....what do you mean, there's nothing on that url... it's removed....

Spoiler

Just kidding, he's an alcoholic, what other explanation can there be?

[Steinar Bergstol]

We certainly know he has been working rather than reading the forums though, or the bottle would be empty.

First of all, the lighting on Neo-Caustic looks amazing. I want to fight there so bad right now.

Second of all...clearly, clearly, the whiskey is because that dev just spent ten minutes reading the forums. And also because Piranha is clearly a better place to work than where I'm sitting right now, mang.

[Narcissistic Martyr]

Any questions?

I was gonna say, that to prepare himself each afternoon once it hits 5'o clock for the shitstorm that is reading feedback and the forums.

I dont even work there and i need a drink after wading through this sea of masochist and epeeners. I cant play unless im 3 sheets to the wind anymore or i would have tossed my computer into the Schuylkill river out of pure frustration.

It's an office bet, gets moved around from place to place depending on Paul's news feed trends.

He won that week.

It's medicinal. He takes a swig every time someone on the forums utters the word "Citadel", to keep the nightmares at bay. He doesn't even need to be logged on to know when this happens.

I would drink too if I were a MWO map designer for PGI.

Have you seen some of the posts from our community.

Irish Whiskey, eh? That explains the fog in the map.

[MoonUnitBeta]

Celebrating the Customer Loyalty Program of course!
And probably because MWO is almost 2 years old.

i have done my share of map design for quake and wolfenstein et, believe me it's part of the job description. the bottle on your desk is probably left by the previous designer who jumped out the window on the same office

remember this is the guy that has to fill all the little holes in the terrain so you don't get stuck too, that can be tedious; and so can a lot of things - its not all the design fun part, for instance the visibility calculations in river city are a bit crazy so the buildings tend to flicker.
that's very much a tech/eng. problem too and they had to make the trees more efficient in draw call and physics for there to be maps where you can knock most of them down

If I still worked in an office, I'd want a bottle of whiskey at my desk too.

THe map design process has driven him into a great depression, between trying to make Russ's deadlines and keep us whiney ass players happy, he drowns his pain away with the Whiskey.
