I do lots of different things at work, web design, graphic design, animation, and programming - I have to turn my hand to whatever is required, and I seem to be working on something different every day - it’s great. One of my favourite jobs though is working on video games. I tend to have a game project going on all the time, it’s something I can do when everything else is finished.
The games that I work on are generally games that lack something graphically, I get to take the basic game and turn it into something more playable and attractive. Below I have outlined a few of the more recent games that have been released, the ones I’m most proud of.

I found out about ZUG today (via another blog that I can’t remember right now - sorry). There are a few amusing stories on there but the one being linked to was this - The Powerbook Prank.
The gist of the story is that MyNameISJeff (the author of the story) was selling a Mac laptop (powerbook) on ebay and someone tried to scam him. He realised what was happening so instead of giving the scammer the computer sent him a ring binder which, when opened, showed a picture of a screen on one side and a bunch of keyboard keys stuck to the other.
