What would you do if you came across someone from Team17?

Post by **Squirminator2k** » Mon May 23, 2005 2:14 pm

I think, Bonz, that they would be quite scared if anyone where to spontaneously fly to England just to visit them. The only simialr occurance I can think of is Simon Woodroffe (from Adventure Soft) being stalked by a French girl after the release of Simon the Sorcerer.

I'd quite plainly fail to recognize them, I'm sure.

You'd recognise Spadge. He's big and round and has MB written across his shirt.

He falls slowly from the sky in a shower of question marks and then explodes violently.

Watch out for him.

He's also appearing in BBC's new Sitcom, "Extras".

That was basically my answer too.

Hmm, when I visited Team17 HQ last summer I didn't get to meet many of the "famous" ones! Although I actually spotted Kilburn and Jegg before they went to the pub (I was there when it was lunchtime. Bummer!), but I did get to meet Agent Dennis! Brilliant man!

I remember a funny incident from when I was there:

I was asking Dennis where the bathroom was and he showed me. Then I went inside. It was dark and there was no lightswitch on the wall. After alot of searching I still couldn't find it, so I went back to where he was with the rest of my family and asked "Why's there no lightswitch in the toilet?" and then he said "There is!". So he followed to me and showed me that I had to pull some sort of a rope hanging from the cieling and I was like "Ah" and we both laughed!

Jegg told me a couple of minutes ago that the toilet (the upstairs posh one) is only for the big big bosses. I must've been very VIP don't you think?

Dennis is great. I stole his PC for about four hours when I went to the second focus test - I was playing W3D so he couldn't work.

One day I might surprise Team17 by just... turning up.

Be sure to wear leather pants and a funny hat.

I'd like to be able to a drive at some point. In a Perfect World I'm in a purple Smart Car with the Dream17 Logo on the side, driving up to Ossett, looking a real pillock.

I've just had a thought:

If I do move to Doncaster, I'll only be about 40km away from Ossett!

It would completely depend who they are.

For example:

Zero: "OMFG TEH WOZOR ZEOR 111"
FatWhitey "Hello! How are you etc"
S2K "Hi"
Worm Mad "Where did SFFM go?"

On that logic...

I believe if I met Paul we'd have a intresting debate on why Swansea sucks

Paul.Power · Post by **Paul.Power** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 3:01 pm

I wouldn't say it sucks. It's not great, I'll admit. But it's not great in an interesting way. Which beats, say, Milton Keynes.

EDIT: It also failed to get into the Top 50 Crap Towns, which featured Cardiff among others.

Blinx · Post by **Blinx** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 3:06 pm

Cardiff is crap. It's basicly Swansea 1.5 with more people and shops which are crap. There are 3 Games in Cardiff. Wonderful if you have money to burn. Also. Starbucks sucks. (except the frappchinos. ohhh *drools* except the bastard brain freezes that follow downing half of it in one go, and collapsing to the floor unconcious. True story )

Hey, I won't hear a bad word said against Milton_Keynes.sc4. I was born there.

Blinx · Post by **Blinx** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 3:08 pm

I thought Milton_Keynes.xom was better. Until the worms came. That was a crap day.

That has to be the only case of someone stalking a software developer I have ever heard of.

But, anyway, I think I'd probably do this:

Me: "You're one of the guys who made Worms, aren't you?"
T17 Member: "Yep."
Me: "Oh. Cool."

But then, that's how I always react to anything.
