Subspace Radio recently interviewed me for their "I've Got a Name" segment. Listen to the recording, and read the transcript, here.


Link to the interview.

    OOoooo something to listen to while figuring out server configurations.

    The only funny part is the interviewer's accent/slang. Makes me chuckle a little when he says you're "busier than a 1-armed coat hanger." Where is that saying from!?

    PS - That music is obnoxious, someone needs to learn fading techniques and balance with their audio. =/

    PPS - I'm still not clear on what the countdown entails. I check places like Massively, MMORPG, etc and nobody seems to really know. What my guess would be is that STO is making an actual expansion for the Romulans. Complete with a story, ships, new sectors and lots of smexy c-store options.

    Excellent insight into the inner workings of BranFlakes.


    I grew up in North Orange County myself. When I went to school in New Jersey I had to constantly explain to people that its nothing like the TV show. :D

    Go Angels!

    Northern California myself, Pleasanton area with a brief stint in San Jose. I did live in Washington for 2 years in Olympia and Puyallup but the weather was a deal breaker for me and I quickly returned to California. Addicted to the sun I guess, beaches and hiking with 80% less mud! :cool:

    Bit short but good interview.

    Now I Think we should get some community thing going to get Brandon go sky diving!

    PWE could perhaps sponsor it, and send someone along to video the whole thing, what do you guys Think? :D

    I'm pretty sure we could get some community volunteers to shove Brandon out of an airplane... :P

    I would insist upon him wearing a red-shirt though. At least that way if the jump fails we have an excuse.

    Why would someone wish to push Brandon out of an airplane? He's a very good community manager, I can't see why anyone would have ill will against him.

    Yes...and the person who pushed would be branded a cereal killer. :(

    Yeah, we really need to get Brandon's Infected Ground Elite theme song into the game. At the very least every April 1st. :D

    Ouch! My eyes are on fire trying to read that! :eek:

    No spaces, white text, and that background. I can't even look at that page without severe headaches, so could appricate if someone could summarize that or provde a transcript.

    Look at the buttons on top right of the SSR page, you can .pdf print and e-mail it etc. :)

    Thx, but don't need it.

    I trust the webmaster is reading this and would think about more convienent for the readers. You're not going to get you much of a following if you burn the retina's of those whom you want to follow you. :rolleyes:

    And we needed to know this why? Can we have more game updates please... or bug fixes. I'm suprised anyone at Cryptic gets any work done... I certainly wouldn't in my job if I had to stop for constant interviews... then hundreds of OAP's in the UK would not get any care or heating in the winter.

    Because it's nice to know the person as well. There are tons of interviews that cover nothing but the game. The interviewer does these type of interviews quite often with players, fleet leaders, and others and wanted to include Brandon as well.

    As for them working, I know for a fact most devs work way more than the normal 8-5. Brandon is one of them. This was meant to be more of a fun interview, these guys deserve to have a little fun every now and then.

    Also added spacing in there. We are limited as to what we can do with the background. Using white text makes it show up the best. I personally have no issues when reading it. Sorry you have problems.

    It would be in nobody's best interest if Brandon touched the code. :)

    Giving these interviews *IS* his job; part of it, anyway. He's the Community Manager.
