Irrational: Game Development in Australia
   

To be honest, this has nothing to do with RPGs directly and little to do with games in general, other than providing a small insight into the life of one developer. Irrational has posted a <a href="http://www.irrational.com.au/" target="_blank">diary</a> of sorts as Joe McDonagh talks about working at Irrational's Canberra studio (FFv3R, System Shock 2):<blockquote><em>I had the most terrific shock the other day. I switched on the TV and saw a weatherman announce, with considerable glee, that it was going to rain tomorrow. It doesn't happen very often you see. I'm English and I know I've got a hang-up about the weather, but this isn't first time that I've thought that Australia is more than just geographically upside down. <br> <br>I used to be a game developer in Camden Town in London for five years. As the second most expensive city in the world, London is best enjoyed with a fat wallet, which isn't something you associate with game development. After one crunch too many, I jacked in the job, packed up my bags and went to Australia for six months to watch cricket and drink beer.</em></blockquote>
