So yeah, in my quest to find a job of SOME description, a while back I sent all manners of emails and info out everywhere. Who'd of thunk that one of em would reply?
I totally forgot sending the request out until I got a phone call which was basically "Oh btw, here's an interview tomorrow kthnxbai"
Said interview was for me to be enrolled into Train2Game, which'll give me an actual diploma I can use to get into game designing.
So yeeeeaaaaahh.... at least this education course thing is all done at home. Now I can forget to hand in homework in the comfort of my own home!
To be honest I'm still unsure about the whole thing, the learning part seems fun don't get me wrong but it's just... I guess I can't get around the suspicion of this being fake or a scam of some kind. i've done the research and from what I can tell Train2Game does seem to be legit, but it's just... I dunno. Can't really put it into words. I've had no reason or any evidence that says I shouldn't do this, but all the same...
Well I can look at this in my view, or in a psychological view...
My view... I'm untrusting of anything that seems too good to be true and due to my personality that also places distrust on anything new...educational enviroments were never really beneficial to me in the past so that's perhaps another reason why I'm so mistrusting that this will give me a diploma that will be a great leeway into a game designing career...
From a psychological standpoint this may simply be attributed to the face that I don't like change. Anything that disturbs the equilbrium I've grown accustomed to would make me edgy and/or anxious. Since this is a rather major undertaking [2 year course costing 5k] I guess I would love a solid quantifiable reason for this to be fake so I can go back to the cosy warmth of this security blanket i call a bedroom.
I guess time will tell whether or not this is a load of bullcrap. The documents and all the jazz I looked over [And I don't mean glanced, I made her sit there for 2 hours while I read every detail... 'her' being the interviewer who came to my house] were all good and what I expected, some of the documents had a similar appearence to the documents I had to fill out for Motherwell College.
If anybody actually decided to read through this... what do you think of the situation?
Some quick info before you reply...

Oh yeah, I have a deviantART account.
My page has almost hit 20k pageviews, why I don't know but regardless I feel that I should explain some things.
I'm not exactly dead. Not really alive eaither but still, real life decided to deny me internet. My main computer died a horrible death just before last halloween and I've been unable to get a new one.
HOWEVER
That may change soon since I now have a source of income.
So, yeah, watch this space.
Have fun:

Happy 'Expulsion from birth cannal' day to me
So, yeah. I'm 22 years old now and still haven't done shit.
There's just no motivation to do stuff... and I've come to the realization that it's because I still live with my parents. But I can't more out until I can get a job that can actually fund a new house for me. Hell I'll take a 1 bedroom studio flat for rent I just need OUT OF HERE.
But nobody wants to give me monies, which creates a problem.
So.... what have I been doing OTHER than complaining...
Been playing a LOT of Team Fortress 2, specifically a mod called Versus Saxton Hale. It's fun, you should try it. I am undefeatable when I'm Hale.
I've also started getting into the MMO
What I've been up to recently.
Because people may or may not care about what I've been doing.
The big thing I've been doing is Source Filmmaker, been sinking a lot of time into that. About 5 or 6 weeks actually [and in all that time, I have about... 20 seconds of footage]
In the Flash side of things I have a couple of animations in the pipeline, sprites of course. I suck at drawing after all. but I also have a few drawings that are flash based as well [I simply prefer it as a drawing platform over Photoshop, but then again I've used Flash for so much longer than Photoshop]
I've been dabbling in making a custom CSS for my journal if I ever actually get premium status. I
Happy Halloween from Scotland
Well it's that time of the year again, the only time when I am actually allowed to dress the way I do and act the way I do.
Had I remembered to actually draw/make something for Halloween you can rest assured it would have been neat, maybe I'll manage to finish something by tomorrow who knows...
So yeah... Halloween's meant to be the time for scares and to do stuff that frightens you... so how about I do something I wouldn't normally do.... like a visit to a dAmn chat room or a collab on iScribble or meetup in Spiral Knights or something.
Maybe play a multiplayer game with team chat with a game I have or even just a Skype Call?
