I know you all saw this and said "Jesus christ....AGAIN??!!" :rofl2:

My mom told me that if i dont have a solid career and a path in life i can define by Jan 1st that her, my gmom, and my grandfather (they are seperated, her mom and dad) are going to pay to send me to college for anything of my choice. And i know her rents can afford it.

So i am probably going to just plan to be a college student. Orlando isnt far and its about the same to live there as here, so im thinking of going to college in Orlando for Computer Science. I would like to do the web applications field or software applications or something.

Just thought it was cool they offered that.

There is a game development school down that way.

I thought about going there but decided that a real* degree would be better.

IIRC Full Sail was the name.  But make sure they are accrediated because I remember I had a hard time finding proof of it.

*Real as in what normal companies would look at and think is a real degree.

Yea Full Sail is here. So is Nintendo (further north). Games are cool but i dont think i have the drive to make a living with them.

Are you a whore that likes to be worked to death?  If so then game development in a large company is for you ;)

Incorrect. One of the FL colleges is mostly game based and is fully funded by nintendo as well has having nintendo professors and the like. I think the same college is the one very MS funded. I'll find out which one it was tomm, too damn tired for it tonight.

I'm positive because i knew nothing about it till i started looking at colleges, all of which were based in fl except digipen, which i was also interested in. And it wasnt DP

Most of us here are programmers or some variation there of it seems. So my question is what did everyone go to school for?

:lol:

Am i off on the specifics? MAYBE. But Nintendo was a big part of whatver school it was. I'm going to look tomm cuz i have a notebook i wrote everything in. DigiPen was one i applied to my senior year, so i know it isnt DP. I got accepted, too, but same thing couldnt afford it. And some fear. I got into Penn state too (is that good? lol) but i declined it.

You didn't get into Digipen or Penn State. Quit lying.
Also, you better have more info than your notebook.
I don't want to see a scan of a page from your diary
as proof.

You just cant see me as any form of intelligent.

And i just want the name from my notes, then google will make you eat shit.
