I've applied, but I doubt that I'll get it, considering half the people that use these forums are qualified for that position. Would be my dream job though, it would be doing what I love to do with a company I'd love to work for.

Ghost Widow wishes to remain anonymous. So, I'll never out him or her. And I hope everyone else respects his or her wish on this.
I'm not even going to say who's dating whom.

If the gentleman in question is one of the environmental artists then he is either Don Pham or Ryan Roth.

He's neither. I asked about him because I thought he was someone else who still works at Cryptic Studios and was told he was "John, one of our environmental artists".
Wow, someone earlier said it took them a week to get a rejection letter from Paragon Studios? It took me less than 8 hours.

[/ QUOTE ]
Hmmm... there is no longtime employee named 'John,' at least no 'Johns' that came over from Cryptic. There is a John Hegner hired in the first quarter of 2008 who is listed as a World Designer, but, I've seen a pic of John Hegner, and he's not it (the picture is too small to make a positive ID of who is the actual John Hegner in the group shot).
Of course, there are other recently hired folks for whom I have no name and he might be one of them. They've had a job position open for an Environment Artist for a long time, since Aug of 2008 and haven't taken it down yet. It's possible they wanted more than one and only filled one, so, they left the posting up.

Bah, liar. We all know that the devs have no such thing as a social life (except for SexyJay), and any notion of a longterm relationship with anything other than No-Doz, Slim Jims, Hot Pockets, Doritos, and Red Bull is pure fabrication.

The "experience required" flag is put onto job postings to limit the number of applicants who flat out would not qualify. It is not, however, a "hard" requirement -- if someone is sufficiently gifted and does very well on the various tests/interviews they can still be hired. It's happened before, it will happen again....but it is rare.

Hey hey hey buddy! Stay on task here! What does that gentleman do?!
[/ QUOTE ]
He's an Environmental Artist, which I believe puts him working with Melissa "War Witch" Bianco.
[/ QUOTE ]
War Witch is more into environmental design than art. She places spawns and writes dialogue. Environmental art creates the 3D world with 3D modeling, meshing, and texturing.
If the gentleman in question is one of the environmental artists then he is either Don Pham or Ryan Roth.
