    My proudest moment. Fully playable, native 4K port of TimeSplitters 2 hidden in this arcade machine in Homefront: The Revolution.

    In LEGO Lord of the Rings on PS3, the hobbits shrink. Very, very, very slowly. If you adjust your power settings and leave the game running overnight, they'll only come up to Gandalf's shins.

    Vehicle game, launch title for a console with an AWFUL optical drive. When hitting a boost pickup the drive couldn't keep up with the demands of the world streaming. So we made boost just widen the FOV and apply some *woooooosh* sound effects. The car remains at the same speed.

    As a 15 year+ games programmer with 24 triple-A titles released on every Nintendo, Microsoft, and PlayStation machine under the sun, neither I nor anyone else in my field has *ever* used "teraflop" as a unit of measurement of any kind. Just drop the word, it's utterly meaningless

    For the love of God, please stop putting progress bars on your CVs. You can't 100% C++ like it's Uncharted 4.
