ABSTRACT
In October of 2013, I released the first eBook in my Stay Awhile and Listen series, which documents the history of Blizzard North and Blizzard Entertainment. One of my goals in writing Stay Awhile and Listen was to craft a digital monument that celebrated the era, people, and games of Blizzard Entertainment and Blizzard North—hence the name of the e-publishing company I co-founded with my wife: Digital Monument Press. To that end, I conducted extensive interviews with dozens of former Blizzard developers as well as developers who played a part in the history of Blizzard Entertainment and/or North. One such individual was Brian Fargo, founder of Interplay Productions (later renamed Interplay Entertainment).
