England, halfway between Birmingham and London. I guess I can't complain, it's not too bad. Plenty of stuff to do, bars/restaurants are good, loads of live music, the local shopping areas are actually quite good. I'm fortunate to live very close to a number of game studios. Blitz Games and Freestyle Games (DJ Hero) are 5…
Belarus crappest country ever. seriously.) Cold winters hot summers. Slow and expensive internet and yeah, did I mentiоn the dicktatоrship? If the cop think you're talking too loud with your buddy on the street he can first punch you and then ask you to be quiet(saw it with my own eyes). You go to Jail for insulting the…
I'm American (the fat, important kind). I've lived here my entire life, and I want to leave. Problem being, family and friends, though i'm sure they'd understand. How are things where all of you live?
Denmark, probably the country with least ammount of game studios? Other then that I kinda like it here. Fine living standards, "low" ammount of criminals and pretty good laws that ensures that people aren't exploited by their employers. edit: the weather sucks though.
Live in England. Lived in norway. I'm Swedish (and I lived there too). Maybe a bit negative but eh! :) Norway. (Oslo) Hot chicks that love your wallet if it's padded enough to warm yourself with. Many of them are also amazingly stupid. Think paris hilton but european. Cold and dark like sweden. Shit expensive. It's so…
Australia has a games industry. There's at least as many companies in Australia as Singapore. Although Singaporean companies are more likely to have openings at the moment. Although one of the reasons I'm currently living in the US is because of the small size of the games industry in Australia. So I get what you mean. The…

not my experience. i just wouldn't expect them to really make an effort and speak english unless they're required to. i certainly remember working at a certain games developer where the non-german speakers were quite isolated because of this. tbh, i would expect the same to be true for most countries that don't use english…
English guy reporting in! I'll back up some of what C22 said, the UK is expensive as fuck. I do drink, and I'll confirm that alcohol is pretty expensive too... but delicious. Its true that the nightlife is famously rough - in the UK going out for a drink means binge drinking. Drinking in general means binge drinking. That…
