Making any game at this point would be my dream game! CraigBoy2, I didn't get an interview, not surprising I don't have any job experience and there is no local game companies where I can intern. I just need to get my code out there. Any one want a college grad. programmer to work for free? I just want to get some experience at this point.

There's a master's program now, and I've heard that they're planning to have a Ph.D program also. I know this doesn't have a whole lot to do with programming, but those Dr. Jahn spell videos are awesome.

Well I already took a question test, it was like 25 random questions. Although I kinda blew through that cos I was short on time. Now i wish I could have waited to spend more time making sure I didn't have any typo's or anything. (also it never hurts to use complete sentence structure either ) oh well. I did have most of that list on my resume/cover letter already, but I didn't list any references, mainly cos outside of my teachers, I don't have any. that was long ago too. ed p.

not that I work for Obsidain (fingers crossed, i've just applied) but I have alot of just random fun game ideas (or mini games) that I would love to make 1) a sky driving fighter sim. game - where two or more people jump out of a plane but there is only 1 parachute so they all must fight for it while falling to their doom! 2) a puzzle game, where the puzzle peices are living beings running thru a maze but you have to knock them out with a hammer and drag their bodies back to the puzzle board and nail gun them in place, before your opponent does the same or the puzzle pieces team up to free a captured piece. 3) finish my crazy revolutions game, anyone know an artist or two willing to work for free , oh and they have to use lightwave 7.0, since my last artist used that and I had to write my own plug in to get it to work in direct x 9. oh crazy revolutions is an old school arcade fighter, four players side scrolling action, pay quarters to play! (or just hit the start) 4) a nice looking text based 3-D advanture game, not much of those around anymore its a shame too. i'll keep the rest of my ideas for a rainy day or two, everyone else share! ed p.

I graduated from DigiPen in 2003, I just wanted to post my experiences. 1999 was a very shaky year for the school, alot of teachers left (to work in the industry) and alot of the new teachers there had no teaching experience and needless to say, my frist programming class I ever took didn't start with 'hello world' but more like window's GDI window class pointers and call back functions, since the new teachers didn't know it was a beginning course from the harsh work load. all is forgive. needless to say the school is much better off now with a few good years under its belt. I was not one of the 75% drop outs, almost though. If you work hard enough, you can acheive your goals, so I don't think it matters what school you go to but DigiPen is nice, since you have to work around 60 hours per week if you want to survive (thats the drop out reason, not the math courses!) I also enjoyed everyone I met at the Pen, students and teachers alike. Its a great atmosphere and there is never a shortage of halo players, not that I play halo, but everyone else did. see now i'm off topic, i talk and ramble too much. However, the school is for the hard working and dedicated and everything relates to gaming as much as it can be. I just wish there was another 4 years though, I want to know more about AI and graphics from the professors there. Its the on hands training, thats the good stuff. there is no better feeling in the world then when you get your game project done and show it to the world! I also have a quick question for Adam, if he still works here that is, What year did you graduate from dP, I was tutor my senior year (02-03) and I tutored pretty much everyone, (I basically had to sneek off to the bathroom since if any one would see me they would want me to debug their code or anwers some questions) I was one of the Crazy Cross programmers. give a shout out if you got time! ed p.
