I've been commissioned to write a careers guide to the games industry. I'm now looking for 21 people working in games, or just starting out – each in a different job role...level designers, artists, animators, PR and marketing, production, testing etc. So if you know of anyone who might be happy to feature in the book (which simply means answering some questions by email and supplying a few photos), do let me know. Pass the word around too.
They can be based anywhere in the UK.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Oh, DS. Whilst I appreciate and am often amused by your filthy, filthy mind, this reply has made you look rather like a teenage boy sitting in his bedroom desperately trying to get laid. You've also made us look like any other games forum on the internet where any female is immediately accosted by said teenage boys and we're a cut above that. Usually.
Anyway, welcome aboard Rebecca, good luck finding people.
Soz mate, I've sorted out my build up now.
Also, she didn't send a pic, so crack on lads.

I should be banned from threads like this tbh, too much estrogen.

I for one approve of DS's contribution. I like a good joke, and without it this thread may well have sunk without a trace. Good show DS.
I feel sad for OP. She will come in here think 8 people have contributed with something to her book, and all she gets is this. :(
Hope - 5

I agree, but it's only once you get to know DS that you realise that it's a joke. As a first reply to a first post from a new member of the forum, there is no way for anyone to know t's a joke.
Only if she's got no experience of internet forums at all.
Yes, he's a white knight.
Heaven forbid that we help contribute towards something that would be beneficial to the thing we all love, and come here to talk about.
If we keep posting, would the level of her disappointment scale with the total number of posts? Someone should do a graph.
Wait, won't that just be two lines matching each other? Someone should teach me math.
I didn't see any mention of the 'Blum anywhere in the OP.
anyone want my number? we can swap sexy pics

ahaha yeah, I read his post with a Chicago accent. Math on rye.

Ha, I did type that out Webbins, but I thought Math went better with Graph. It was a mistake to think so, I've let my country, my family and most importantly my forum down, and for that I offer my sincerest apologies.
What kind of sweaty semi-cadaver would work in videogame development now, I mean come on
Never the ones on the cover, is it.
Well, sod it. I missed my chance at being in the initial wave of the av'in a larf crew.
Write her a whimsical poem with a self taken Internet cunt pic. See how that goes. Failing that, invent a new alphabet in an effort to outdo Escape.

Hi Rebecca. This careers guide, can you tell us a bit about the benefits of contributing, if there are any? Who'll read it?
I realise you may have decided to never come back here by now.

Can't think why, everyone has been so welcoming.
Thanks for the tips Lawrence. But I think i'll just leave the masters to it.
No worries, any concerns contact me on 07972 167945 (24hrs)

Handmade Parade could change my life! Is it impossible for you to NOT be helpful?
I did a HND in Samba Drumming.

I might be wrong, but we only have one guy here who actually works for a console developer right?
And we have 3, maybe 4 people who do iOS development.

You're not doing a good job. You haven't tested my patience once.
