Interview: Matt Woodley of Domark, on Championship Manager and Football Manager.

For the “Making Ofs” I do for PC Gamer, I always interview too many people. After Miles Jacobsen proved not as forthcoming as I’d hoped, for legal reasons, he recommended I talk to Matt Woodley, who has always worked with the series. And I did.

It's up to you if you have both a sample folder and a portfolio, as they fulfil the same function - providing evidence for the arguments you made in your covering letter. I have both, with slightly difference functions.

Judas book start

Enough. Everyone seems to think I will write one day, why I don’t know. Damn the premonitory bullying. I will start now. Here’s my portent. Here’s my book. So Judas is crying.

In the grim cities of the old middle east, where men are bound by the newfound strictures that seek to uphold societies and hold cities together, where there…

Ideal/Perfect

My ideal of the perfect person then. And my ideal of what I can achieve.

Mashup: Bruegel's Hunters in the Snow (1565) versus Rick Guidice's space colony painting for NASA's Ames Research Center (1975).
It's meant as a satire of some description, which I can't put into words right now because I have a migraine.
