Troll confirmed. I never even insulted you

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

First!

Japanese?

Edit: Ninja'd. :c Stupid cheap internet connection of college.

Edit 2: I'm about 1/4th of the way reading it. I think my school's internet connection sucks because I have to keep refreshing it just to get a few more pixels on just to read.

I'm wondering, do you need to have a degree in your "language" just to work at Bungie?

Dang, he's got my level of cool beat. Then again, I suppose my level of cool isn't very high.

Good interview.

Shooting "baddies" in the face confirmed for 'Destiny'!

Seriously, that was a good read. Sounds like a big job.

He doesn't speak Portuguese so you lied again DeeJ. You should get banned. *Goes to request a ban on a mythic member thread.* And yes you are a mythic member.

Yorkshire?

  • 10.16.2012 12:59 PM PDT

Hmm. I speak English and only English. Nice read again David.

Can he translate into dead languages? I want a copy of the manual for the next game in ancient Sumarian.

Per Audacia Ad Astra

He has a thing with shooting things in the face...
Brilliant read!

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I usually have some coffee at home, get to the studio a little after 8:00, grab some more coffee, work until lunch, eat, grab a little more coffee, and work some more. Sometimes, if I'm feeling a bit drained, I'll get a late-afternoon coffee to mix things up. You don't want your routine to get too predictable, right?
Did somebody say coffee?

Great interview. It's interesting how the employees rank Experience, Work Ethic, and Talent differently.

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

All JET, so many JP majors set their goals on being accepted. It's not a bad thing, it's a great program. But I hear about it all the time. I've always thought about the localization in video games. I still remember my friend purchasing a Spanish copy of Halo 3 and hearing "¡Jefe Maestro!" during campaign. We nearly died.

  • 10.16.2012 2:28 PM PDT

Hooray for spanish profanity!

Interesting he chose Japanese as a second language, rather than Mandarin, or another one more prominent in big business nowadays. Sounds like he's been around, which is awesome.

  • 10.16.2012 2:35 PM PDT

Interesting. I always assumed localization was a job that the Publisher does, but I guess having an expert on hand while you make the game makes sense as well.

I demand that the next Bungie game be translated into Homeric Greek.

Cheers.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Very cool. And as a person with a foreign language class currently, you have my respect if you can understand what someone is saying in that language very easily. Anyone who talks more than a word every two seconds sounds like an auctioneer :/

Wait, he speaks physics? I fully expect him to answer my question in the mail sack then.
