Hi!

How is it to be working for Bioware? Was it your dream job since college?


It has been better then expected. Actually no, I didnt think I would end up in the games industry tbh.

Hi Bryan

Do you still stand in the middle of Giant when doing public challenges text chatting with others and getting smoked because you didn't take cover? :D




That was a long time ago and you probably don't remember it. ;)


Thats why I have medigel and teammates, iirc I was playing while at work and someone came and talked to me :P

When your working with your QA department do you divide up tasks looking at different aspects of a build such as sound , video graphics , and movement and such ? Or do you just throw everyone into a task and say have fun report back with findings overall ?


Seperation

Video Graphics is kind of a more everyone but for the most part people are seperated. We have playthrough specialist, cinematics, conversation, story, plot, cover, powers/weapons, level design, sound etc. etc.

Hey Bryan!
´
What do you think about a Renegade option to stomp bad teammates?

And a Paragon option to high five good teammates?


I think we would have some pretty intersting forum posts that would arise from that

whats your favorite kind of cheese?


Raclette


yes. 

Although, it is more of a mix up with Camembert by me. 



Raclette is great to cook with, Camembert I find more difficult to use when cooking.


It is, but I just find Camembert to be more enjoyable on the go. 
Raclette is great, especially with one of those specially designed mini grills. 


That is a Raclette grill :P

1) Was Kal'Reegar given a ship name when he was created? I want to say Qwib Qwib.

2) What do you think about the idea of adding Spectres in MP?

3) How's Canada this time of the year?


1) Wasn't on ME2
2) Not sure how it would work
3) Edmonton is starting to get cold (but I still wear shorts)

Dang, I was hoping I could find out his ship name but oh well. Do you think you could ask one of the writers?

You guys can make Spectres work. You actually made Volus cool so no doubt you can make Spectres work

I do the same when I am starting to get cold weather. Always wanted to visit Canada too 


I dont really work much with writers sorry

So Bryan, it's been snowing here in Calgary all week. How about your neck of the woods?

Also, if I drove three hours to come give you cookies, would you eat them?


Snowed last night, first time it stuck to the ground (still came to work with shorts and sandals)

I suppose so

Bryan, what do you think of this, and be completely honest:

Predator(Yes, the one from the movies!)

Infiltrator

Tactical Cloak
Submission Net
Plasma Caster (same as Hawk Missile Launcher, only plasma bolts and way better)

............
Predator

Soldier

Predator Mode(Similar to the Geth's Hunter Mode but thermal vision)
Plasma Caster
Submission Net

Obviously there is going to be some copyright issues. And I'm not expecting this to happen at all, just wondering what you thought.



Never seen the movie, so cant comment

Hi Bryan.

How many times have you played the Mass Effect games?

Also thanks to you guys for the packs coming out with no problems this week! :wub:


I have never completed ME1

ME2 the first time I completed it was a "speed" run in Japanese.

I have done ME2 ~15 times (most of which were speed runs [can do in about 3 hours]).

I have yet to beat ME3 as I am trying to beat ME1 then ME2 so I can finish ME3 (because I want a renegade with Kirahe alive)

Do you guys at Bioware get to hit some random out-of-office group events like paintball or bowling or whatnot from time to time? If so, anything you're allowed to mention about what the most memorable 'event' was?

Also, if the opportunity 'arose' to get any one of the other developers roasted in the reactor during a game without them seeing it coming, who would it be and what did he/she do to deserve said wrath?


Yah we do stuff like BBQs, Brewery Tours, Paintball'ing, movie nights etc.

Most memorable was when the entire mass team went to see skyline when we bough the tickets we though it would be an amazing movie.... Yah that didnt work out.

A programmer in Montreal named David Crooks, because he has been the only person to do it to me.

Just a quick question Bryan, are you a fan of any other video games like Halo for example?


Yes we are definitely gamers around here, we play a lot of different games. I wouldnt have to go far to find someone with a 100+ game library in steam.

Steam summer sales are almost like holidays here

Never seen indiana jones, scarface, god father, and many many others

not the way to keep him alive

paragon or rengade makes no difference to that its more about who is with him and who you save

but i wont tell you wich is which :)


What I mean there isnt another save that out there that I have found that has exactly what I want, so have to play for myself :P
