Films was always, well, what I loved first as a kid was films.

Older, began reading books properly aged about eight, was watching films long before that.

Nice.

And then probably it was always bouncing between the two, which I preferred.

I think they could at different things.

Games, I played and above all watched a lot of games as a kid, as being a young kid and, you know, other people playing them.

And I obviously liked the core thing games do, which is you press a button and something happens.

They're responsive.

They're alive.

And that's captivating.

And then the competitive angle of games is fun.

Or beating this, beating that, winning this.

That was fun as well.

Sometimes obsessively so.

I remember being completely addicted.

At one point when I should have been studying for months at a time to Tetris on a Game Boy.

I liked games and I liked interactivity and I liked the movement to this digital world that's really emerged for me pretty much as soon as I left college.

But I didn't love it.

And then I really fell in love with games when I was properly making them probably as late as like 2001.

Oh, wow.
