    Oh, and my avatar is actually a self-portrait.

    So ... you're actually wearing this bowler in real life?

    Real or fake? Because it looks really classy, so if you could teach me to grow one like that...

    Don't they, though? (Are mustaches singular or plural? I've never been able to figure that out.) I want to get one in real life and wear it just to confuse the heck out of people. After all, plenty of women already get regular hair extensions; I'm sure nose hair extensions could be the next big thing!

    Now, now, mustaches aren't nose hair extensions, they're upper lip hair extensions.

    As far as I know, each individual mustache hair is called a whisker, and then you'd use plural since you have more than one (but it's mostly used for cats), and mustache/moustache is the whole lot (just like "beard" or "hair", although "hair" is confusing since it can also be plural).

    So Majus and Suro... I'm curious
    Did you arrange a place to sleep yourself during your internship stay, did Telltale arrange it or do you sleep in the office?

    We helped them find a place, it's pretty hard to go house-hunting when you're in another country.
  • edited March 2010
    Well not so much "helping"...
    Basically they did all the work...
    And there still was no housewarming party :(
  • edited March 2010
    How do you guys find life here? It has to be pretty different.

    Perhaps this is the housewarming party? Hmm? Hmm?

    Okay, maybe not.

    Wait, who are Suro and Majus? I'm confused...
  • edited March 2010
    They're those guys who did that thing, you know?

    Are you serious?
  • edited March 2010
    no, he isn't.

    In fact he voiced Ssam in the Fourth I wonder what Happens in... videos
    For Future reference, Sarcasm does not translate well on the internet

    Were you guys the one who made the pigeons and rats in the game? Cuz I spot one of the rats doing the boxing victory dance in front of some other rats, then the commentators said that it was made by German interns.
  • edited March 2010
    Yes! We are very proud of every pigeon and rat in Sam&Max 301.

    Is anyone else having issues seeing the pics on the blog?
  • nikasaurnikasaur Telltale Alumni
    edited March 2010
    Our files server ate it so we're in the process of scraping together the pictures and setting the blog straight again.

    Nikasaur, I see that Majus took your place at the desk in the hallway.
  • nikasaurnikasaur Telltale Alumni
    edited March 2010
    He did, and Suro was in the Timeshare desk, THEN they both moved. Now Casey, the new choreographer, is the rotten desk thief.

    Majus is now right by the front door, which is great 'cause I walk in to start my day and it's like EEEEE surprise Majus! Then we dance.

    So wait, part of Telltale's business plan includes marketing oceanfront properties in exotic locations for a fraction of the cost of ownership?

    Guess that's the "Plan B" in case this whole adventure gaming thing doesn't work out, huh?

    I am not sure if that helps you getting your desk back Nikki...

    Please be aware that you must be legally qualified to work in the United States to be considered for this position.
    Gah...
    And that after hiring 2 Germans.
  • edited March 2010
    We are legally qualified to work in the US
    We got the visa and previous experience of mediadesign for it :3

    *looks at job listings* As tempting as the opportunities are (especially if you throw in that fake Rubik's Cube), it looks like my law degree, years of legal practice, and complete inability to create anything art-related make me ineligible for every position except Tester. Although I hear that Telltale's nutrient-rich sludge is pretty good, I'm not sure I could convince my wife to move from LA to the Bay Area so I can live the dream of running into walls over and over again.

    I can, however, give excellent advice on US immigration and visa issues for your employees!

    Oh look, here's one now! :)
  • edited March 2010
    I can speak French, complain and flirt outrageously with employees of both genders!

    But I'm not even legally qualified to work in Canada, so in the US? Forget about it. (Plus I don't think you get paid to do that kind of things anyways).
  • edited March 2010
    I always wanted to be in a place where somebody laugh louder than me. That, according to my mom, is pretty much impossible =P.

    Anyway, I have to STILL learn javascript and ajax, and I don't have any previous experience except this intership (And some webpages for my college =P), so, no.

    But, in that weird case they suddenly had open positions for Web Development Intership, can somebody tell me what I have to do? (Green Card Lottery?)
  • edited March 2010
    You can probably get a work visa if you have a job offer to show. Although f it's like Canada, they have to prove they can't hire someone from the country instead, and that it has to be you, that you have something specific to bring.

    As far as internships go, I have no idea.
  • edited March 2010
    Hee, so many people want to work for Telltale.

    Just be awesome. Work hard, be awesome, and be lucky. Those crazy dreams will come eventually. I suffered from writer's block for four years; two months ago I broke it. I now write-out 1000 words a day and dream of better things. If I, a hilariously inept joke, can do what I want when I set my mind to it, so can you. It's just worth remembering that 990 words out of a 1000 are unusable: always keep improving.

    Good luck to everyone, really. I'm sure you'll all be awesome if you work hard enough.
