That means your dad is a legend because cinematics are the only thing Blizzard have never failed at

[Al-ksym]

“I went to Amazon to make a living wage” wasnt something I thought I’d hear today

[aznfattass]

Bro just casually drop legendary dad lore like it was another Tuesday

[neo_man]

all i have to say is that Reinhardt cinematic is my all time favorite piece of gaming cinematic. literally made me cry. Bless your dad for giving us those memories.

When employees leave your company and Amazon is the shining example of treating their employees right, you know you suck.

[madmatt]

You know a company is REALLY bad when Amazon treats you better as an employee.

[floh]

the human ending cinematic of warcraft 3 gave me the ultimate chills

[geneticallytails]

Your disappointment and sadness about what Blizzard could be is... we feel you, Thor.

[MaddieThePancake]

You know it's bad when even fucking Amazon treats the employees better

Wait your dad's Joeyray Hall? What a guy! That impeccable cinematics quality for so many games. Met him once, Worldwide Invitational Paris 2008, on a big screen over part of the show floor they had a reel of all the old cinematics playing, and he happened to be wandering past just as it had the intro to the Terran campaign of original Starcraft on. I sidle up and match the line as it plays: "Whatchu got for me out there Joeyray?" and then awkward thanks for many fond memories.

If the pops did the viking transition in the hots cinamatic he is one of my main inpirations for being an animator.

"And I got paid like a human being"
The Amazon packagers in the next room over: "is it possible to learn this power?"

[cerdaboy]

“ it’s a legendary company because, people put legendary amounts of effort into it. “
Damn near every company in current times
Glad you found a better employment! 💪🏾💯

I thank you and your dad for contributing to one of my favorite games I have ever played. Many great memories were made from your efforts.

I work in a job for several years getting paid hardly anything (I could barely make my car payments and rent each month if I ate nothing but ramen it was that bad) and I had no medical benefits. Worked from 9PM until 9AM six days a week. It wasn't until I had to take a bereavement leave that I was allowed any time off and my bosses all told me, "Do you really need three days off for bereavement? Your grandmother is dead nothing you can do about it." And that was when I put in my two week notice and left. Got hired right away by a different place which had normal business hours, I got paid a living wage, I actually got to see my friends and family, and I was treated like a human.

If you're out there dealing with shitty work conditions and being treated like a cog in a machine, know that they need you more than you need them. Always be looking for the next job, because YOU deserve to be treated like a human.

Your dads work really was one of the highlights of my childhood. Im sure he hears it often, but Im glad he did that work so I could have those memories.

Reminder that Bobby was one of the most highly paid CEOs in gaming.

That first cinematic I seen for WOW was a big deal, that scene were it opens with that nightelf running from the orcs was so otherworldly and magical I have no doubt those cinematics alone sold millions of people on getting the game. What a GOAT holy shit

[MrhibyeTV]

Wow, I had no idea your Dad was the cinematic director. The Blizzard cinematics from Diablo 2 blew my mind as a kid, I couldn't believe how amazing they looked. The cinematics are some of my favorite parts of the games. I remember getting excited after finishing each Act in D2 because it meant I got to watch an amazing masterpiece of visual storytelling. Props to you and your father. ❤️

[Valkyani]

Your dad made some of the best cinematics. Thralls and Gromash vs Manoroth still sends chills up my spine 25 years later.
