Dan Orzulak Working on GoldenEye 2

GameSpot recently reported that Dan Orzulak is among a handful of people who appear to be working on a new GoldenEye title at EA's Los Angeles studio. Though they credit him as a famous member of the Bungie team that created Halo, we all know him as the Origin Quality Assurance Leader that worked on Privateer, Righteous Fire, Armada, Kilrathi Saga and Wing Commander 3. His profile is highlighted on page 93 of the Official Wing Commander Armada Playtesters' Guide.

Dan's reputation as one of the best computer flight sim pilots in existence is only exceeded by his reputation for one of the most bizarre hair-styles known to man and by his own perception of his greatness.

That is a pretty wacky haircut, even for 1994.

George Oldziey Still Orchestrating

While LOAF was checking out The Punisher, ace saw the second Kill Bill and noticed something kind of neat. Apparently veteran Wing Commander musician George Oldziey also had a role in orchestrating aspects of Quentin Tarantino's latest film. Oldziey did the orchestral score for Wing Commander 3 through Prophecy, plus various Origin music in Crusader and Ultima. You can find a couple samples of his work in the Music Section.
