7
because it's a well -paid job generally it isn't but rather
8

that all things being equal correlates most highly with job satisfaction
10
people get jobs in the computer games industry after degrees in all sorts of subjects.
11
Of course, if you've done a course in graphic design, that'll stand you in good stead, but it's certainly not essential.
12
I myself graduated in economics, and colleagues of mine did history, engineering, and English.
13
The degree itself is less important than the enthusiasm someone brings to the job.
14
It goes without saying that everyone who joins the industry has themselves enjoyed playing games.
15
My parents always told me I spent far too much time on them, so much so that they suggested I put it to good use and apply for work in the industry.
16
My uncle sent me the name of someone he knew at a major games company, so I decided to apply there first.
17
I was lucky enough to get taken on.
18
I didn't have the skills to become a technical programmer, of course, and started as a games tester.
19
That taught me a huge amount, and after six months, I was able to do something more demanding.
20
At first, I was assigned to one of the games the company was then in the process of developing.
21
You may well know it.
22
It's called Jungle.
23
It turned out to be a big seller.

27
After six months, I moved on.

31
There are, of course, many different types of computer games.
32
The company I work for specialises in sports games, skateboarding, motor racing, that sort of thing.
33
However, it's also dabbled in old -fashioned arcade games, and it does some adventure games too.
34
Those are the ones I personally most enjoy working on, though each type of game has its own attractions, of course.
35
Anyway, I'd certainly recommend a career in computer games.
36
I'd say mine has been very satisfying.
37
not as financially rewarding as some of you might like but that's not the main thing is it
38
when preparing for this talk i asked some of my colleagues how they would sum up their careers
39
the most common word they used was challenging but i don't feel
40
that that puts a positive enough slant on a career in computer games anyway let me now take any questions

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
