Oh yeah?
This thread got weird.
Thanks! Let's hope that's true...
Haha, it really is. I'm not going to wish you luck, I really don't think you need it.

I think it'd go better with your picture.
I thought about Game Writing myself ala Chris Avellone (who I think is a fantastic writer), but I decided against it after getting my A.A. in English. I'll recommend you this book though. I have it and I think it's fantastic. These guys know their stuff even though they're not known in the game industry as the Houser brothers are. There's a bunch of exercises they recommend you do (primarily keeping a journal). Good stuff all around.
As for my dreams, honestly I have absolutely no idea. I got an A.A. in English as I mentioned and I'm a decent writer but then I realized it's hard to become a writer ala Junot Díaz, one of my favorite writers who I admire and respect. I'm scared of the future honestly because of the state of the economy. Especially in the U.S. where BA's get frowned upon ("You won't get a job," statistics, and all that other crap) and particularly here in New York where good jobs, and internships are extremely competitive. New York's "every man for himself" mentality is particularly depressing, and it sucks.
I met Jeremiah Slackza AKA Jackson here a couple of years ago at the Scribblenauts launch party at Nintendo World with a couple of GAF'ers and just talking him about how passionate he was about the game industry was fantastic as well as Marius, his Technical Director. In that same event, I met Stephen Totilo who told me that he got his Masters in Journalism. I'm still figuring it out, but I'll admit, I love reading about the game industry and learning how it works. I mean yeah CliffyB makes enough money to own a Lambo and a Mercedes, but the guy's a genius and he worked his ass hard to learn how to program from the age of 12.
I also met Rey Jimenez from Capcom (currently the Producer for RE: Racoon City) and got his business card once at one of Capcom's Fight Club events about 2 years, but I've been scared of contacting him. The card is still in my wallet.
I'd like to join the game industry and possibly make my own games some day ala Jackson or become a graphic novelist and possibly draw/write a graphic novel idea that I have. There's so many ideas that I have in my head that I'd like to draw out and write. I'd like to make my own documentary some day, travel to other countries if I manage to land a decent a job out of college; so many dreams.
Right now, I'm pursing my Bachelor's in Studio Art (I have a second passion which is to draw; it's expensive). Tomorrow, I'm gonna declare a second major in New Media; particularly, either Animation or Game Design; I'm excited because my college's Media Studies department just made these concentrations last semester. I know of a website of where to meet people who work in the NYC game industry. It's appropiately called http://www.nycgameindustry.com.for anyone who lives in NY/NJ and is interested. They have a meet and greet this Friday and every month. I've just been scared to take the steps into the future despite knowing how to get there.
From time to time, I've been volunteering at a non-profit organization dedicated to the arts (Theatre, free continuing education courses) when I'm not busy as full time student. It builds up my resumé, and as I've said before, I worked at Comic Con gathering work experience to add to my resumé as well meet new people. I'm also fluent Spanish, so that always gives me a leg up when it's needed.
Any way thanks for reading guys; I really appreciate it. It feels good talking about my dreams even though I'm unsure about them.
TL;DR: My dreams and uncertainties in a nutshell. I want to go into the game industry but I'm hesitating about acting on it.
well there's already a JIZZ SHOT variant of my picture, a wine one would be okay.

Overcame laziness of getting rid of my Christmas avi and thought I might as well join in on the real-ness. Huzzah!
If you're really serious about it, you should start small and work your way up. Get in on small indie projects for games, or do a webcomic for getting into graphic novels. It can be hard to stick with it, I know, but it is good to start small and start early.

I wish I could do a webcomic, but I have no art skills.

I've wanted to do one too, but though I can draw and have good ideas the execution of my stories always lacks something vital.

At some point when we have some free time, we should bat some ideas around, if you think a collaboration could work.
I'm not bad at writing, I've just always lacked the art talent to do it.
Honestly, I would love to. I think it's much easier to work together with someone else on that sort of thing than just by yourself. Otherwise it's too easy to lose focus on what you're doing.

That doesn't stop some people.
Hahaha, so sadly sadly true. Though some artists start out bad and eventually become pretty good, there are others that are bad and keep being bad without remorse.
This thread has been so awesome so far. Meeting new people, applying for jobs, talking about collaborations. What can't this thread accomplish!? Maybe next we'll see a relationship spark
that would be awkward

Sounds like a plan! I've been trying to get some of my other friends in to the idea of collaborating on webcomics, but they simply never get motivated for it. Having another person motivate you by working together sounds ideal.

I don't think he likes me after the things I've said about Fire Emblem. :x

Why would you say something bad about Fire Emblem
I'm going for Devo and her binoculars.
Who knows what they're getting up to in that closet.

My favorite FE game, bar none.
I'd give Radiant Dawn the edge, just because it has more missions.
Otherwise, PoR is better in pretty much everything else. It was my first entry, and I've played every FE released in the US since.
