Yeah, we SCEA guys get the shortest stick of the group, but it is getting
better... slowly (if you really want something to complain about, check
out SCEI, where they have contests to fully develop their games in their
own offices at Sony).  But check out our weekly chats, Mario shows up
almost every week  He is currently working on the new auditorium class,
for which they recently updated the auditorium's software to a new
version.
