Well? Could one of the less-active staff members get a new one?

Y'all could interveiw me....
don't know why you'd want to, but i'm sure i could find something constructive to say
-
you could interview me :D j/k
"what's it like having no life?"
lol ;)
-
You can't interview me.
-
You could interview me, but you'd regret it in short order.

Probably the same case here... :p :D

How about some TC interviews? We have Star Wars, Wing Commander and TBP deep into production, and talk of a S:AAB and a few others. Those sort of campaigns/mods have to contend with the porting of entire universes - plenty of interesting problems/solutions to put in an interview. Plus, even less radical Conversions, such as the TVWar and OTT (sort of, I think they're replacing every ship) and Inferno, GEs Port might be a little old now to warrant an interview, but hey, it'd be something.
Then of course there are the multitude of other campaigns around which warrant an interview, particularly any of the ones offering something new and unique, or even ones that look close to completion.
I like reading the interviews, but with only 3, it gets old fairly quick...:(

Ah yes. Seems he's still on form, too :)
-
You could interview me... although the only thing I can offer is lamentation over loss of imagination, writers block and a bad case of apathy... :nervous:
-
I like interviewing people... but meh
:D

Another request for stuff? Well I guess this is possible.
The question I think we need to start asking ourselves is the priority of things on the site. Lately there've been a request for various things from these interviews to changing the POTD. What's important? There's a lot that needs to be done around the place... Is an interview really top of that list?
-
Conscript some dumb-ass newbie to do it and give them a "World O Interviews" forum or something for their trouble.
-
...or get someone to write a few scripts to select the POTD from a list/write some easy way to submit interviews...
-
Look, whaddaya want an interview for, anyway? What is there to know that's not going to be covered in the tutorials, when the admins get those up very soon.;)

Well, you see... you don't have to carry everything on your shoulders. There are always other people that actually _like_ to do these kinds of things(like me :p) If you feel that interviewing should be a job only for the HLP founders/current admins, thats fine...but I think its much more efficient and less time consuming for you guys to just let someone else do it.

Have done a few since then, and I forget most things from over a year ago, so oh well :)
[edit] Wait... hmm... was it about SOC: Operation Otara?
I remember starting a trailer for u on that a LONG time ago and whatnot, and asking u questions about it... lol...

Yeah, it was about SOpO, and no, I haven't finished it nor have I canceled it - it's next in line for the QM team after DOE.

Thank Setekh - he came up with it! :D

It's especially funny if you have no idea what they are and you just read it out loud to yourself.. it would be like singing happy birthday except with the "tradtitional" words replaced with some such as "Hodiq" and "Juvka"

I would love to have some purpose here other than spammer :D
Can someone post some links to examples of these interviews?
I don't know much about FreeSpace or rendering but my writing skills are exceptional. With some FS background info and a bit of coaching as to what types of questions you want asked I could probably handle this.
What sayeth The Prophet? :wink:
besides "Go finish your LoE mob!" :p

I can't give you any examples; I doubt you need them, really. If you insist, there are probably interviews over at VWatch or maybe the Descent Network. As for what would interest, well seriously, look around HLP. Is there any subject that we have not at one point or another touched upon?
But for saftey's sake, I'd say try to limit it to FS, MOD, art (2 and 3D), and perhaps games in general. Aside from that, AFAIC (As Far As I Care), the sky's the limit!
-
I've seen some examples since that post. Now I'm just waiting on The Word™ :D
-
Actually, I've got a good idea for an interview, make it real professional-like...
I: So, aside from providing, ah, "pearls of wisdom" for the community, what do you do?
ME: Well, I'm currently a RNC on the DNK-MA, and am local coordinator for the SOAP on the ROPE, and in my spare time I run TTP projects.
Oh, and I'm sub-head directorial administrative assistant second class of the GItTA-FRCHENNKHNeHROGH.
Give it that real HLP feel, ya know?

:nervous: ;)
and now, for something completely different:
have you even played Freespace?
-
:lol: :lol: :lol:
WHAT kinda question is that?
don't answer. I know it has something to do with masturabtion
-
and the disqualifying answer is 'No'...just wanted to help out...oh well :blah:
-
no please, help, help. Get someone to help if needed (someone who HAS played FS), I'm sure it's not that fun doing it alone.
K, I'll stop spamming now.
well, actually.... nah.:D
-
wait Stu, you're confusing me. what's not fun doin' alone?
-
ah, go play somewhere else.
-
and now tell me exactly what do you mean by that? :wtf:
-
Wait a minute. If she..............

I don't understand why are people jumping arround asking to be interviewed? Have you ever heard anything about the word: Modesty?
-
as they say, Don´t call us, we´ll call you.
