I've got a job!
A mere 8 months after graduation, I've finally landed my dream-job (within reason)...

Working in a games-production house in Leamington Spa.
I'll be making the vehicles for an up-and-coming 3rd-person action game (think ViceCity, loosely..)

Well I'm well chuffed, and just wanted to tell the whole world, or all the important people in it anyway (that's you lot btw)

Also quite a decent salary with good prospect of increase means.... you guessed it... hmm, car shopping!!!!

Congrats.

Remember us fellow PH'ers if you have sneak test copies of new PS2 games that you need opinions on.

Nice one

Every game should have a MINI Cooper S (Dark blue with while roof and wheels) in it! Check my profile if you need a reference car

Congrats too

I was on the rock and roll for 4 years on and off after uni before I got my first proper job, so I know what it feels like

Another car you can check out too, would love to know mine had been used in a game

Welcome to the club! I know exactly the company you're talking about as I turned down a job there a long time ago (they wanted me to work on a Little Mermaid game! Vomit!)

Maya or Max?

incorrigible.. ooh, didn't know they did chimera's with the new style lights.. veyyyy nice! another one for the list then

se6b.. not the company you're thinking of..
the one I'm with haven't released a game yet.. they're a bunch of ex-codemasters people who set up their own company.. they have good backing though!

alan420.. try Eidos, I went for a games-testing interview there. they are in Wimbledon. very swanky offices etc, and they seem to be hiring quite a bit.

thanks again for all the support you guys.
