Appendix:
Information about some of the people discussed in this article, in order of appearance


Hey kids! You might not have any idea who the people I just talked about were! In this cut out and keep section, you’ll get all the information you need. Keep it with you at all times, and use it as a conversation starter at dinner parties or games industry shindigs. Yeah!

Chris van der Kuyl (VIS Entertainment) has won loads of Young Enterprise awards and is ‘acknowledged widely as one of the leading young entrepreneurs in Scotland’. His dad is a millionaire and part of the Scottish Executive’s Enterprise division. I’m sure those two facts are completely unrelated, as anyone responsible for ‘State of Emergency’ is clearly excellent.

Aleks Krotoski (Journalist) is going to University this September. I think she’s hot.

Seamus Blackley (CEG Games) has a paper published in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance.

Shannon Elizabeth is “incredibly competitive”.

Jez San (Argonaut) has met the Queen, and I forgot to mention him.

Yannis Mallat (Prince of Persia: Sands of Time) spent 3 years in West Africa providing humanitarian aid.

Peter Monyneux (Lionhead) lost a girlfriend because he’d rather play ‘Wizardry’ than meet her in the pub.

Shigeru Miyamoto likes to play the Banjo.

Harry Gregson-Williams did the music for ‘The Tigger Movie’.

Hideo Kojima is ‘a really cool cat’.

Barrington Pheloung did the music for ‘Inspector Morse’.

Clive Downie (EA Canada) is not Canadian.

David Gosen (Nintendo Europe) is not a robot.

David McCarthy (EDGE) didn’t like the cocktail he bought.

Gary Penn (Denki) once had a Pilonidal sinus on his arse.

Ste Curran (EDGE) is known as ‘Captain Padlock’ to the Edge forum.

--Mathew Kumar is not a c**t.
