mapcore family reunion warby zacker and mazy at ioi office

Warby · January 28, 2007 at 11:33 AM

i went to Copenhagen last week for a job interview at ioi (level design).

and since i did not had to sign an nda (because the legal guy was on sking vacation ) i am technically allowed to tell you JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING i saw there none the less i am gonna stay silent about delicate details since this whole thing is "trust" based right now something not all companys do.

all the people that interviewed me where really nice and the office has an insane water front view the dvd and game library was pretty insane too

but of course what really took the cake was meeting zacker and mazy who i had some time to spend with during the lunch break (pretty amazing fewd ... and accroding to those 2 it was one of the weaker fewd days).

the man the legend ... the man: zacker

i spend one day longer in Copenhagen than necessary to look for nice areas to life in and also did some sight seeing

now i hope that they get back to me quickly and make me an offer moving to Copenhagen and working with those guys would be a blast =)

Warby · January 28, 2007 at 2:35 PM

Christ, Mazy's put on a fair bit of weight

Zacker · January 28, 2007 at 3:45 PM

It was really great to have 3 mapcorians gathered! I hope that you get the job, which you should have quite a fair chance of doing.

PhilipK · January 28, 2007 at 4:02 PM

Woh nice

Best of luck for you.

I also wanna meet mazzle btw

Mazy · January 28, 2007 at 5:07 PM

Yes, I am getting kinda chubby, working on reversing that

Anyway, was nice to meet you, you're a cool dude. And yeah, as far as I can tell your chances for getting the gig should be quite good.

Sa74n · January 28, 2007 at 5:09 PM

lololol.. nerdfest. j/k

nice to see mapcorians united tho!

zaphod · January 28, 2007 at 7:03 PM

this can only result in a cold war style mapcorian arms race, GBX vs. IO as the two companies scramble to aquire all core talent.

You guys speak english around the office?

General Vivi · January 28, 2007 at 7:51 PM

hey ! coo coo! more people meeting! if you take 1 trip to gbx you meet majority of people on mapcore

st0lve · January 28, 2007 at 8:57 PM

It's more of a GRIN vs GBX afaik. And it will be until Peris decides to start up Hurg, Entertainment of Today (EOT RITE!!1!12) and we'll all settle somewhere nice (how about Italy guys?).

Grinwhrl · January 28, 2007 at 9:25 PM

you guys look like high school kids, imao

best of like to you!

We call dibs on America. The rest of you can fight it out in the EU.

Zacker · January 29, 2007 at 7:21 AM

We might be a bit behind GBX in the war atm, but we are still recruiting pretty heavily within level design, so that might change.

And yes Zap, english is the official company and office language.

Minos · January 29, 2007 at 2:34 PM

Sounds cool warby I'm sure you will make it.

Warby · January 29, 2007 at 2:36 PM

I won't share it with the people from Piratebay, they'll just steal our games before we even manage to release
