And who said work can't be fun...? Of course there is some serious work to be done, but you'll have fun doing it. Maxis is looking for experienced technical people to play a key role in the design and implementation of EA's new online and next generation products. If you're a senior server or test/quality engineer and want to hear more...

Legendary game designer, Sid Meier (Alpha Centauri & Civilization), has been spotted at Maxis on a few occasions in recent months. Although the specifics are a closely guarded secret, we can tell you that Sid and Firaxis are working on a Sim title that is due out later this year. Look for more details in the coming weeks.
This SimDay, a few friends from Maxis work on their party skills with the help of House Party.
Here we are at Maxis, the home of MaxisAndrea and MaxisDano. Hey look ... there is MaxisAndrea now waving for us to come inside.
They just had breakfast and appear to be talking about having a party but feel as though something is missing in their party plan.
MaxisAndrea - Is there a course we can take for throwing parties? MaxisDano - I know ... we should call MAXISean! He knows how to throw a great party! I will call him right now.
I am here ... the party can now begin! Oh man you guys need balance in your lives. The first thing you have to do is change out of your PJ's.
I am going to ride the bull while you two get your groove on in your new party outfits.
MAXISean - Very well I well go change. While I am gone you guys call your friends and a caterer to prepare food for the hungry crowd.
You two need to reconnect and spend some quiet time together before the party starts. I suggest the bubble maker! MaxisDano - I feel as though something in this party environment is missing.
MaxisAndrea - I still do not know how to throw a party and also feel like something is missing. MaxisDano - What about dancing?
MAXISean - How about these dance cages? MaxisAndrea - They are a blast, but I still feel like something is missing.
MAXISean - Hang on let me DJ for you guys maybe that is the problem? A great party needs a great DJ. Wait ... I know what you guys are missing!
MAXISean - You are missing his and her bathrooms! Finally with House Party comes separate bathrooms.
MaxisDano - You are right MAXISSean. That is what our parties have been missing!What a successful event ... thank you to all the fans that came to the Fan Event last Saturday. We were also happy that so many of you were able to watch the Fan Event web cam. For those of you who missed the Fan Event view the party pictures!
We are counting down to the party of the year! A huge thanks to everyone who called in to RSVP! The event is full and we are expecting a great group that includes fans from Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Washington, Arizona, Nebraska, Kansas, Alaska and Connecticut! If you have cleared the waiting list, we will be calling you back before the end of the day on Friday March 16. Again, if you have already RSVP'ed, due to the overwhelming amount of phone calls we received, we will not be calling you back individually to confirm you reservation. Rest assured, you are on the list! Don't be late! It's March 17, 2001 @ Backflip, 601 Eddy Street, San Francisco, 6:00PM - 10:00PM.
