"Grrrr.........Damn It!"

I can't believe that somewhere in the world people, very lucky people, are actually playing Gamecube Games...whether it be Rare employees or Shigsy himself someone is....and I, we, have got to wait 31 hours 20 days and 54 minutes until we even get a glimpse of one of the games...hopefully I will be able to get a good connection up and see the whole things as it unfolds but still, before I or any of us play Mario or Dinosaur Planet, Zelda or Waverace we have got a year to wait give or take...I don't even think Banjo-Tooie will keep me going that long!

The Game

look on the eidos website.

Yeah fair enough but what about the DC version?

is it comin out?

thats my review of the game, and remember I have spent more time on this game then ANY other and I am sooo sick of it that I could actually be sick if I had toplay it again,okay then 8/10. that is probably better.

yes we know your in the credits, but 3/5!!!
I was really lookin forward to it but now gettin a insider to tell me the truth has put me back.

Oh is it still comin out for the DC?

I completed the first 4 times so i prob will buy the sequl whatever it get in the mags.

I would personally say 3/5? but the credits deserve 5/5.

Seein as youve played it, is soul reaver 2 any good, i loved the first one.

I am very sad to say that I have been assigned to WWTBAM2. wha??

games programmer1:so what do you suggest

er-no: umm....apart from to stop making it?

games programmer1: look, we have been over this hundreds of times, we have to release this, so all those stupid people buy it.

er-no: yes but it ruins the market.

games programmer1: yes but it makes EIDOS money,

er-no: fine then, I QUIT.

games programmer2: what you going to do now.

er-no: work for Nintendo. after leaking all the screen shots to everyone about TR5

games programmer1: look just take this money and shut up, go play Soul Reaver 2.

er-no: yeah, the credits. 'Joby Stephens' thats my name.

Any idea to what games you'll be testing er-no?

...By the way, does anyone know about the Thunder Rally leaked pics? I'm going head over heels trying to find them...

its not easy to explain, I am given the different games, or I work on a whole game along with everyone there, at the moment the final stage of SR2, probably the easy thing is making a suggestion, the hard thing is finding a glitch, sometimes it is best not to find them as it could delay release and then you have to write up a long report on how it would affect..etc

you can see now why there are glitches in games, because people like me just can't be arsed to do anything about them, they are called safe glitches to the people I test with, they wont harm the gamers game or play but are just little tweaks that would only happen on a rare occasion.

Well if you're Irish you have no place in the games industry because it isone that is moving FORWARD, NOT BACKWARDS...

SORRY! That was joke, I bet you have heard it enough, I am sorry.

There are bound to be games testers in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Okay so you don' want to travel far but for me I would be willing to travel 24 miles to test Banjo-Threeie.....

Just have a look search for some Irish developers, there has got to be some.


And for anyone who is reading all this and is thinking that "the games industry won't have people like me....I live in so and so or I have this disability or that probalem" YOU ARE WRONG, there is place for many people in the games industry, you can have one of many jobs, to TV programme hosting to games developement. if you want to work in the industry you can...just find out where!
