[Pax South 2018] : Mikey & The Blooper Girl Interview

[Guest 4ward]

 

just imagined being an interviewer at the Obsidian booth and asking the guys to show me their best build with instant casting and zero recovery time and then Kim Kardashian comes over and undresses and dresses in under a second and i‘m like can you simply show me your best build and they go ‚sorry but no questions allowed anymore‘, phew!, nightmares.

[Ninjamestari]

To be precise guys, he is not wearing a suit. He is wearing a dinner jacket with a t-shirt which is far worse. Adding a cap on top is just not proper etiquette.

 

To be honest, I really don't give a rat about etiquette, but his outfit really make my eyes want to vomit ^^

 

And my inner 15 year old rebel is dead, he died of starvation about a decade ago. Everything that stupid little punk ever wanted just happened and now the world is ****ed up for it.

That said I'm a bureaucrat and we're known to be small and rigid people. :D

 

I'm fairly rigid, but I'm 6'7", does that mean I can't be a bureaucrat?

 

 

Yes, I'm sorry if this realization crushed your dreams.

Especially work like a civil servant's is bad for you if you're extra tall. TheisEjsing is right!

I can't make a proper assessment without seeing his trousers and shoes first. Maybe his belt too if I want to be thorough which, of course, I obviously do.

 

Socks I can take or leave unless they are readily visible

Hmm, I thought this was ridiculous enough that no one would take it seriously.

At least I'm not, and never will be, a post-menopausal woman 

 

Sadly, whilst I am a little bit taller I am far from a baller.

I thought people took it as satire to the first wardrobe related comment. You're fine.

[algroth]

I reckon the cap gave a substantial bonus to intellect and the suit to resolve, plus acting as better armour than the other clothes available. Cue in the following:

 

 

[Karkarov]

 

What does your 15-year old rebel you might think of you now?

My 15-year old rebel deserves a kick in the balls. And most diplomats are probably pretty accepting. Part of the job to be flexible. The people I still talk to and network with from university who went into politics or foreign diplomacy are pretty adaptable. That said I'm a bureaucrat and we're known to be small and rigid people. :D

You should both join me in the private sector where you can get away with a sweater vest, jeans, and any shoes you want.  As long as you understand every meeting is critical, at least until the next meeting happens, and you need to know your audience unless you are highly ranked then you can be a jerk and an absolute neophyte at any given subject and it is okay.

 

Also 15 year old Karkarov's reaction to that guy and his clothing would have been way worse than modern Karkarov.  I can be a (non profanity based comment indicating not always a nice person that gets censored for some reason) these days, but by comparison to teenager me I am a saint.

My 2 cents about style:

I am a mad scientist in a physics institute full of other scientist. Nobody cares what we wear.

It is beyond my understanding how why anyone wears something different than running or hiking shoes when leaving the house, those things are made for walking.

I have the special ability to insult half of the universe because I need to be honest to keep my self respect.

My 15year old self was already a nerd so it does not care.

 

Fortuanatly for the rest of the world I am not a reporter or diplomat and I never work with those people.

I think he is a pastor by day, a game jounalist by noon, and perhaps a rapper/clubby by night. Perhaps that might explain it, the hat with a jacket blazer and t-shirt with board shorts and tennis sneakers is pretty common in the Americas.

Update - Another Interview [Katrina Garsten] :

Very cool Interview by the way...

 

 

 

Probably bigger than the First Game !!! OMFG

[Aramintai]

All interviews say spring, not Q1. So...sigh, I'm not getting my hopes up for March, more like closer to May.

[DexGames]

Yup... 

Try to convince yourself that it's for the best. [i'm trying to]

[ShadySands]

It could be late March. It won't be but it could be.

[Sedrefilos]

"Spring" is relative
Here in Greece May is almost early summer and I can imagine same goes for California

I'm gona be thinking spring = March or April tops

In Argentina "Spring" would be late September through later December instead. But yeah, I reckon they mean about April. We shall see soon though.

[Sedrefilos]

I was hoping they'd release it at the same date as the original just for the sake of it

It would have been cool, plus I'd make a birthday present for myself without even knowing it a second time! :D

[Karkarov]

Well April is in the middle of what we consider the Spring in the United States, so it is as good a guess as any.
