Bethesda Softworks - Dev Profile

The latest Inside the Vault dev profile at the Bethblog is programmer Brendan Anthony:

Today’s Inside the Vault is with programmer, Brendan Anthony. He’s not responsible for any specific area or systems, per se - its more like we give him a list of cool stuff we want in the game and he makes it happen.

What’s your job at Bethesda?

The standard job description is “I make things blow up.” I’m a programmer and I work with physics, magic, special effects, and lots of general gameplay code. I’m very lucky in that I’ve been able to implement some pretty sweet features over the years — some days, if you were to hang around outside my cube, you would just hear bursts of laughter erupting over and over as I “test” explosions or crazy physics effects.
