Witty 'turns out I've got the job after all' title

[MightyPea]

So, as it turns out, something went wrong in communication.
Thanks to my previous thread the right people found out, and things were fixed.
I'm now starting at Streamline Studios in Amsterdam in January.

Thanks to Demonprincess for getting me to apply!

I'm sad about leaving London behind, but excited about starting at Streamline :)

and have fun man! i worked with the guys at SLS for close to 3 years and loved it! a great group of people, and some of the most talented dudes and dudettes in the biz.

[kwakkie]

Yeah, a title like 'my horse and me' sounds like something to be proud of.... :P

Congratulations Pea, are there more people here that are working in the Dutch game industry btw?

[JO420]

Congrats and goodluck Mighty.




P.S watch out for them coffeehops ;)

[StJoris]

Congrats man! HA, now you're going to be a dutchy too! Back to the roots aah...Same shitty weather but more pot and booze :)

[MightyPea]

Thanks guys!

And yeah, there's a few companies there. Don't you dutchies dare rub it in. Belgium has the ONE company now.
Woedend games (which is a fucking brilliant name for a studio who made a game about ponies, given that it means 'furious') are apparantly working on something cool now, I'm told.

[Neox]

[MightyPea]

Stimpack: is the cheese truly that appalling over there?

[DemonPrincess]

Big congrats, I'm glad you made it in! :poly142:

[stimpack]

Stimpack: is the cheese truly that appalling over there?

oh, i was looking to start a prostitution ring. we can talk cheese too tho! =P

[MightyPea]

What's 'stitution', why are we pro it, and (maybe most importantly) these rings... are they like the ones on Captain planet?

I just don't want to get stuck with the 'heart' one, or whatever. I call Fire!

Demonprincess: As am I! Thanks for the help.

On a sidenote, as an education of sorts for all you non-dutchies:
-Consumation of marijuana is legal in all of the Netherlands, its not strictly an Amsterdam-thing. It seems people are under the impression Amsterdam is a seperate country. Not so.
-I realise it's a big part of the cliché and all that, but what's with the freaking out about the red light district? Doesn't your capital have one?
I used to go to school in the red light district of Brussels, so I may have been desensitised.

I just typed that bit so I could slip in the anecdote of my school in the red light district, it's true.

[rube]

I live in Canada's capital and no, we don't have a red light district.

But congrats on the job.

[xysdf]

heeey!! nice one, congrats - see you then in january ;)

[MightyPea]

Hah, I didn't even realise there were any other polycounters besides DP and now, recently RazorBladder. I really like your stuff, so pray to god I'm not sitting behind you, or you'll have to put up with my staring over your shoulder all day long.

[xysdf]

Haha, I might have a dencent strategy for that as well, the shower per year thing worked quite well...

[Japhir]

hahaha

cool to see so many people from MY country in this industry, i was always like: nah.. i'm not going to try and make it my career, i don't really feel like moving to America ;).

[peppi]

This is good news, congrats MP!

[pixelmitherer]

Congratulations MightyPea, only been once but its a cool city.
