Got this letter and I wanted to humbly share it with you all:

Dear Jace,

First of all love the show! I like how you get everyone that comes on your show to be like “What’s the Jace Hall Show?” Anyways, I have been wanting to write you an email to tell you how much you inspire me to be a better programmer/artist/person. I just graduated college with a BS in Game and Simulation Programming(yes that is the actual degree name). Before I started watching your show I was starting to think that everyone in the game industry was just hard ass, non joking, unfriendly, snobby people. All the programmers I worked under treated me like garbage. Something like a maid or personal servent. Granted I was an intern and I thought it was just a hazing thing I didn’t let it bother me. Any time I had a question everyone would jump down my throat and get annoyed when they had to show me.

I thought about giving up and just become a normal programmer and getting away from the game industry all together even though I love making games and nothing brings me more joy. After an episode of your show I sat up and watched the entire 3 seaons from start to finish. I like your show a lot more than any other show out there because you talk to the developers and not the stupid marketing director who knows nothing about making games(i espically loved the Blizzard team meetings you did, are they really like that?). But after watching your show it gave me hope that the game industry is a fun and exciting place to work and while it is a VERY stressful place to work there is still time for fun and pranks. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to new episodes of the JHS!

Thank you,
Dex

The idea that the show that I work on here with everyone at HDFILMS is actually inspiring people to not give up and pursue their dreams REALLY makes all the effort and hard work worth while.

It is an honor to serve.

Jace
