Stratics Interview

December 25th, 2006

Stratics has put up a lengthy interview with me that is less about Areae and more about how I got there, if that makes sense. Given that it’s Christmas Day, nobody is here online to read it, but maybe tomorrow, when you’re bored with all your presents. ;)

Speaking of which, I am leaving the computer again.

      Some of us are also Jewish, and Chanukah is over. :)

      Tomorrow won’t be Xmas either, and I still intend to goof off. :) You should too! (hmm, am I advising you not to read it?)

      Nice interview. I think you made some nice points that are good to hear. I’d love to chat further with you at some point.

      You have a more extravagant life than H. P. Lovecraft.

      I’m envious.

      (after finishing to read)

      And also quite lucky. Being in the right place at the right moment.

      You are the man raph!!! I Wish you could command a team and develop another mmorpg(a mix of UO and SWG hehe). Big fan of your work here (ohh! you are very popular in Brazil too btw.)

      Excellent interview, I miss these.

      I agree with Abalieno, your life (especially childhood), was quite unique. I wonder when I will venture further west than Pennsylvania or further south than Maryland.

      On the other hand, having the internet and virtual worlds has allowed me to find friends from every corner of the globe, all from the comfort of lovable New Jersey. That’s Real friends, for the record.

      I think all the emotions are real, and it can be overwhelming, just as much as losing someone in real life. No, scratch that. You DID lose someone in real life, is the thing.

      Heh. This debate always makes me giggle. In one of those MySpace chain surveys, a friend of mine had the question “How many of your Top Eight friends do you know in real life?” Her response said it all: “MySpace isn’t real?”

      Am I the first one to notice they misspelled your name in the interview?

      “Raph KostNer”

    12. tiveria said on

      *waves hand* You saw no misspelling ;)

      to stuff on Live Arcade

      Whatcha been playin? I’ve gone through the casual side of things,fr om Geometry Wars to Zuma. Looking for some new inspiration…

    14. Raph said on

      I’d say the current fun Arcade game is probably Assault Heroes.

      SWG was great. And can you be more precise when you are opening up a message board on AREAE.net.
