A new story entry has been added:
[drupal=374]Things You Were Too Afraid to Ask: Richard ‘Rahdo’ Ham[/drupal]

Just in time for his grand unveiling, our latest staff interview features none other than the Caesar of Creative, the Dean of Design, the Wizard of Words, Splash Damage’s freshly crowned Creative Director Richard ‘Rahdo’ Ham. As chronicled in the press release, Richard just finished work on Fable II as lead designer and previously contributed to all manner of games, including the rather popular Syphon Filter series, The Sims, and The Movies. But most of all, he ups our Impressive Beard Count by 1.
So what occasioned this personified lexicon of knowledge to set up shop right here in our offices? Luckily, that’s just one of the nuggets of information revealed in the full interview, which also covers what he actually does around here, his extensive industry experience, as well as his gaming background and habits.

If this keeps up, SD will have all the top talent in the games industry under one roof… and you know what that means. Yup, gas explosion at Splash Towers and we’ll be propelled back to the dark ages of 8-bit games… and Endrant :smiley:

Welcome aboard Mr Ham!

I was trying to find a place with the least amount of post so you might actually get this. I just want to say, in light of all the bad reviews (which should be discarded because they obviously didn’t play the game), this is hands down one of my favorite 360 games, ever! Y’all have created an amazing piece of art! Keep up the great work! :stroggtapir::stroggtapir::stroggtapir: for good luck

I was trying to find a place with the least amount of post so you might actually get this, and seeing as how Rahdo smarter than im expected and this is something I’m normally too afraid to ask, this seemed to be the best place: yo dawgs at splash damage, i heard you like jobs and rock. i would like to talk to u guys about my future and occupation. i am a geologist so if you hire me you can rock while you hire,i know you probably dont care or wont read this, but if you do, contact me at rockinsciencetypeforhire (steam name) im skilled with rocks and good at jobs.

Brink is a hella fun! Keep up the great work, SD!

i love this game and it has the biggest potential i have ever seen in ages. You really revolutioned fps…
But at the same time i dont get why this game is SO CONSOLIZED with 1 button 1 action full of delay in every click and why it’s so buggy and poorly realized.

I would compare this game to a B movie that has a beautiful storyline
I sent you a pm… hope you will give me 5 minutes.
thank you.
