Ok, I'm sure not everyone in Blizzard has access to certain things... I mean if you're a janitor i'm sure you won't have the code to the safe... oO


So if Gear is working as the website engineer, I'm sure he won't have random files of battle reports on his computer... I'm sure he'll get to watch em... and play HELLA SC2 in his free time... but he won't have the actual files...

So if something leaks... the person in possesion of those files will be questioned...

Like if BR4 leaked and only DKim, Matt Cooper and Dustin had that file on their comps... do you think they would suspect me? (the janitor)


ok, so you're an *******. got it.


Anyways, we are all happy for you Gear and I'm glad there is some exciting media in development. It's not surprising at all that they hired you. Creating the SC2A then getting a job a Blizzard, man, you should write a book called "How to Work for Blizzard" for all the kids who want what you've got.

And don't half-jokingly ask him to leak stuff, it's just ****ing annoying

Well the main reason most people don't leak is that they would like to keep their job and benefits, especially at Blizzard.

For example in my case, if someone were to leak a new game, it would either be the actual dev team, or the web team (cause we build the site). Other employees dont know what they games are till actual announcement.

Congratulations Miles. I know that you wanted that job for a while now and I am happy for you that you finally landed it.

It will probably be an awesome experience no doubt about it. and the benefits. Ah I can just imagine all the good things in your coming future. ^^

If this job is gonna make you more busy and you won't have as much time to work on it as before then we are sure to miss ya. Be sure to check in from time to time. =D

And really I must say that I am overjoyed for you. You have earned your position there. Good luck, Miles and have fun. =)

Lol to be honest I think you shouldn't have told us... haha

And now since you did, you DEFINITELY shouldn't leak ANYTHING!!!

Cuz people will run their mouth and you'll get fired! "/


Everyone else:
Gears job used to be to give us AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE!

Now it's his job to keep as many secrets from us as possible! (Besides the official released info that he'll be sticking online...)





Speaking of which... Gear... You should just tell them to turn this website into OFFICIAL SC2 WEBSITE! ^^

Then you can pimp this **** out and still be active! xD 2 birds w/ one stone!

I mean the official site is like abandoned anyway... xP

Congratulations Miles for your new awsome job.. Have a interesting and your new exhausting career.. At least we'll know that the Armory's gonna be the least up-to-date Blizzard fansite.. ))

Congratulations, Miles. I am very happy that you managed to get the job, especially since the competition for spots in Blizzard must be very high. I hope the work you have done on the Armory helped Blizzard realise your excellent talent.

Hopefully, you will still have time to show up on the Armory, especially when the banhammer is needed.

Gear, is the Armory going to get less attention? Just wondering regarding some other posts.
