Additionally, Chris Rickwood has been nominated by the Game Audio Network Guild in the category of Best Audio – Other for his work on Adult Swim’s “Nine Billion Miles From Earth” and Cartoon Network’s “Grim’s Downfall.” Winners will be announced on February 21st at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
