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.”

Monster Comics
Another fun quote
Cheng: “That zone has, like, 5 people working in it.”
Josh: “That’s hyperbole, it’s really only like 4.”
Resistance Trailer
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.
Mooore
I’m unstoppable!
More monsters
This was going to be a 2-part story, then it turned into a 4-part, but it may end up being longer still..
More Monster Comics
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!
T-saur Visits Monster Island, Part 1
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…

Lisa: “No…”

Ross: “……don’t apologize for killing people!!!”
Mon-stars!
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?
Insomniatmosphere
Insomniac is a very pleasant place to work as far as team atmosphere goes. I love Fridays, because on Fridays lunch is brought in, and everyone eats together. I know many companies do stuff like this, but often times it’s just sort of “oh yay, free food,” grab your stuff and go.
Here, it is like a family reunion, as everyone quite playfully grabs their food and perches on every available surface to eat together. Warm little pods form as people pile onto couches and overflow to sit on the floor, gathered together to chat and eat.
I’ve been trying to nose out different pods each Friday so I can get to know the whole company, and I’m always welcomed in without hesitation (in spite of the fact that I can’t remember names for crap let alone whether someone is an artist or programmer or designer or what).
It’s an extraordinary compliment to the hard-working nature everyone here has exhibited so far. It has a very “work hard, play hard” sort of feel, and I am every so grateful to feel so at home. What a fantastic internship!
