Job
After multiple strokes of luck, and with the help of a friendly fellow-Kiwi recruitment consultant, I managed to score myself an interview with a game company here in Sydney called Team Bondi.
Unfortunately, my luck didn't hold out. After passing their C++ and games test with an (apparently) outstanding 68%, and having a quick interview that seemed to go fairly well, today I found out that they were not going to bring me in for a 2nd interview.
Better luck next time, I guess.
PS. Maybe when/if I can be bothered I'll post something fairly insightful/interesting at some point in time.. Until then, don't hold your breath.
Wii!
Bob and I went down to the mall this evening to grab some supplies, and to my surprise there was a big ol' Wii display just as you walk in.
Suffice to say, it definitely clinched it for me. Was already planning on getting one, but after seeing it in the flesh - christ it's tiny! - and watching people play with it...
The graphics were good - not PS3 GOOOD - but good enough to not need to dig your eyes out with a spoon, or to not make it difficult to imagine that things are as the games says they are.
All in all, looked VERY awesome, and if you want to have lots of fun this xmas, go with a Wii!
