Chris Avellone at the e-Services 2009

My gamer geek alter ego is all giddy with excitement! Chris Avellone, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Obsidian Entertainment, is going to be the first talk during the second day of the e-Services Conference at the SMX Convention Center (beside the SM Mall of Asia).

A BIG thank you and ALL musical credit goes to the a cappella comedy group Moosebutter (from Provo, UT), who greatly assisted me in the making of this video and memorizing their brilliant song "Star Wars" from their 2002 album 'see dee'. This video was done with their blessing and their support. Check out their website here:

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! =D
