Default Interns don't get respect

Says Telltale's Team Page:



I'm not sure whether this makes Telltale cooler or worse.

It's just a joke. They haven't deprived him of a bio, he just hasn't written one and they've took that opportunity to make a joke our of it.

Someone modified the default "so and so hasn't filled their bio yet" text. Either a colleague did it to tease him or he did it himself. I wouldn't worry about it.

That guy's last name looks like a nightmare Scrabble rack... with one too many letters... and more Zs than you'd ordinarily have in a Scrabble set... all right, maybe this Scrabble simile is bad.

If you don't get enough respect as an intern, you could always report the company to the tax authorities for breaking minimum wage regulations. You'll get respect that way. No love or admiration or career help, though.


(not that I'm suggesting Telltale are iffy in any way, it's just the 'unpaid interns' business has been in the papers a lot recently)

Rumour has it a 6'6" bear threatened him.

Still as far as I'm concerned, Marcin kicked my ass. Not that I'm surprised since I spent most of the time wondering what I was supposed to do. There wasn't a tutorial or anything!

Haha, that scamp. I'm pretty sure Marcin (pronounced mar-chin) went back to Ireland recently and they just haven't updated it.

One vowel is just not enough for an eight-letter name, especially one with three Zs in it. It needs another E and maybe a U.

Unless, of course, having an unpronounceable last name is supposed to add to his intrigue. Is this man a dashing rogue?

I wonder if it's a bad sign that the only thing that shocks me in the pronunciation is that the R disappeared!
Although I guess I'm not sure were the T sound came from either.

Reminds me of how everyone mispronounced Czentovic in high school when we were studying Schachnovelle (I love that book by the way).

I'd say "chen-toe-vick". That, or "chen-toe-vitch". How wrong am I?

Everyone pronounced it in their own way. I don't think we ever established the "right" one, but I know I said "Shen-toh-vik". No clue how close it is.
