I got the "playing videogames won't get you a job" talk (funny how that worked out), but as far as working in the industry, I'm sure I'd have their support. I remember making drawings and having little ideas for games. They were pretty supportive of that. My father even helped me write a letter and mail it to Sega about an idea I had for a game (IIRC, I think it was just a Sonic clone lol).

So when college came around, I got into Computer Science because I've been wanting to make games since I was a kid. There wasn't a direct game design curriculum at the school I went to at the time, but I figured Computer Science was kind of something I could apply to all facets of development, so I went with that. By the time a game design course was created, I was already in my final semester.

In the end, I'm not in the gaming industry, but I think if there was a curriculum at the time that directly involved games, they would be fully supportive. My folks never tried to push me toward any particular field.

By "done" do they mean "cancelled?"

I remember a thread where the creative director said in a interview that he has been done with it for awhile and now and the devs are trying to make it "work".

Can't wait for the BTS story on this whole thing

The Nintendo Direct? It was solid.

SSB4 fans got some love. X fans got some love. Bayonetta fans got some love. Monster Hunter fans got some love. People who think Nintendo ain't shit will continue to think Nintendo ain't shit, so in a sense their sensibilities were represented in that Nintendo Direct as well. No new third party announcements.

I would love the other companies to do periodical updates on the progress of their 1st party games.

What games are you looking for?

I hear their international offices are growing, so that could bode well.

For me it was a lack of exposure to Computer Technology and Programming growing up. When I first started college, I was a Computer Science Major with a small intent on working on Video Games. My fam was pretty supportive with my major decision in general. However, when I started to take a few classes about C++, I figured that this was not going to work out. Looking back, I realized that it was done from day 1 as I grew up around an environment where computer science and gaming design was not a thing and even in my University not many Black folks are in the Computer Science major. I think that it comes down to not much knowledge or prep regarding Computer Science/Game Design and that if we had a larger amount of programs available, then we might see more of us working in the field.

So I'm on twitter and my boy sends me the twitter username of some random chick. I don't exaggerate when I say I was about to be on that thirst tip like whoa. This chick is damn beautiful as all the fucks, words can't even express it right now. I almost sent her a message on some real thirst ish before I regained my senses.

Then I found out she's a camgirl. I don't even do cams but I'mma have to see if she on one day >.> I'm about to be like dating-GAF and shit. Writin her like "bb you don't have to do this!"

Lord help me.
