I don't at the moment, and it appears the new incarnation of WizKids will be in New Jersey, which makes me highly suspicious because I think New Jersey doesn't actually exist and that thing across the Hudson river you see from Manhattan is actually just a mirror that Pennsylvania put there to make New Yorkers feel more smug.

hyper rep.

That is amazing! I think the same about Canada! I don't think that paradise (but FROZE) country exist!

Question: Why do the seagulls fly upside down in new jersey?

Answer: Because they can't find anything worth crapping on.

This reminds me of my second favorite joke as a kid.

Question: Why do elephants lie on their backs with their feet sticking straight up?

Answer: So they can trip birds!

What exactly is "Bangers & Mash"? Why do they call it Piccadilly Circus if it isn't a circus? Do you get US holidays off as well as UK holidays or just UK holidays?

Sausages and mashed potatoes.
Circus is Latin for 'circle,' and Picadilly used to be a roundabout.
Sadly no, but I get way more holiday time than I did in America.

Heh, as a former envoy for a small store here in Nashville, I can say that you were always a class act in the forums when even the envoys were squabbling like spoiled players over the latest rules debacle :D. Glad to see that you still have love for the Clix and the community after all this time, and glad to see that you're still a consummate professional. Good luck in the new position, and hope to hear more good stories in the future. Cheers!

great interview theLe. as a former Heroclix Judge in Ohio I had the honor of meeting Brother Magneto while helping running heroclix tourneys at several conventions

I always considered him the face of wizkids and our inside man for heroclix, thou I felt bad for him when is took the brunt of the unfortunate errors.

I was greatly sadden when he was let go and the Envoy Appreciation nights were never the same with him gone thou the game did go on.

a very enjoyable interview from just an awesome person

Heroclix...

Heroclix?

I remember the name from somewhere, but i can't quite place it...

I think it may have been the name of my childhood sled.

you have always done a good job at PR and where honest to the fanbase Brothermagneto !!

I wonder what occurred that this particular website is now censored.

Did the tuttle interview ever happen? I have searched both sites and can't seem to find it....

I did the interviews for Seth and Jason Mical.

I started an interview with Tuttle, but it was never finished because he became too busy with his work at Sony Entertainment. Here's a snippet of what I got out of him:

The Le: How did you get started in the gaming business?

Tuttle: I spent a long time working in Radio starting in the late 80's, and one of the things that you used to hear a lot from the Radio stars of the 50's and 60's is that they got their start by "sweeping the floors until they got their big break". That's sort of what happened to me with gaming. I started playing back in Jr. High with the Steve Jackson games and then discovered Dungeons and Dragons (which I purchased exactly one printing too late).

A buddy of mine and I used to play this miniatures combat game called Melee and we thought it was a blast. After I moved to Cleveland, I sort of lost touch with gaming for a while until I was introduced to Magic the Gathering (Alpha). That got me started on the Star Trek Customizable Card Game. I'm getting around to the sweeping the floor part, honest. Back then, the Internet consisted of America Online and I was doing rules questions on my own.

Decipher noticed, offered me a job to help with the creation of the Star Wars Collectible Card Game and that's how I got into hobby gaming as a pseudo-profession. Proof that passion does pay off! After several years of part time, then full time with Decipher, I got an offer to move across the country to WizKids. I spent a year in Sales and then moved over into Brand taking on the Clix products.

I ended up leaving WizKids because the family really didn't like Seattle (we really did dislike the weather there) and wanted to go someplace nicer. A friend of mine told me about the opening at Sony and it was apparently a good fit.

I haven't heard from him since October of 2009. Guess I'll need to ping him again and see if we can pick up where we left off....
