This is an abridged cross-post of one of my mailing list postings. Hope the repeats don’t mind!
So, last Friday was my last day at Insomniac, and there were many tears upon my departure (mostly shed by me, of course). Before we left, Ted took the interns to lunch as a farewell and so we could ask him any lingering questions. One thing he asked each of us was, “What is the biggest thing you’ll be taking back with you from your summer at Insomniac?”
Josh: “Do they teach you about dual harmonics at the ETC?”
Lisa: “Um, can you give me a context?”
Josh: “Well, it’s like a harmonic, but there are two of them.”
Cheng: “That zone has, like, 5 people working in it.”
Josh: “That’s hyperbole, it’s really only like 4.”
Yesterday at work, we all crowded into the conference room to watch the Sony bit at E3 to see them show the Resistance 2 trailer. It was very exciting!

The best thing about this was being able to see a vertical slice of how awesome this game is going to be, it made me very excited to get back to work. I’m going to have to get a PS3 when this is all over with, so I can get the game and show it to people and say “hey, hey, see that setup? That one there? That’s mine!”
Best internship ever.
I’m unstoppable!
This was going to be a 2-part story, then it turned into a 4-part, but it may end up being longer still..
So the giant monster comic thing apparently triggered something in me. The ideas were pouring out of my brain so quickly that I had to run around with a bucket to catch them all. It’s fun to feel this way, I haven’t been on this much of a drawing frenzy in a long time!

Expect more to come.
And another amusing quote:
Colin: “In Fish Hell, I take care of you. In Fish Heaven, Lisa takes care of you.”
Some amusing summer time quotes…
Josh: “What do your parents do? Wait wait, I know…your dad is an engineer and your mom is a professor.”
Lisa: “No…”
Josh (ponders): “Okay, your dad breeds and raises unicorns and your mom teaches them to read…”

Gabe: “Don’t you sass me!”
Lisa: “I’ll a-sass-inate you!”

Jesse: “pinky swear NDA!”

Chocula (Ross), from 2 bays over: “DAMMIT LisaTheIntern!”
Lisa: “I’m sorry!!”
Ross: “……don’t apologize for killing people!!!”
Recently a friend and I were discussing old school giant monster movies, and how we were both fond of them as children. I was a big fan of Godzilla and Co. Having forgotten the name of my favorite monster (though I remembered him quite fondly), I did a bit of internetting and figured out his name. Can you guess who?
