Do it.

EDIT: Haha, have fun working on America's Army.
EDIT2: No, really. Make it good this time please? I'm blaming you for everything I'll dislike about that game when it gets released.

Funny story - the guy I talked to on the phone asked if I worked on the Paintball mod for Quake.  He used to play that.

That is, after all, the only way I can find you.
If DT walked past with a DP shirt? I'd probably take a picture of him, just for good measure.

 Jitspoe thought he applied for "modeler" but actually they hired him to be a  "model", so basically you will soon see a character based on jitpsoe.

They didn't give me a robe...

I think it went OK.  Some of the interview groups went better than others.  The had me meet with 13 12 different people, from 10:00 AM to 3:45 PM (though one guy was out because of a death in the family or something, so I think I got out just before 3:00).  Usually in pairs, but a couple 1 on 1's, for 45 minutes each.

I played AA for 2-3 years and I have finally seen the light at the end of the addiction tunnel.  I somewhat liked the game but after playing Crysis, AA looks horrible.

@Garret -- GRAPHICS DO NOT MAKE A GAME!!!!!  Its all about game play and the overall flowing presentation.  But graphics still effect your experience with the game. ;)
 
@Jitspoe -- Again good luck on this new endeavor.

Not just comparing graphics but also comparing game play, menus, sounds, and above all, online play.  AA is one laggy SOB compared to crysis.

The only reason I would buy Crysis is to be able to play with the Level Editor. That's it. Well, and noclip/god through SP to see how pretty it is.

By the way - I've started working.  It's a nice place.  Lots of benefits.  Free soda all day.  Free beer and snacks during the weekly meetings (not that I drink beer, but they have other fancier drinks, too).  Free breakfast on Monday.  I get up to 5 ubisoft games each month for $8/ea ($16 for the console games, but who cares about those. ;)).  The code base is a beast, though.  Seems I spend most of the time compiling.

As long as I don't have anything conflicting with it, I'll probably go.

What are you working on? (Not on the upper which-game level since that's HUEG SECRET, but what general area of the game. Networking? Graphics engine? Underlying engine? Art?)

I'm happy to see everything worked out with the job,  You seem a lot less busy - I saw you online an hour or so ago, do you just do whatever you want during the compiling time?

Congratulations

y00tz: I wouldn't necessarily say I'm less busy.  I'm getting less sleep, though.  I have to be at work by 10:00 (earlier than I'm used to - sad, I know), but my body still doesn't want to go to sleep before 3am or so.

As for what I'm working on - it's weapon related.  I believe I'm going to go out and shoot real guns this weekend to see how they behave.

Oldish rumor, but http://www.joystiq.com/2008/02/26/rumor-ea-eyeing-ubisoft-takeover-next/.   Ubisoft owns Red Storm, right?
Title: Re: I Interview with Red Storm Tomorrow
Post by: jitspoe on March 11, 2008, 11:12:42 AM
Yikes.  I think Ubisoft is a bit large for that, and most of the studios are outside of the US.

Edit: Wow, didn't know EA had 25% of the shares.  Scary.  Everything Acquired.
Title: Re: I Interview with Red Storm Tomorrow
