3D Artist.

How long have you been doing this stuff?

Been in this job for about 10 mths, but have been interested for a couple of years.

Crappy text adventures in BASIC

If you could make any game you wanted, what'd it be?

A tactical war game, with a strong element of diplomacy, and a spy network at your disposal.
Hopefully there'd be some other stuff, then it wouldn't be as dead boring as it sounds atm.
Or a sequel to Zack McCracken : )

What are a few of your favourite games?

I'm a big fan of a lot of the RPG's that came out on the SNES.
At the moment (when i have time) i play Planescape:Torment, Icewind Dale and i'm pretty fond of Tony Hawks Pro Skater (for some contrast)

What do you usually do outside of work? (Extra-curricular activities?)

Move heavy things that usually don't want to move. I like it "outside", but the digging uses too many unexercised muscles.

What are a few of your favourite films?

The Shawshank Redemption, Usual Suspects, The Princess Bride always springs to mind, City of Lost Children, Jet Li's "Once Upon A Time in China" movies, Wings of Honneamise (although most people think it's boring for anime)

I think it's time to stop answering this question... 'cuz i'll be going forever.

What was the last film you saw?

Scary Movie.

Is there anything worthwhile on TV?

Now And Again is good, so is the Simpsons, and i occasionally catch Becker.
I'm sure there's heaps on, but i never see any of it.

What kind of music do you listen to?

Alternative, Techno, Classical, Metal... anything and everything, really. The question should be "What kind of music don't you listen to?" A: Alanis Morisette, Britney Speares, Nsync, 5ive etc.

Moby, Pantera, Metallica, The Cure, Mr.Bungle, The Paradise Motel, Powderfinger... on and on it goes...

What's in your home computer rig?

P3-450, 192 RAM, Matrox G400 and a noisy, overworked 250 W power supply.

What electronic 'gadget' do you wish you had?

Just let me fit my house out with 25 Amp cables, and watch me plug everything in without tripping the circuit breaker off.

Or something that could silence unwanted family members within earshot.

What type of car do you drive?

Apply the term "drive" loosely to an unregistered, uninsured Laser that is sitting with a flat battery on my front yard.

What type of car do you wish you drove?

A good ol' ute. Or a truck cab.

Coke or Pepsi?

Coke I spose. It's all good, tho.

Boxers or briefs?

Usually briefs, but i'm prepared for all contingencies.

Thanks Lakin!
