I have done tech support for The Sims. You don’t know pain until you try to walk someone through a regedit who doesn’t know that their email address ends in “@aol.com”. I have also done tech support for PlayStation. I once talked to a woman who couldn’t grasp the concept that the repair order in her hand was a copy, and that the original existed in electronic form.

I have tested a bunch of games. You know how NBA Live on the PS3 got cancelled? I was on the test team that assisted in its demise. Do your kids use a Leapster? I tested some stuff on that too.

I’m currently nearing the end of a contract for UI programming on Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn. I’m one of the guys working on text boxes, for quests and such.

I remember when leetspeak was used by actual hackers and software pirates, as opposed to dumbasses in chatrooms.

I once captured 112 Ion Frigates in Homeworld.
