Etiquette. It may seem old fashioned, and maybe some of the ways that
etiquette is thought of are antiquated, but there is still a reason why
it is around. Etiquette here at Insomniac Games includes "Coffee
Etiquette”… if you finish the pot, you start another one. If you are
the person brewing the coffee, you get the first cup, plain and simple.
We have people here who want to set up a coffee-cam to shame those who
do not abide by these rules…. But I think that may be taking it a bit
far… but just maybe. There are also certain ways to handle situations,
certain standards that should be considered when job hunting,
interviewing and finally accepting (or declining) an offer as well, and
that is where this blog comes in handy! Since I meet with most of the
candidates who come in to the Burbank office, I run into a lot of
questions about what to do for an interview, what to wear, how early is
too early, what is too formal, what is too casual, and what is
expected? The examples and answers ... Read more »

While fans may know Sly Cooper best for his sneaky and stealthy exploits on PlayStation 2, his latest heist will be on PlayStation 3 this fall in The Sly Collection with three re-mastered classics in HD…for less than the price of most retail games!

Now that the
dust has settled from E3 2010, you might be wondering what all of us
here at Insomniac HQ thought of the show. Well this is the blog post for
you! Over the three days of E3, lots of various Insomniacs wandered the
floor and checked out everything from Rage, to the 3DS to PlayStation
Move (ok, so we probably have a couple of those around the office to
play with too).
We asked everyone here to tell us what they liked the most at the
show. What stood out to a group of jaded game developers? Read on to
find out!
Giac Veltri, Tools Programmer (who is so
into ModNation Racers, he made the Dead Space car pictured above!):
My favorite game at E3 was Vanquish. First, I had no idea it even
existed. Second, it looked awesome. Third, the demo was a lot of fun -
action-packed and full of spectacle. Plus, it's in the sci-fi shooter
genre, which is something that I'm always int... Read more »
