Back To Meet The Devs

1. What is your name and/or nickname?

Deb Matteson. Nickname? I don't think I have one. At least not that they'll call me to my face!

2. How did you come to work at Turbine?

A couple of guys who had been interns of mine at a previous job thought I'd like to work here. They were right.

3. What other jobs have you had?

Well... Before this I worked at a company that made CASE tools, and before that I worked in an Ada Compiler house. When I was much younger, I taught Arts and Crafts to little kids.

4. Do you work on anything else besides AC (and can you tell us about it)?

I just finished painting my living room. Oh...that's not what you meant, is it? Yes I do, and you should know better than to ask.

5. If you could add or change one thing in AC, what would that be?

I want swimming horses. Shhhh.. don't tell Patricia that!

6. What's the most amusing or embarrassing death you've had or witnessed in AC?

Oh man.... I'm still dying those embarassing deaths everytime I get onto the live servers!

7. Are you in an allegiance and do your allegiance members know you're at Turbine?

I don't play that much, so I'm pretty much a loner.

8. Have you played any other MMORPGs and are you looking forward to any upcoming ones?

I played Meridian59 for about 20 minutes. Ten minutes of that was trying to figure out how to open the pub door! Upcoming ones? You mean there are others?

9. What's the current in-office LAN game?

Umm... Counterstrike?

10. Favourites:

I'll listen to almost anything, The Philidelphia Story, Thai, Baseball, AC of course!

11. What was the first computer game you played?

Pong.

12. What would you like appreciative fans to send as gifts?

Chocolate. Nice letters. More Chocolate.

13. Did you get your pre-patch Greater Shadow Armour in time?

My level 6 character wasn't even close.

14. Fasten and then zip or zip and then fasten?

You know, I've never really paid attention!

15. Because of the lead- and asbestos-lined walls at Turbine's offices, you all survive the apocalypse - who'd get voted Supreme Leader?

Before or after the recount?
