Reading...

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? [Edited on 10.16.2012 12:33 PM PDT]

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?
-
Hmm. I speak English and only English. Nice read again David.
-
Awesome read.
-
Very nice!
-
Can he translate into dead languages? I want a copy of the manual for the next game in ancient Sumarian.
-
He has a thing with shooting things in the face... Brilliant read!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tom Slattery 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?[/quote]Did somebody say coffee? Great interview. It's interesting how the employees rank Experience, Work Ethic, and Talent differently.

Awesome thanks DeeJ!! and nice to meet you Mr. Slattery
-
Chladný!

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 :/
-
Not one word about hating foreign host or lag? He most definitely does NOT speak my language!
-

-
Wait, he speaks physics? I fully expect him to answer my question in the mail sack then.
-
Nowhere in that article did Tom smile and offer me a vegemite sandwich. He does not speak-a my langauge.
-
It looks like Tom has a bunch to talk about! Great reading.
