Great read, thanks. The key standout for me is the power of networking - I was lucky enough to have that drummed into my head by the producers at my first gaming gig. No matter how nervous you might be when first reaching out, it will come in handy when you want to step past the next wo/man for a plum assignment.
Ha. When I was a bouncer on south beach years ago, my boss would go off this shit! He'd get plastered and tell tales of cloning factories. "Chickens" born with no feathers, beaks or feet..just this gelatinous, yet, semi sold goo. Obviously, the USDA/FDA required them to change their name to KFC.I would like to hear more about this.
I have a date next week guys,
Wish me luck
I wish I was in them panties yesterday thoe.
Ethopia jokes? Did i fall through a timewarp? Will I need my pogs?
Question especially for the game industry brothers here:
Would you have any advice for a 13 year old black boy who is interested in pursuing a degree in gaming and working for the game industry?

Where in fucks name did manners go? I mean shit is turning into borderline racism in this mother fucker. I'm out getting my girl some sweets and maybe because I'm running on 3 in 48 and a little sensitive but I'm two steps away from checking these jerky boys in this goddamn restaurant.
And now I know I'm subconsciously being an ass. I'm sitting in the only aisle blocking their path and making them go around me because of their prior rudeness.
I am an eloquent person and these fuckers are on the verge of breaking my calm. And then on top of that some old guy trying to make conversation with me.
So I was in KFC getting cookies.(I will take that L begrudgingly, my lady loves them) and you know when you pass by someone within a certain radius its common to say excuse me/pardon me etc. Well this motherfuckers have no goddamn manners. Kept invading my personal space. TWICE. Well I got that ass back. I sat in the middle of the aisle and when he tried to walk pass me, I stuck my motherfucking leg out in front of his girl, kids and his damn friend. And when he looked down at me I looked at him and mouthed the words "Say something". He for the rest of the time I was there walked all the fucking way around the restaurant. Thats when the old dude approached me about some conspiracy bullshit about KFC no longer using the word chicken in the ads and that the meat was from clones. I shit you not.
I am not responsible for this. But I should partake in the conversation to fuck with the notion.
I'll parrot advice I've received elsewhere: Whatever disciplines he's interested in - programming, design, art, 3d modeling, animation, sound design, whatever - just learn everything you can about them. Practice creating playable things that showcase your creative strengths, create as much as you possibly can, and be prepared to show your best stuff off - game companies tend to care less about gaming degrees and more about ability, so you have to prove that you can actually make things that work because they will test you on that.
There's a thread here on indie game development with links to game development tools, some of which can be used free of charge: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=491431 There's a free game creation tool coming out for XboxOne/360/Windows8 later this year called Project Spark which is geared towards easy visual design and learning coding logic for people who want to just get their feet wet, and it's currently beta testing right now and is open to the public.
My tag came from this.
Only way to argue with Onemic is over Skype. Monica too swoll to be having debates with in person.
Edit: Was confusing Onemic with Immortal. Some of Rio's MD must have gotten in the Ga water supply.
