Is it true that the character Caboose has had multiple actors portraying him?

As an aspiring student, who hopefully will be accepted to colleges in the upcoming months, what steps did you (any of you I suppose) take to establish a foundation in computer science and it's related studies? I've taken AP comp Sci and passed the exam, but my teacher was very loose in his teachings so I feel very unprepared to learn more about a topic I wish to better understand. This mainly concerns me as I want to study in computer engineering and I feel I should take it upon myself to learn it on my own before I go anywhere.

Oh and thanks for doing this ama as well! It's really neat to see how society and technology can evolve in tandem through stellar individuals :)

Wow that's such a relieving thing to hear! I've been really concerned that I would step into freshman classes and flounder just because I didn't know how to write full programs already. I think I'll check out some of those resources linked in the OP just to learn some stuff here and there out of personal interest.

Thanks again!

Hello Viktor!

I've loved your work on both games, I feel that atmosphere is one of the most overlooked values in a game, but adds immensely to its value and quality. Over the years some of my favorite games have been those who have an amazing ability to immerse me into the world, regardless how "flashy" the graphics may be, and games such as Half-Life 2 and Dishonored have forced me to replay them many times to enjoy their settings again.

That being said, another huge intrigue of mine is the influence of literature/poetry to the artistic development of games! I noticed in an earlier comment you mentioned using Melville for inspiration in making Dishonored. Have you personally had any major contributions to your creativity/concepts from literature? Or let us know any other games you've enjoyed that have strong literary ties!

Thank you again for all your work, as well as for doing this AMA, and I'm very excited to see what works will come from you and Darewise!

I'm very familiar with Poe, and I can definitely see some of his style reflected in Dishonored! I will absolutely spend some time to check out Marquez and Hoffman after my summer finals. Thank you again, and good luck!
