Arclegger! That's a pretty similar story to how Higby got into development.

Hmm... Hey guys! What would happen if I quit school and came asking for a QA job?

I think a lot of us are thinking about it. Probably comes down to who has the balls to actually follow through.

I do have a cousin in Sand Diego I might could stay with, hmmm...

Oh, and great interview Adam.

Yeah when I heard Higby's story it sounded exactly like my situation until he drove to San Diego and got a job.

I'm wondering if this is a sign... and Higby's my strategy guide.

This week we feature some of SOE’s finest “home-grown” developers that have followed their hearts and found the path that took them from SOE Customer Service and Quality Assurance to the PlanetSide 2 game design team.

HAHAHA NO MAX SPOTLIGHT FOR YOU! HAHAHA

I really enjoyed gunning in a Vanguard, because when you have a good driver it makes the game feel twice as fun.

It sounds like Arclegger get the driver/gunner debate.

Yeah, when I read that it reminded me of one of the 40k Gaunt's Ghosts books where a armored tank division that was working with the Ghosts was boasted about it's extremely high trained and skilled crews. Something like a pincer attack where the force would split left and right then turn back attack the enemy from both sides. These tanks wouldn't just go left and right then shoot at stuff to their sides, no. These tanks would turn around then go full speed back to the other side running over everything in the middle, the allied tanks on the other side would be doing the same thing and to prevent each other from running into one another they had high levels of coordination drilled into them so the tanks would pass by each other in the middle of the enemy forces in a move that would look some what like the teeth of a zipper on a jacket.

I loved scenes like that..
