Sega chooses some guy for VP position at Secret Level

by Hudson on August 2nd, 2007

Darrin, the internet. Internet, Darrin.

Right about now you might be wondering “what the hell is Secret Level?” Well, it’s a smallish Sega-owned developer that’s responsible for the new Iron Man and Golden Axe titles now in development.

And who, then, is responsible for Secret Level? Why, newly named vice president Darrin Stubbington of course! 1up.com reports that newcomer Stubbington will be part of an effort to make Secret Level a more Western-oriented developer. Join us here at Sega Nerds as we appraise this man’s abilities strictly on his mug shot.

Hair

Nice. Not balding yet, a little rumpled. Maybe a little windswept? Styled, but not greasy, per se. Neatly trimmed side burns, a class act.

8/10

Attire

Questionable white-on-white with the tie there, Darrin. Otherwise a fairly reasonable ensemble, though for all we know he’s starkers from the waist down.

5/10

Smile

A little cocky, a little sly. No teeth (a wise decision- keeps him from seeming smug). Eyes appropriately narrowed, forestalling that “Oh hey I’m being photographed” look often seen in corporate workers all too often.

8/10

Pose

Good, but could be better. Optimally he’d be facing to the left a bit, eyes at the camera. In this case it would be better to show a little tooth, but he’s making the best of a bad situation here.

7/10

Overall

A fairly well done mug shot, though the white tie definitely brings things down a notch. Suggested tie color for next mug shot: deep red, maybe a burgundy. Something along those lines. Stripes are okay, but let’s not go crazy here. Keep ‘em in the brownish area of the spectrum, maybe toward the lighter end.

7/10

Well, there you have it. Should make a pretty respectable VP all things considered. Go get ‘em, champ!

    Also, is it just me, or is he giving off a Jack Black vibe?

    He sort of reminds me of Rob Lowe back when he was in Wayne’s World.

    Looks like a Jimmy Kimmel relative… perhaps a long lost brother product of an affair with a drunken waitress…

    I also prefer my VP’s bald. No time to comb is more time to think video games!! Peter Moore, J Allard… SOny have theirs… the only company lacking abaldie is Ninty and look at what they have done to the hardcore gamers.

    Hey, you stay away from Reggie and his magnificent head of Chia-hair!

    I don’t actually idolize him or anything, I just realized his hair looks as if seeds were sprinkled on his scalp and given sufficient water over the course of two weeks to become a healthy clump of whatever the hell that is and I needed (NEEDED) to make that joke.
