| What did Jeff Tall (director of the RNSM) make of DW?I have often thought about asking him to come up with a few mission scenarios! |

CDR Tall was pretty enthusiastic about the game.

| Thats not a post from him, thats an actual quote ... As for attending the event, I think Black Bean only invited representatives of the press (or parts of it) and some selected websites, Mille-Sabord and SimHQ being one of them. I was attending for SimHQ. |

 Global warming is apparently proceeding at an exceptionaly fast pace as MSgalileo claims:

You know for me all land West of the Chanel are Terra Incognita 
(for your information I just translated the article from LeReodutable because he hadn't time to do it himself, I didn't go to the meeting) |

Oneshot was generous, because he took a bunch of pics with my eyes closed, mouth open, etc - he had to search pretty hard to find one that was servicable... (the 6-hour time difference really knocked me on my arse, I was exhausted).
Here is a picture of me from a few years ago when I'm not TOTALLY exhausted (the only other pic on the 'net as far as I know... and we should all be thankful for THAT!) |

Cmdr. Tall was quite impressed with the scope of the game and actually got me in contact with some of the folks at the RN NWC, so that could bode well.
Neal has a link to Cmdr. Tall's promo video in the article/inteview that LeReodutable posted.

Jamie, I didn't know you were hired at SCS as a game developer specificially... I figured that Sonalysts pulled people from its other departments to form the SCS (and the earlier incarnations) staff.
That's cool that Sonalysts brought people into the company specifically to make games... you guys must have some forward thinking executive staff members.  |
