The glamour! It's one of our Quality Assurance Managers
What do you do at Free Radical?
I'm one of Free Radicals quality assurance managers.
How did you get into the 'biz'?
I spent a whole lot of time playing games and applied.
What was your worst piece of work?
I don't really do bad work, I'm here to spot other people's, but in a previous job as a mechanic I did reverse someone's car out of the garage while the door was closed.? People seemed to think that was pretty bad but I don't know if that counts.
What piece of work are you most proud of?
That's a tough one for me. I'm torn between boarding out my loft and re-fitting my kitchen but if pushed I'll have to go with the kitchen.
Who do you admire?
Anyone who averages less than a 40 hour working week.
Who rips off your ideas?
No one, my ideas are free for the taking.
What was your nickname at school?
Well mostly it was my surname but there was this one weird guy that used to call me 'Radish'.? No idea why, he was just a bit random like that.
What do you think is the best game of all time and why?
It's really hard to name just one game but one of my favourites is Advance Wars or at least any of the Advance Wars series. They're nice and simple and really addictive, I must have clocked up more than 500 hours playing those.
What do you think is the worst game of all time and why?
I don't think it's the worst game ever but I was really disappointed with Fight Night Round 3. It's a beautiful game but it's such a chore to play.
What question are you glad I didn't ask you?
You seem a little tense, would you like a massage?
