IMO the Flood forum is more fun than many of the other forums, but I am also aware of its failings. It does tend to attract a lot of spam; however, there are several funny and witty members there.

Don't send me group invites.

I agree with everyone in here. Great interview Mike, it's been your best one yet. But I also have to agree with Uncle Tom. More follow up questions would be cool.

Other than that, keep em coming.

Nice job Mike! It's nice to hear of 'old Shish' every now and then.

Whoa, I missed this.
Mike, this interview was a definite improvement. Keep up the good work!

Kind of an informal place for Shishka to spill the secret of his name, though. >_>

That was an excellent interview, Mike. Keep it up!

Youre doing a lot more open ended questions and thats really good, you just need to get follow up ones as well.


I would imagine the questions were PM'd to Shishka to answer at his convenience, not a running real time Q&A. That's why there were no follow up questions.

Good job Mike.



Just to confirm, yes this was done over PM.
But from now on no matter What Im using to interveiw people I will ask follow up questions.

People have known for a while. I think he mentioned it in his old group before.

Mike, this is by far the best interview you have done yet. Marvelously done and thanks to Shishka for the entertaining answers and insight! I agree that some of the questions could have used follow-ups, but everybody has their own interviewing style and I disagree with YourUncleTom's opinions regarding "questions you should have asked." UncleTom, I mean no disrespect, but the interview belongs to Mike and the specific questions he chooses to ask or not ask should not be Monday-Morning-Quarterbacked. If you have questions for Shishka, then you should be doing the interviews. That said, I do agree with you regarding follow-up questions in the general sense.

So Mike -- Bravo! Please keep it up, your writing and interviewing style are getting better and better with every one of these that you do and I'm very proud of you!
Ahhhhh isn't that sweet. Lol. You sound like his dad

>_>

Good job Mike, by far the best interview you have done. I agree with Foman (to an extend anyway).

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Nice job Mike. You matured as an interviewer. This one is the best so far.

I <3 Shishka. I've always wanted to know more about him. Finally, I understand a little bit better.

Heheh, he has kittens? And he's not using them for food or sadistic rituals, but for companionship and self-induced guilt.

*is floored*

Keep them coming Mike. Another one about Shishka may be a bit out of the mold for interviews, but I'd read it and likely love it nonetheless. Barring that though, how about an interview with a Theme Master? I think I may need some perspective on one of them.

A Theme Master, That's a great idea. Problem is I dont know of any besides Count Blinkula.
I was actually thinking of interviewing Impurity, but interviewing a theme master sounds like a better idea.
One thing I would like to point out is one of my mistakes next time I will try to include pictures in my interviews, Something which I have they have been lacking so far.

Ok, now interview Shishka's cats; they're so darn cute. I'm also surprised 'Shishka' has nothing to do with pinecones.


Ha,ha. pinecones.
Great interview MikeD.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

Truly your best interview to date. I never knew Shishka had a soft side. I want to put a bow in his hair and pet his kitties.

Q: So, what's it like being one of Shishka's kitties?
A: Merow.

Q: I hear that he uses you so that he doesn't scream at the television while playing online. How is it to be used as a stress outlet?
A: Purrrrrrrr.

Q: Is it true that Shishka eats babies?
A: Can its be food times now?

Haha.

Good interview. (to OP)

I also remember getting a PM warning from Shishka in response to my first ever post on Bungie.Net. I was not off to a very good start. He scared the hell out of me and changed my direction.

I still have that PM.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Oh ye of little faith.

Recon looking at his PMs?! Wow, I remember him showing a picture of how many new PMs he had on his message center that he has yet to read.

  • 01.06.2008 4:51 PM PDT

Very well done interview and a great subject choice as well. I miss the Shishka-nanigans around here.

  • 01.06.2008 8:49 PM PDT

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I don't know how you caught Shishka on one of his rare lurks through Bungie. Shishka doesnt like me for some reason. :(

Wow. I was a jerk. An awesome jerk. And that was clearly from a more peaceful time, when I felt like I could PM warnings. Eventually the seven day blacklist became the warning.

Glad you liked the interview, folks. It was fun to do. The kittens, for ye non believers, are quite real. They're much bigger than in that picture now, of course.

Mike, I'd say that was a good set of interview questions. As due process, though, I kinda wish you had messaged me when you posted the interview. =) Also, while I'm not averse to answering some followup questions, I think the goal of the spotlight should be to highlight members of the community, which means it probably shouldn't linger in one place for too long.

They're not as rare as you think. And there's not really anyone I "dislike." There are people whose posts I read and I wonder to myself "Why are you here?" Not to say you're on that list.

Wait you keep a list of who's naughty and nice :)
Those kittens aren't very alike, the black looks evil but the tabby one looks alright.
I hope you don't get your kittens to fight with each other to relieve stress, the black one doesnt seem to like being cuddled.

So what its like living with Shishka?
Kitten..... GGrrrrrrrr...
