Here are some answers to common questions:
I get this question by email at least twice a week. When you are a writer/director/producer, you end up working on a lot of really lame projects - like canned soup, light bulbs, blood pressure medication and crap breakfast cereals. So working on video games was a welcome relief, and became my full time job in 2006, after years of working freelance on games. There is a perception, however, that because interactive entertainment is fun, that it's not loads of hard work. Literally hundreds of people gave over 2 1/2 years of their life to make GTA4. Others were working on it for over 3 years. Is it fun? Absolutely. That's what keeps you going when you've been working nights and weekends for as long as you can remember. It's a massive sacrifice that some who expect to go home at 5pm aren't ready for.
Yes. Send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to Radio Lazlow PO BOX 821 Long Beach NY 11561 and include whatever you want signed and it will be sent back to you with some nonsense scribbled on it.
Yes. I have one name, as was the custom in my land among my peoples. Once I was circumcised in the woods by the village elders, they gave me this name and a roll of quarters, and the rest is history.
I have no idea.
The Technofile was a labor of love and was my main career for over 12 years. However I am writing, producing and directing for video games full time now, so I signed off the Technofile in July of 2007.
No, I worked on the radio, TV, web and billboards in the game. The amazing game engine and story was all done by my colleagues at Rockstar. You'd have to ask them or pick up one of those Brady Games manuals.
No. And if I did, I'd certainly keep my trap shut so that I can keep making video games for a living.
Yes, I know. It's awful. But updating a website is really boring when I could be flying my remote control helicopter or bodyboarding on a fat wave or mountainbiking.
