Hey @AarynFlynn, I would like to point out the clear merits of opening a BioWare: Melbourne studio.

INDEED
Wait, what happened to Bioware Honolulu?
You know, as much as a Game Design studio in Hawai'i or Australia sounds good, I'd like one closer to home. Bioware LA !!!! (then gimme a job!!!! I can programz!)
Wait, what happened to Bioware Honolulu?
... Why not both? 
But personally I think they should move out to the coast. Bioware: Vancouver has a rather nice ring to it...

Your totally not a bit biased there are you..... 
BioWare: Phoenix. For...personal reasons.
Hopefully EA is learning that quality does not cost ... it pays.
Hopefully EA is looking out for the long term interests of customers and shareholders, rather than focusing on short term quarterly profits and hustling a quick buck.
BioWare: Seattle, even. Seattle's all about the games industry.
How about Bioware: Brick? No? OK...

will the tarot card deck ever be sold separately? would pick them up in a heartbeat but couldn't get the collectors edition
looking into it. Nothing definite yet
Dragon Age Keep @DragonAgeKeep
A quick PSA: The Keep is not open at midnight. We'll open it up when we're back at work, sometime tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!
The locale for our Melbourne event tomorrow may actually be owned by the most interesting man in the world.
There are stuffed lions, bearskin rugs, a smoking room, his collection of race car pictures that -he- actually raced in…
And that’s just on the first two floors. He lives on the upper 4. In short: the coolest.
... Why not both?

Its high time they have office in places other than North America or Europe. Why not set up one in Asia ?
Went back to watch our "Fires Above" Trailer. Morrigan's voice gives me the shivers. Amazing @TheClaudiaBlack http://youtu.be/SpEsgxlZqro #DAI

This times 100.. would be the best thing evar if Bioware was in Phoenix..I'd die happy if that ever happened. :]

That can actually be a problem.
In game development centers like the Bay Area, big and small games companies alike have a terrible time keeping employees for more than a year, or sometimes more than 6 months in positions that aren't designed focused. There are SO MANY companies experiencing SO MUCH attrition on top of a huge (tenuous?) boom that many companies can afford to offer ridiculous employment offers, like big signing bonuses, corporate housing, Cadillac health insurance plans, relocation bonuses, salaries that would make your head explode... it's a crazy merry-go-round of folks hopping on and off payrolls, trading corporate ponies every which way. It takes a lot of time, energy, and money (see above) to find and acquire new talent, and if that talent will always be poached by another company down the road, well, Bioware Seattle or Bioware San Francisco starts to look like a pain in the ass to me. Not to mention if your institution knowledge is, like, 1 year deep? Especially management institutional knowledge? That's terrible for your games, it's terrible for your teams, and it's terrible for your stock price.
I imagine games industry folks in Edmonton are somewhat of a captive workforce, as there aren't a ton of game companies there. If you need or want to change jobs, you have to consider moving great distances, and if you have kids in school or your spouse has a good job in another industry, that starts to look less appealing. So you stay.
There are benefits to being in these games-dense places, of course, but I work in HR at a games company and this is a lot of what I see in my day-to-day.
Dragon Age: Inquisition will be PLAYABLE in the @EA_Australia Community Lounge at #PAXAus this weekend!
@NerdAppropriate A pleasure ... And the Bull made an appearance!!!
you can just disable the queue script in Noscript
Really? Definitely should tell them that
Mike Laidlaw @Mike_Laidlaw
We have special dispensation for me, and only me, to sit in the bear throne. I will do interviews there.
Its high time they have office in places other than North America or Europe. Why not set up one in Asia ?
Bioware:Singapore, or Bioware:Jakarta will be nice
