My original posting of this interview had some musings about life as well as thoughts about our impending one year anniversary (November 2008). I left some of them in. The original interview also was split into two parts, so the flow may be a little disjointed. Either way, feel free to click 'Read More' and check it out for the first time or read it again.

Christopher Kaminski is an Associate Producer at Sega of America (he was at the time of this original interview, he has since moved on). He speaks Japanese, wears nice shoes, and in the spirit of full disclosure, has been a friend of mine for a few years. We actually met a few years back, here in Colorado, as I was interviewing for a job QA testing game software. It feels appropriately ironic that the first question he ever asked me was, “So what’s your favorite game of all time?”

That question turned into a good discussion and set a foundation for mutual respect and eventually friendship. That was basically the extent of my job interview. I started 3 days later. I laughed when he later told me, “I wasn’t really concerned with your answer. That question was to see how well you communicated and how passionate you were about games.”

Sneaky bastard.
