http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1871615/

I ended up getting an art department credit as a mission designer of all things. :-)

The IMDB lists some computer games.  Many years ago I worked on KKND2 (don’t ask what the acronym stands for).  The game even reached number one on the bestselling charts in Germany.  I never actually played the complete game, but I’m sure it must have been ubergood…

Unsurprisingly the most common search term used to reach my web site is “Aidan Doyle”.  I also get a lot of visitors who are looking for maps of Eastern Europe.  My travel entries mean that I get people searching for some odd information about Eastern Europe.  My spam filter also blocks a lot of Russian spam.
