Byte56♦ (moderator)

I'm Michael House, I work full time at a big software company, when I'm not doing that I'm developing games and teaching game development. You can follow me on twitter.

I've created a course with Lynda.com to teach advanced scripting with the Unity 3D engine, check it out! Have a 10-day free trial to Lynda.com to watch my course and many others
