Hello, I'm Sam.

Here's a quick introduction so you've got an idea about who the heck I am...

I work for SCEE in Liverpool as part of the External Development department. My lofty and exciting job title is Senior Community Development Manager, which is pretty thrilling, but probably quite meaningless.

What this means in practise is that I am responsible for working with external developers who are partnered with SCE in order to help them create the kinds of features that gamers will like. Less, in-game features, more giving early thought to the extra odds and ends that are sometimes tacked on. In terms of LittleBigPlanet this is most regularly used in moderating content, helping decide which features LBP fans will care about most and giving you guys a voice when it comes to what extra content is designed after the game comes out.

I also get to do fun stuff like helping out fansites *cough, tomorrow*, organising competitions and in-game events, and taking LBP and other games to gamer events. I've also been known to come up with ideas for the official trailers for LBPs... you'll see some of my work coming out of Germany this week.

I work very closely with both Media Molecule and the producers at SCE to make sure that they're always thinking of you guys first, and I am responsible for ensuring that any important information about the game (more than "It's gonna be cool!!!!!") is delivered to the fans as quickly as possible.

I'm a Brit, I'm 35 and my favourite all-time game is probably Civilization, although right now I'm playing LBP as much as possible!

I'm glad you decided to check us out. Seriously, Sony and Media Molecule are the only two I know who care about their fans as much as this. Welcome!

For any of you doubters(why would you even exist?), here's his full profile. (http://www.linkedin.com/in/sambennett) It even lists one of his aliases as "protagonist".2008-08-19 02:03:00
