Asherons Call: Kwip and NeenerNeener.Net is back, and with interviews!

Sanya Weathers (Thomas), the Internet Relations Manager for Mythic Entertainment.
Sanya rocks, to put it simply. She's an absolutely hilarious maniac, and I love chatting with her. And chat with her I do, as we wander away from games to discuss crotch kicks, balcony parties and Kiss vs Gwar.

In my endless pursuit to prove that I'm nothing even close to a real gaming journalist, we don't discuss any juicy bits on either DAoC or WAR. But Sanya is so much damn fun to talk to, I love hearing her many and sordid tales. It's my pleasure to share some of these with you now [http://www.neenerneener.net/?p=475 ] . Enjoy!

Nik Davidson, Systems Designer on Lord of the Rings: Online at Turbine, Inc.

To celebrate the occasion of our first developer interview, I decided not to wear pants the entire time. I think it makes the interviews that much more interesting?

Anyone that's been to an ACPL since their inception knows Nik. He's a great guy, very funny, and besides being a designer is also a hard-core table-top gamer with all SORTS of great stories (some of which I strong-arm him into telling).

If you're looking for exclusive info on LotR:O, you're going to be disappointed. I didn't hold Nik's feet over the fire about anything - he's not just another pretty PR device, so I wanted to get some insight into him as a person rather than a developer. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Although he DOES finally explain where the infamous Drudge Dance [http://www.neenerneener.net/?p=470 ]came from! And to kick off his interviews - Justin 'Kaigon' Parks, cartoonist Yes, he's obviously a friend, but the interview format is the way I've decided to go with the N3RDCasts. I'm not famous in the MOG world, not a shaker nor a mover (unless you're talking about when I fall down), but I DO know a lot of people - really interesting people - in the MOG world. And most of them are really fun to talk to, and (hopefully) I can share some of the pleasure I get talking to these people with you. And if we happen to talk about a current or future MOG they're working on - hey, all the better!

They're not all going to be cartoonist friends of mine, of course. Kaigon made a good 'test subject' because: A) He's a funny guy, and I love his comic (as you should too, suckah!), and B) he knows what an idiot I am so he's more than willing to put up with my struggles as I attempt to figure out how to work
that there computery thingy [ http://www.neenerneener.net/?p=462 ].
