  1. Company News How to make friends and influence previews

    Two thoughts: When I was still working in an office, we would ask "so how was the game?" - we couldn't care less about the trip. If people talked more about the trip than the game, we all knew that it probably wouldn't yield be enough material for a 20 page preview, to exaggerate slightly...

  2. Company News How to make friends and influence previews

    I live on the West Coast of the USA. Bethesda is on the East Coast. Please show me how I can make my way there on day 1, see the game on day 2 and talk to developers until almost 6 pm, get to the airport and fly out in the evening of the same day. I've actually missed flights because I was stuck...

  3. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Well, if I find that out AND he even told me, you can be sure that I'm going to write that. May or may not call out his name, but if he's a high profile guy in the team, you bet I will. Why would I lose his trust for telling a fact that's painfully obvious? Read mine. ;) I even did a multi page...

  4. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Yeah, that was the question VD brought up in this thread I was answering myself, too. Also, I see it this way: if somebody trusts me, he tells me more than he would tell someone he didn't trust. Now, whether it's fit to print or not, it helps me to understand the bigger picture better and...

  5. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Got it. And I laughed. Really did.

  6. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Ah, that was it. Thanks!

  7. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_Law ;-) No offense, though. Just in case somebody sees this link as arrogant fearmongering or whatever. EDIT: For reasons beyond my control, I can't make that link clickable.

  8. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Could you back your claims about me and what I said up for a sec? Where did I arrogantly talk about the things you described? Wir können uns auch gerne in Deutsch oder Französisch unterhalten - ich glaube nur nicht, dass ich Dich dann überhaupt verstehen würde. ;)

  9. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Hey, I didn't get that allusion - but then I never played Sneak King either. ;-)

  10. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Thanks for being much more eloquent than this non-native speaker at 2:30am. Interestingly enough, when it would be interesting to talk about content, the discussion changes to my not perfect grammar. Interesting. And that after 100 or so messages. Thanks - I aim to be a man of my word, it's...

  11. A conversation with a gaming journalist

    Hey guys, apologies about not answering the questions in the other threads yet, week has been very crazy writing and making E3 appointments and dealing with other random stuff ... but no complaints, I will get to them before I fly down to Santa Monica. That said, I would make this broader as...

  12. GameSpy wishes for the Fallout fans to die

    The only thing that's left to say: a vacation it wasn't. I'm too tired to look up the other thread and message. In on evening, seeing game/interviewing next day, out the following morning. Not even 48 hours.

  13. Interview Informative Fallout 3 interview at Eurogamer

    What about Jar-Jar Binks? Can't he be our dad? Then I could finally shoot him.

  14. GameSpy wishes for the Fallout fans to die

    Re: Difficilis in otio quies... (nods) I have a sweet spot for that viewpoint actually myself. I even like bitmap graphics, Infinity Engine and such. And even Mythos, the action RPG from Flagship Studios (the guys behind Diablo and Hellgate: London) is pretty much good old isometric gameplay...

  15. GameSpy wishes for the Fallout fans to die

    Re: Difficilis in otio quies... Not at all. We both agree that 2D/3D is a similar stylistic choice as is b&w/color today. That is good. The picture I'm trying to describe was the one I was getting from reading the messages in this thread and a few others over the last few weeks. Glad that it...
