Back To Meet The Devs

1. What is your name and/or nickname?

Cardell; Nickname: Dell

2. How did you come to work at Turbine?

Pure blind luck. They say lots of thought and deliberation went into it, but I have a sneaking suspicion they drew my name out of a hat.

3. What other jobs have you had?

Well, I worked in the Biotech field, producing virus that would help differentiate cancer cells from non-cancerous ones. After that, I worked in Biotech performing genetic tests for neurological disorders. Now I work.... here.

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

Well, I work on my basketball game a lot. I also work on a Larp in my spare time. Other than that nothing official as of yet.

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

Heh, one thing? Well, its a toss up between removing Tuskers and fiddling with the way magic damage is determined.

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

Crowley and I were adventuring together on Darktide. We were talking to some guy, and another person came over and pk'd him. Then that guy searched the body, picked up a hammer, equiped it and beat Crowley to death with it.

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

I'm in an allegiance with one character, and he knows that I'm a Turbie. Other than that I travel incognito.

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

I played Everquest and Ultima online. As of right now, I'm to busy feeling out the limits of AC. Once I hit a brick wall, I'll start looking elsewhere.

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

Counterstrike, and the old favorite, Starcraft.

10. Favourites:

Favorite Musician: Right now, I'm torn between Perfect Circle, Eminem, and Disturbed. That'll change by next month. Fovorite Film: Gah. I hate movies in general. I guess I'll have to go with American Psycho, not because it was my favorite, but because I didn't have a lot of negative stuff to say about it.

11. What was the first computer game you played?

Tapper

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

That's easy. Phat Lewt.

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

No. Damn Turbine!

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

Fasten then zip.

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

Looking around this office? Heh, it wouldn't matter. The typical turbinite has the survival instinct of a lemming. We could elect anyone, cause we'd all be dead by tomorrow. A bit fatalistic, aren't I?

If I had to choose who would be the supreme leader, I'd choose Dave Bowman. He's not doing bad so far.
