It's CHRIIIIISTMAAAAAAS..... in a couple of days!

It has been quite a year, with highs and lows personally and across the industry; yet somehow we manage. Spare a thought for anyone struggling this festive season, and remember that even the ones who seem to be doing well might be struggling in their own way.

ALERT! Only one more QAuDHD until Christmas!

This week I have a mild heart-attack at work, stay up until the early hours of the morning pushing buttons, and offer my 2c on the best way to make sure your console builds are compliant.

Two more QAuDHD's until Christmas!

I assume that's how you're all counting down the days, right? This week I'll be briefly ranting about why I don't like exams and how tests can be misinterpreted, before following that theme over into how test cases can be misinterpreted, before closing out with some thoughts on familirization and hand-overs when rotating your team.

Happy first Monday of December!

Working from home makes it all-too-easy to just "power through" those days where you're feeling rough, because you figure you can still sift through emails and Slack messages, hold it together enough for a 15 minute meeting, and generally get a few bits done while you relax on the sofa (pretty much my normaly working day anyway).

This week I talk about why I'm proud of myself for calling in sick (sort of) last week, and the sorts of things you should be analysing when performing a game quality retrospective.

Happy Monday, everyone!

Last week I confused everyone with my foward thinking reminsicning on looking back at... sorry, I'm doing it again. This time I'll be making things a lot clearer by talking about when you might do Grey Box testing on Grey Box levels and when you might do Gry Box testing on NON-Grey Box levels... or indeed testing with other colour names. Simples!

Good Monday, everyone! Looking forward, I imagine we'll look back on recent events and wonder how far back things went wrong. Yet, looking back, I've realised that I look forward to looking back on things, especially with a view of learning and developing, in order to move forward stronger than before.

Anyway, now that's been cleared up, let's get into today's issue! As always: please share, drop in comments and let me know your thoughts/suggestions for future topics.

Last week was... intense, huh?

This week, I'm focussing on some bad advice and straight up lies we're told as kids. Then in a less-related-than-I'd-like main topic I'll be giving a brief overview of Compliance in videogames, why it's important and why, despite how important it is, it's often left to the last minute.

That title is a quote! Don't hate me...

Now then - normal service resumes this week, as I'm finally over that horrible cold (the audio version of last week's episode has been added for anyone who needs it - sorry for the delay!). This week I'm talking about how things can get easily lost in translation, both at work and in general, following a particulalry akward encounter with a member of staff at the hotel I was staying at last week.
