Merus Posted December 7, 2012 Pfft, that's for people who want money (also the video game industry is insanely competitive and has pretty terrible work conditions in all but the best studios so who you know is as helpful as what you know to avoid just being a QA tester on a Call of Duty game and hating your life) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted December 7, 2012 Oh, sure. But he specifically asked to get into the industry.. If you just want to make games, then makes games. Or... do you want to hang out with game developers? I'm confused now.. what was the question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lu Posted December 7, 2012 Pro-tip: If the boss has a habit of making you come in on Saturdays, he generally asks you at the end of the day, right? So all you gotta do is avoid him on the last few hours on friday, duck out early, turn off your answering machine and you should be home free, man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted December 7, 2012 Pfft, that's for people who want money (also the video game industry is insanely competitive and has pretty terrible work conditions in all but the best studios so who you know is as helpful as what you know to avoid just being a QA tester on a Call of Duty game and hating your life) The place I work is pretty fantastic! Granted, I'm not making the kind of games I actually want to make (not even close, really), but I think that's not too bad, at least for the time being. Soon I am going to start making my own stuff on the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 7, 2012 For those who actually answered the question in a proper way: I'll take your considerations into mind. I just had no idea what the developers were talking about when it came to specifics; I always thought they were talking about adding more physical pages to a forum, or somethng. I just don't know how talking about video games (constructively or otherwise) will get me into the game industry. For those who took the bait: Surprise! You've been caught red-handed! Now, go back into your holes and think about what you've done! Oh kindly fuck off. That's TWICE you've insulted members of this community while asking us for help. I already explained that a forum could be useful for NETWORKING. If you're going to ignore helpful answers to your questions AND be a complete dick about it, then I don't see why anyone here should bother with you. Also, thread is excellent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TychoCelchuuu Posted December 7, 2012 I had to Google "babycham" but only after some serious soul searching to decide if I was prepared for what it might potentially be. Thankfully it's innocuous and the Wikipedia page even has an adorable photo of a fawn so that's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
