Fun times!

GDC Austin was the best career decision I've made in a while. I met some interesting people from various companies and hopefully I've got a job lined up in the Austin area once school is over. God I can't wait for school to be over. I'm presently in lab working on final project because FF2 is due on monday. Tomorrow is my b-day so I had not planned to work on the project but it looks like that might not be the case ~_~

Insomniac was at the even but after speaking with a few indie game devs and actually attending an Austin IGDA event, I'm really not to keen on the idea of working for a large company. I've got my whole life ahead of me after all. Maybe going big is a bit too ambitious. I want to learn and grow as a programmer and a smaller company might actually be able to offer me that opportunity. Only time will tell.

In other news I am on the brink of a nervous breakdown looking through pages of broken code, thousand line long comments, and generally poorly designed systems that is turning out to be my teams final contribution to our school. Aside from the team hiccups I've been getting an awful lot of "your code is broken" from certain individuals even though I have managed to verify to their satisfaction that it is indeed the work of "gremlins" outside of my particular module. Between meeting students from other schools at AGDC and dealing with the students here I expect to find my skills to be a valuable commodity to some very fortunate employer in the near future. Now taking offers.
