    The Cowbell and where I can get more of it.
  1. Hell Yes. Finally - got my copy of BF2. Two orders of Discipline coming right up, biyaches! (w00t)
  2. What Chuberry said and also be prepared to show that you can write using a game's toolset - If you were looking to get hired on for NWN 2, you would have to show that you could write meaningful dialogue using NWN 1's toolset. It's one thing to write beautiful, flowing prose - entirely another to do so via a toolset interface that is anything but linear. Good luck!
  3. Some development companies offer design internships; however, they are pretty rare. Obsidian does, but they do set a pretty high standard for their interns. Luckily I was able to bribe them to get my foot in the door. One nice thing is that interns at Obsidian are given a lot of opportunities to contribute creatively, a likely reason why they grill their design candidates in the first place. Interns here can also move up the ladder in a short amount of time. An example: John Morgan was an intern for KOTOR 2. Now he
  4. Not an expert certainly, but I did teach AP biology for 8 years, before taking my current job with Obsidian. Human influence upon our climate at this point is debatable. Considering automobile/factory emissions, turning the rainforest into a parking lot, the excessive numbers of livestock, all of these have undoubtedly played at least a minor role in hastening the global warming trend. I'm too lazy (and busy! Did I mention busy!?) at the current moment to track down cites from relevant literature to back these claims up, but the really important thing to consider is this: Regardless of how much we argue about whether or not humans influence climate change on our planet, we cannot overlook this simple fact...humans are in a state of exponential growth. In 1999, we hit 6 billion. It is projected that only 50 years from now, we will hit 9 billion. It is irresponsible and disingenuous, to think that this surplus of human growth will not have an additional impact of some sort, upon our climate.
  5. I'm having a blast with Demon Stone for the PS2. Graphics are great, story is engaging, and it was cool to see their take on some of the more popular locales of Faerun. **SPOILER ALERT** Plus, you get to hack away at a legion of trolls, as everybody's favorite dark elf for a sequence of the game. Yeah, yeah, fanboy I know.
  6. Gah. I would have to say either a pompous ass paladin, stuffed to his own gills with righteous fury, or something of the foppish bard variety. And as much as I try to deny, I'm still a sucker for the goth necromancer sort. So much fun to depress everyone else in the party, with the dreary and dark moping about! :ph34r:
  7. Thats true, and I've always been particuliarly fond of that song "Six Different Ways" At the moment I'm listening to Panic by the Smiths BTW <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Outstanding. The Smiths are perhaps my favorite band of all time. One of the highlights of my life was standing on the rail, in the pit, for a Morrissey concert with my girlfriend. (w00t) Having kids might come close to that. Don't know yet. It was truly epic though.
  8. Are you all dressed up like The Cure <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nah. Eyeliner is so tedious to remove at times. But The Cure does rock.
  9. A band by the name of The Bravery is singlehandedly going to save modern rock as we know it. Their latest single, "An Honest Mistake" makes 80's fans like myself want to stand up and weep with joy.
