Gameindustry people at BP?

category: general [glöplog]
I plan to pay my bp trip with university funds. This means I must undertake some fieldwork there :D
A focus on games could earn me a little grant. But I would really need to interview (and perhaps drink a little) with (ex)sceners involved with professional gamemaking. Anyone eligible and interested ?
yay.. i'm a tester at guerrilla games (for a week and a half now) so give me beer and i'll talk about how interesting this job is (hehe)

hehe..I was aiming for people who DO something :P
But we could have a beer nonetheless :)
I am a games taster!!
Now that requires some finetuning of the buds :P cheers!
Okkie, I saw on Nova Den Haag Vandaag (or summat like that) that Guerilla is working on a realistic warfare simulator located in South East Asia. Which leads me to the inevitable question- are those 3-dollar-whores any good?

Which reminds me, there was a conversation some time ago at #scene.nl which summed up Game Developers as follows:

They're the Porn Stars of Computers -every kid at least once in his life aspires to be one, but once you're there, you'd rather not talk about it. :)

in fact, my workmates and I plan opening a porn studio right after we've finished our current game project.

Serious. If there are any programmers of the gamebiz at the BP*o4, please talk to me or send me an email, we're looking for you guys and have nice offers for you.

And seriously..mail me too, I need to organise some interviews and such.
I'm an ex-pornstar trying to get back into business. This time I want to be a recruiter instead of just an actor, which is why I've been talking to pimps about hookers so much lately.

kb, I can supply enough tasty meat to get your studio up and running in a matter of days- as long as you don't require valid EU passports ofcourse. Call me and we can work out a deal.

havoc, good to see you are joining the 'adult entertainment bussiness' aswell! i've been doing 'aeb' stuff on the side for a few years now, it's quite lucrative!

for me it's hard to think of anybody going to breakpoint who's not involved in the games industry somehow. :)

bit off-topic: anybody from here going to gdc in march? meeting a few sceners in between sessions is always a good excuse for a beer...

Does writing official strategy guides about video games (Capcom, Square Enix, Namco, ...) count too?

If you pay me a beer I can tell you anything you want about video games ;) about women too...
added on the 2004-02-20 00:33:16 by Sanx Sanx
Vip: Perhaps..you should mail me in any case :)

sanx: There's a lot I don't know about video games. On the other hand, there is not much I don't know about women. I also know a thing or two concerning causality and the lack of such when it comes to videogames<>women :P
You said 'suality'?

But then again...for whom it may concern, mail me :)
