Hi guys, me and my friend recently just had a discussion about how important is it to be talkative inside a game industry. To be fair my experience only about 3 years in this industry and I'm on my first ever company now and her is like 6-7 years experience and already work in 2 other company before so total in 3 company.…
yea this industry is a pretty communal social type of job. I think everyone pretty much nailed it on the head, the badass artist who is super quite, never talks never goes for a drink after work and is pretty much forgettable while having amazing art skills will probably be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who…
hmmm thats good to know that on a forum populated by sculpted cocks, chicks with huge gravity defying tits in cyber armor and all sorts of violent video games that having an open/secure view on your own sexuality is looked down ;) also, there was multiple times I was called out for not listing the catalyst that brought me…
Talking more does not equals being more attentive There are plenty of people who don't ever shut up and never listen to anyone but themselves. These freakin chatterboxes aren't needed and often distract and pull people off task with a never ending stream babble. So being a social butterfly can hurt someone just as much as…
I would argue that this sounds to me that it's less about being talkative and more about just simply being social which carries with it a great deal of benefits.

Think about it, you are "talking" in public with us. Being comfortable in your corner is your choice. As a career point of view: You can be a…
@Jackblade - Yeah, during school time I was more worst then now haha, at least from college time I'm able and brave enough to stare a girl right in the eye lol. Agree with you that whatever thing I do just don't let it out as a negative energy to other. And damn, I like the video on the thread u linked there! @Stinkfoot -…
I wouldnt call it a suck it up attitude at all. I would consider it identifying things about yourself and correcting the behavior that is contributing to the qualities about yourself you dont like. people are free to do whatever they want and dont need to "fall in" I was simply giving some personal reference experiences…
I think it's a question of being visible. If people know who you are, you'll be remembered for special jobs or promotions or whatever. Whether that happens through talking a lot or not, the goal is that people don't forget about you while you're over there in the corner with your headphones on. :)
