Simon Cooke lurks. Sometimes.

from GameDev Unsung Heroes · host Jake Simpson

Simon Cooke, originally of Your Sinclair magazine, show runner for XFest and now of Google, talks about how he came to be a developer, his life in Seattle, and good hangover cures. Simon is one of those developers who tends to stay in the background, but I can guarantee that almost any gamer has seen his work. When working at ATG, his influence and expertise allowed many XBox games to ship better than they ever would have been, and now he's doing the same thing at Google, for Android.
