10 QUESTIONS WITH…
Geoff Coates: Studio Art Director – Relic Entertainment, Vancouver BC Canada
1. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Whatever I want! That’s a huge lie. I’m sorry. “Whatever I’m told” feels more accurate. I’m pretty much an Omega dog. Also I art direct video games. Which basically means saying things like “Make the explosion more explosier” and “Is it too late to build some 3D nipples on the models? Call of Duty had that, right?” I’m super creative.
2. WHY DO YOU DO IT?
I don’t know, why do you ask invasive questions? Is it a calling of yours? Something you’ve always wanted to do? Living your dream, are you?? (Doesn’t feel very good on the business end, does it?)
3. READING WATCHING PLAYING ANYTHING GOOD LATELY?
No. I’m basically in cryogenic sleep waiting for Boardwalk Empire to come back. Everything else is hot garbage water.
4. BEST GIG EVER?
“Gig”?? Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize we were all a bunch of “hepcats” being “cool to the scene”. Wait, let me go smoke my “reefer cigarillo” and I’ll “scat” you some “verbiage”, “daddy-o”.
5. WHAT SCARED YOU AS KID (PLACE, MONSTER, THING, FOOD, ETC)?
Two words: Mom’s home.
6. GOT ANY SIDE PROJECTS GOING ON?
“Overheard on Facebook” on the MSN video network! Go watch it, marvel at my creative brilliance, then go name your dog after me!
7. STAR WARS OR STAR TREK?
Do you mean, which one would I want to set on fire first? Tough call.
8. WHO DO YOU WANT TO HAVE DINNER WITH AND WHY?
I don’t know. Gore Vidal? Isn’t that who people answer this question with, so they sound all smart? Sure. Gore Vidal. He makes good shampoo, so why not. He better goddam well pay for dinner though, with all that shampoo money.
9. GUILTY PLEASURE?
Your mom. BOOOM!!!!
10. PARTING THOUGHTS?
“Parting thoughts”?? What the hell kind of question is THAT? I just gave you nine answers spun from pure GOLD, and now you want another one? And you can’t even bother to come up with a real question?? Is this like an encore? I’ve CLEARLY left the stage, and you’re just standing out there, like a dummy in the dark, waving your cell phone in the air and yelling for me to come back and entertain you some more. What a lame idea. I HATE encores.
So I guess that’d be my Parting Thought: Encores are stupid.
