Back in 2010 I finished one of the best games I’ve ever played. With my OOO on for a few days, I was meant to be working through the backlog… really shouldn’t have installed this the other day. Here we go again 🤦🏻♂️🐴

I always spend 5-10-minutes speaking to participants when booking them in for a project. My last call lasted 27-minutes... 5 to rescreen and provide all relevant information, followed by 22 talking about our mutual love for Disney world and sharing tips! 😂

20 years in GUR recruitment has taught me that blind recruitment’s tough, but it’s the right way to do things. So watching competitors list all the games applicants must have played is both infuriating and deeply disappointing. Starting to lose the will 😔🤦🏻♂️

Remote playtesting is fast and flexible, but clients often tell us the same thing: nothing beats the lab. Real-time interaction and spotting expressions you’d miss remotely bring a depth that’s hard to replicate.

Super Mario World on the SNES was the first game I ever finished on my own, and it’s still one of my all-time favourites. Now I’m actually standing in the Mushroom Kingdom. Wahoo! 🍄⭐
