    Khabal Gaming has posted and interview with Black Isle Programmer Danien Chee. He talks about the usual personal history, and work experience, but also about the differences between US gamers and those in his home island of Singapore. Here's a bit on that topic:

    The gaming community in the US is older, much larger, and more vocal. Contrary to popular belief, gamers aren't all pimple-faced teenaged boys sitting in dark rooms with the eerie glow of the computer screen lighting up their evil grins as they bash the next goblin into pulp. According to demographics, most hardcore gamers are between 18-36 years of age. Many are married and hold full-time jobs. The ratio of hardcore gamers to casual gamers is also much larger than in Singapore...

    In Singapore, the community is still pretty young and there aren't many established communities except for a few like Khabal.com. However, the Singaporean gamers do seem to be just as vocal when it comes to games that they are interested in, and it sometimes seems strangely familiar reading posts on message boards from fans. The perennial questions about game release dates, suggestions on how to do this and that, are all pretty much the same from fans all over the world.

    Read the entire interview.
