Wow, didn't even see this thread...
I do work for Riot. Helping create this game has been my life for the past three years, and it has been pretty fucking epic. I am not a 3d artist - I do graphic design and web dev. I actually used my Searyx alias initially, and then ditched it after I got asked too many times if I was "the guy on the FOH boards who likes child pornography" (No, no I am not) so I switched to my RL name.

I still play pretty often. For a while I tried to ladder - cracked top 100 early in the season (1700 ELO) but fell from grace and I sit around 1500-1600 now.
If anyone wants to play, hit me up. Knuckle has my summoner name (or PM me).
We have some shit coming up VERY soon that is going to make you happy if you're a current player.
