Introduction

So you're developing a game, and somehow you need to think up names for your soldiers. Sure thinking up names for your specialist characters was easy, but what about the other 235 characters in the game? Not so easy. So what's a fast (and fun) way to think up some names? Use you own, that's what the guys and gals at RSE did!

It's a neat little trick really, you're running around in Ghost Recon with teammates named Sonedecker and Stelmack, and you keep asking yourself where you have heard those names before, only to realize that they are infact the developers that made the game you are playing at the moment. They did mix up the names a bit though, the best example would probably be the mix with Darren Chukitus and Robbie Edward. Just switch Darren with Robbie, and Robbie with Darren, and bingo, two new characters. This repeats throughout the rest of the cast as well, one developers last name with another developers first, sneaky.
