[game_edu] I could use some help

[Nathaniel Abernathy]

Greetings Warren,

Very exciting to learn about the program. I have even considered applying
just to learn from some of the best minds in the industry. Although I lack
the experience you desire for the position, I would still like to offer my
assistance in any way I can.

On a side note it would appear that your Wordpress site you linked is
merely a template page with no information about the program. I think the
correct link is warrenspector.wordpress.com

And finally your talk at GDC 2013 was awesome. It was very helpful and
thought provoking.

Good Luck,

Nathaniel Abernathy
