I dropped out of my degree in Graphic design at Colchester University in England. I didn’t want to do it anymore because I felt it wasn’t me, I didn’t have it in me to sell lifestyles to you all and myself. There are also far too many people doing it already and I didn’t feel like competing where my passion was vacant. It just so happened that a friend of mine just quit a testing job at Warner Brothers in Euston London, and the job hadn’t been posted yet. So I mailed the guy he named and sent my wishes to be a geek full time (I am fully proud of my gaming geek status). I was, after a longer pause that I would have liked (8 weeks), given an interview. I did the only thing I could at the time…I went out and bought new Batman socks from the Warner Brothers store and wore them to my interview. From the first minute the interview was less about the job and more about Batman.

Yes, that is how I started in this industry by knowing about Batman and wearing Batman socks. More to this story in later posts but the first game I ever touched as a tester was…………’Sensible World of Soccer’ on the Amiga!
