PDS is happy to present:
My name is: Henrik Valter Vogelius Hansson
My forum nick is: Groogy
At Paradox Development Studio I work as: Programmer
So what do I do, really – what does that mean? Have you seen Battle Programmer Shirase? Pretty much that.
I have worked on: Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis 4.
Right now I´m working on: The secret expansion for Crusader Kings II.
My best moment at Paradox Development Studio: The moment I signed the contract and realized I would work with the people I have admired for so many years. :)
I have decorated my desk with: Post-it's of stuff I have to do. And a gold-star from Regina.
What motive do you have on your coffee cup: Markipliers Warfstache
What did you do before working at PDS: I worked at an indie studio called Defrost Games.
The most important thing in the world for me: My little baby girl (An African Pygmé Hedgehog)
Little known fact about a Paradox Development Studio game: If you play as Skåne in Crusader Kings II and conquer all of Sweden, people at the office get pissed when you try to show it off to them...
Bonus knowledge: No one in the office call me by name, everyone just refers to me as the Dane.
Personal motto: "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

Not true. I say "danskjävel".

I have often heard it said that Swedes and Norwegians make fun of the way Danes talk, claiming that they can't get speak clearly enough to be understood by anyone.
If true, that must hinder communications. . . .
But "Hansson" is a Swedish name, no?

I've lived my entire life in Sweden, though in Skåne which some people here in Stockholm refer to as Denmark. Then I also have danish heritage. My moms maiden name is Mikkelsen.

For Konge og Fædreland! Scandinavia shall once again be ours!

A Dane I knew once said Swedes were seen as a little slow, and couldn't get jokes etc. Is it the case, Groogy?

If you ever need to escape his watchful eye, I hear meatballs is like catnip to the Svenske. Just hidea trail of them and make a beeline for the nearest fire escape while they rummage through the cubicles like truffle pigs. :happy:

But as we all know the Swedes are completely bonkers - I mean who names icicles and windows the same thing? "Yes, I'd like a waffle with window panes in it - Vanilla and chocolate flavour please"

If a dane told the joke I'm guessing no one would get it.
