Neither. A bear is a land shark and a shark is a water bear, so they'd cancel each other out in a fight. But, a shark and bear would never fight. They'd more likely team up and fight a Snow Owl (air bear) and Komodo Dragon (fire shark).

Lugo represented innocence corrupted. He followed Walker's example and gave in to the darkness, dooming himself.

It was a 5 year process, so that it would be hard to fully encapsulate that in a reply here. In short, it was hard, stressful, occasionally soul-crushing, educational, enlightening, and ultimately very rewarding. When development was over, I think a lot of us were left with our own lingering pain and trauma from the experience. But ultimately, were proud of what we'd made.

I don't know if I'll make something similar. I might, but if I do, I doubt it will be a military game.

Nope. If I work on a game, I'll play it once after it's released just to see how it turned out. I've considered playing SOTL again recently, but probably won't. Just too busy, tbh. If I have time to play a game, I'd rather it be something new.

I'm just realizing I never thanked you for the bread. It was very tasty. Thank you! (he said, very very late)

Do you know when a tightrope walker pretends to almost fall, and they're swaying back and forth, and your heart is in your throat as you wonder if it's real or not? That's me, balancing work and fatherhood, except very much for real. Luckily, I have a wonderful wife and family who help out with the baby when I absolutely have to get things done, and vice versa. But when I'm not on a deadline, it's been wonderful.

Fave moment at 2K outside of Spec Ops.... Hmmm.... Probably traveling with Ken Levine, demoing BioShock while he talked about it to press. Learned a lot by just sitting in the corner and listening. Or the time I demoed The Darkness for a bunch of journos, then at dinner got seated next to Darkness creator Marc Silvestri. I'm a huge comic fan, so I got very drunk on vodka redbulls and pestered him with all sorts of fanboy questions.
