  1. I haven't got a gamming degree I'd get one but then I'd need to move and that isn't possible
  2. So the skills you need to work on so far : Spelling Imagination <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein The ability to learn new things by analysis is a brilliant skill; that alone sets you on the right path. Spelling, although not an obvious skill, is essential: good communication skills have been streesed many times for all types of jobs; there is no point being the best widget-maker if you can't tell anyone else about it, or worse, you can't take instruction. There area already a couple of topics on this page (one is stickied
  3. I recommend that too (for a graphics/gamer person) because I'm at Uni and it really is "Computer Science", like studying algorithms and stuff - I wasn't expecting them to but still would've been nice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i'd probably make people fell stupid if I took a cs degree since I've already have a CIS degree besides I can learn that stuff on my own
  4. most in house software is being writen in VB.NET so your stuck either way and what is wrong with VB I think it is a good starting languange.
  5. I'm in the minority for most categories but that is because I've souped up my computer a bit
  6. check your video card maybe it doesn't support some of the key features tha it requires or your running out of ram I've personally never encountered this issue but I'm a programmer so my computer is pretty souped up so I usually don't have any problems but another thing could be your missing some key files so I'd try reinstalling the game and see if that helps
  7. um your grapics card is dying that is nope than likely you problem I've never even heard of something like this what card do you have you aren't give enough details for me to diagnos the problem
  8. This Idea has been floating around LucasForums for a long time and has pretty much been concluded that most people don't like the idea of having to train to become a jedi you also I don't like the combat for JK2 I'd much rather have combat similar to rots because of the blocking aspect of the game I really don't like the combat for JK3 either because there isn't a way to parie attacks or block them all together but to each his own i guess
  9. um I want to test games before I make them yes I'm a computer nerd so I want to do more than test then since I have no artistic talent what so ever I'll stick to the code
  10. *looks through thread* what no bastila fans plz if you post on LF no jokes about me cuz my username is the same as here
  11. Well I don't have any Trouble with my 6200 256MB card with the latest driver try turing v-sync on in the graphics portion of the game if you don't already have it on because that tends to fix most grapics issues I turned it off once an then I had this issue so make sure you have v-sync enabled when you are in the game. I've never encountered this issue with v-sync on but the funny thing is that Kotor 1 thinks my grapics card doesn't meet the recommened requirments a nother issue is that FX cards don't support direct x 9.0c completely so that might be a problem also where are you people finding the 6800 series cards I've looked at newegg and they don't have them but this is not something I'm going to get any time soon just a quiery is all
  12. I'm a QA Tester on Neverwinter Nights 2. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> cool I've been looking into game testing or game development but I'm a programmer at heart and can pretty much learn all i want by playing around with a program so it that skill any help at all. I also have and Associates degree in Computer Information Systems so I know a few tricks of the trade. also another handy trait is being passionate about video games which I am and let people make fun of me for being 21 and still playing video games everyday . I've also been considering applying for a job as one but I don't live any where near a game developer can you do it testing from home or do you do it in house. i really don't break things I consider it more of a creative destruction when I intend to break some thing but I accustomed to fixing things though since I'm a PC tech. also who do you contact to become a game tester because that is something I've always wanted to do
  13. hehe this is a lesson you will learn once you learn your second language I've listed mine some where esle all I need to do for c# is go by a book because I already own VS.NET but inorder to want to learn a new language you have to addicted to programming kind ok like I am.
  14. if you are a student you can get those types of software at a greatly reduced price I've got most of my programming tools that way other than my java stuff which is free. there are a lot of student discount sites out there llike gradaware.com and being a student doesn't mean you need to be in college you just need to be a student
  15. ok I love to program and have always wanted to be a game programmer I've been gaming ever since I was about 10 and haven't looked back. I'm just wondering what skills are helpful for those who haven't had any experience out in the real world programming but I've been doing as a hobby for 4 years now and went to college for it I work right now as a PC tech for a multi-national company and am excellent at leaning new concepts without and instructions just by analyzing others code. I've also listed the languages I know in a different thread here so I guess I'm just wondering if you train people that have entry level experience
  16. well I know a few languages and still want to learn more the languages I know are C++ Vb 6.0 vb.net asp.net sql java (currently working on a screensaver) vb script java script html xml basic VBA so I guess you could say I love programming languages i want to learn are python perl c# J++ crystal reports and many more
  17. well actually I've looked into a computer science degree but they don't have nearly the lab time that I had when going to herzing for a cis degree I also was the first class anywhere to be taught VB.NET although I'm not currently working as programmer I still do it for fun I've found that to be good a programming it take a passion for programming you aren't just good at it I also am looking to get into the gamming industry but everybody want you to have a ton of experiance even to start out when I have none but on my side is youth and the ability to learn quickly I aslo love to analize code from other people to learn more advanced skills so any adivce would be great I current employed as a PC specialist
