posted 11/24/09
Last week Electronic Arts put a bullet in the head of Pandemic Studios, putting many of their 200 staff out of work a week before Thanksgiving. Today Pandemic ex-staffers let EA know how they feel.
