I was going to attend, but had a nasty cold and didn't feel like fanboys mistaking me for a Dead Rising booth babe, the only photographic evidence I have seen on Flickr is of cosplayers and lanboys. My brother is facing the same predicament when he graduates; to move or not to move. He's currently working on developing his own game while doing his last year (and not sleeping because of it) and plans to tinker with that a bit when he graduates and then move east or overseas. You could always go nuts and move to Asia or US of gun A. Was Go3 any good?

It was basically a bunch of mish-mash nerd-related shit jammed together in a giant, poorly lit room which was drowned with constant doof-doof music. It was part games expo, part manga convention, part LAN, part extreme sports event, part home entertainment expo and part rave party, and succeeded at being none of them. Say good luck to your brother for me! The final year project is the hardest. I hope he has a good, dedicated team - he's going to need it.

Where we have all the appropriate leads, we're staffing up the full team already. In some areas we don't have all the leads we want and there's no point lurching off in some random direction without the appropriate skills being in place, so we're not building up those teams yet. So, no guarantees about your particular skillset but we definitely are hiring over a range of experience levels and will continue to do so. If you're not successful in applying for a particular position, you might want to either apply for another or work on buffing up those specific skills that we have listed at http://www.interzonegames.com/jobs -Rj Hi Tim,

If it's any solace, my degree is also of the kind with remarkably few job prospects in Perth (unless I were to bow before the ever-generous hand of the State Government) and so I'm also staving off the inevitable move eastwards (be that Sydney, or across the Pacific). On the other hand, university jobs are cushy! I'd advise holding on to such a job for as long as humanly possible, if not longer! (At least until it liquifies your brain, which took 2.5 years for me.) Hey wow, job offers on your own blog, nice work Tim!

Sure, on my transcript it says academic suspension but you can tell they don't mean it. Why's it always so hard to say "I love you"? Anyway, congratulations! Less on the graduating, lotsa people do that, more so on the eating of mega-burger. That I can respect. I felt just like that when I graduated.

The great big leap outward is a gigantic learning experience, and always more than awesome. A friend recently had to choose between promotion or the same job across the world, and everyone who'd travelled (including me) was near grabbing him by the throat and shouting "Move!". And lo, he did, and saw that we were right. Besides, Perth isn't going anywhere - it'll be there when you visit. Go for it!
