In 2007 I spent two months working out of the Criterion Games studio in Guildford England (south of London). These are the rock stars behind Burnout, Black, and now Need For Speed franchises. I learned a tremendous amount about what it takes to build world class products and work really hard. The best part about the trip was Erica came along for a mini-vacation (thanks EA!).
I did however make some great friends. On one of my last days in the UK we recorded this video I found randomly this afternoon on my computer. I uploaded it to YouTube and voila.
It’s a little long, but there are some great moments. The British still got it.

Thanks Allen. Glad someone got the humor. Self centered Americans in a British environment never gets old.
