Focusing and Freelancing
Published on Mar 28th, 2009 in Gaming, My Life, School & Work.
I’m going to a focus group at Danish video game company IO Interactive, this wednesday. My friend Simon works there, as a game tester, and he forwarded a mail about it. It’s gonna take 2-3 hours, and I think it’ll be a lot of fun. I’m also about to organize focus groups at school, as part of our semester project, so it’ll be nice to see how the pros do it.
I’ve also been freelancing for SDI Media for a while. They make language dubbing, translations, subtitling, etc. for clients like Sony, Fox, Warner Bros., and Paramount. I’m translating subtitles, and that’s really all I can say, they didn’t make me sign a 5 page confidentiality agreement for nothing.
Oh yeah, my Macbook is making weird creaking sounds when I move my hand around, on the left side, so I probably have to have it replaced. Crap.

Don't expect focus groups to be THAT much fun ;)
I went to some at Deadline Games and it wasn't what I'd hopes it would be. Rather, it was longdrawn and just filled with a lot if cryptic questions because they wouldnt break their own NDA ;)
And I don't envy Simon – game testing is hard :D (Especially if you test a PSP-game on debut-hardware ;) )
Oh, I won't, then. :)
I don't envy Simon either. :D
