I had a b-hut by the South Korean hospital in Bagram back in '07. They had a Korean restaurant serving everyone and it was actually pretty tight. I wish I landed Kabul, though as they had three or four DFACs run by other countries. I was there for a couple hours and ate at one of them, simply amazing. Kabul is not a deployment, it's a vacay for senior officers looking to skim even more money while dipping into those OCO dollars.

Sam Still Speaks to Sean Noonan About Working on a Solo Project, Ubisoft, Star Citizen, and Splash Damage

quote:

TechRaptor: After Ubisoft you had a brief stint with Cloud Imperium Games where you worked on the first-person shooter segment of Star Citizen. I think it’s called Star Marine?

Sean: Yeah, so, I basically can quite easily split my time at Cloud Imperium into two. The first year I was working on Squadron 42, which was the single player campaign version of Star Citizen. Basically that’s the one that got all the insane cast like Gillian Anderson and Gary Oldman. A hell of a lot of Game of Thrones people are in there, like Liam Cunningham. I was working on that side of it for the first year, mostly on a vertical slice. So that’s basically a chunk of gameplay that’s representative of the full game. So that’s what I was working on.

Once the vertical slice was finished there was an opportunity for me to work on the multiplayer component. Specifically the first-person, because that’s where my expertise was. So yeah, I moved into the designer role on Star Marine and I built the two maps for that and was basically responsible for the game modes and the mode itself from a design point of view.

That was fun. It was interesting to move on to something multiplayer, because I toyed with it in previous jobs, during prototype phases, and it was always quite satisfying to be able to play the game you’re working on with other people. There were a few moments in Watch Dogs where I was able to do that and it was always fun. It doesn’t feel like work when you get to test something after you worked on it and other people are playing with it at the same time, giving you instant feedback. That was a good time.

quote:

TechRaptor: I guess I got to get the obvious question out of the way. Do you think Star Citizen— do you know when it’s going to come out?

Sean: No, I don’t know when it’s going to come out, but I think it will. You can currently play the MMO side of it now, the persistent universe, which I did some work on. Only a little bit, not much. It was one of my last tasks before I left the studio. But yeah, I think it will. I don’t know to what level, I don’t know what level people want it because most of my work was always on the very standalone stuff. Squadron 42 was quite a standalone product, Star Marine again is a standalone product. They’re all within the larger product, but I was very much connected to those things. I think it will, I don’t know when, but there’s definitely momentum there and they’re doing crazy stuff. Really crazy stuff. It’s real impressive.

I don't feel like "The game is coming out but I don't know when or to what extent" is much of a controversial take tbh

Though I am astonished that anyone would put Star Marine on their resume, but it looks like it didn't stop someone from employing him after he got the gently caress out

It's like you sold a guy a plate of spaghetti and meatballs for 2000 dollars, then you called across town to ask another kitchen to make 3 strands of spaghetti while you had your cook make the other strands but he'd never seen spaghetti so you drew him a bunch of lines and told him to get to it, then you went back to the customer and told him you were almost done and it was so good but maybe he'd like to wait a little longer and give you another 200 bucks and you'd add cheese, meanwhile the other kitchen had delivered the 3 strands but you didn't like the length so you threw them in the trash and refused to pay, and your cook had gone outside and collected a pile of sticks which he was insisting matched your drawing, so you fired him and cut out some pictures from a recipe book which you took back out to the customer and told him "Look I took some photos of the spaghetti, mmmm look how good, going to need another 100 bucks tho" and at this point it had been 7 hours but this was the stupidest, richest, most patient customer who'd ever lived so he said sure and to keep him interested you fished out one of the garbage spaghetti strands and sent that out on a plate, and then he asked about sauce and oh poo poo you forgot you were supposed to make that, so you told him actually the sauce is in your mind and you need to really savor that single strand and you hired a guy to come in off the street and eat another strand next to him while making orgasm noises and then you told him the meal was over and the strand he'd just eaten was the whole dish and he left you a 5 star review on Yelp.

Ultimately I like watching these things because they allow me to calibrate the credulity of the human race. No ultimate reason, but pranks and practical jokes metastasize into real life so easily. One really fun example recently was the claim that a previously minor league Isreali medical outfit was going to cure cancer within six months. The story, originally in Jpost, was very light on detail and extremely light on the kind of backup that you'd expect from a breakthrough like that.

The story spread like wildfire. It's like watching disease epidemiology, but instead of an illness, it's the 'fondly held dream' making the rounds.

Edit: The startup did some interesting temporal flipping; you know the game where the future and present tense get mangled into one large box. The 'fake it 'til you make it' school of attracting round 2 funding.
