	Good Game Hex: Yes, you've read the book, you've seen the film - now avoid the game like the plague lest your memory of Harry Potter's epic conclusion be tainted by what can only be described as a short, half-arsed cover-shooter that's boring beyond belief. Bajo: ...It's shit.

Posts: 17,366 Group: All Powerful Deity Member #1 Joined: December 30, 2005	Yeah I know, corporate has the employees by the balls, pays them shit and forces them to endure constant humiliation at a job that is probably less rewarding than it should be. If anything, I should blame the employees for actually taking a job like this and subjugating themselves to daily toruture when flipping burgers is probably a way more rewarding experience.

Master Posts: 6,709 Group: Elite Member #83 Joined: September 10, 2010	I don't know... I rather be around videogames all day than flipping a burger... even if it means pushing crap on them. I'd probably skip the whole shtick if the boss wasn't watching, but they probably have cameras and look to see what you're doing or something. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Nov 16 2011, 05:27 AM.

Got a really sweet deal on it and he said the guy was pretty friendly and stuff. I guess it's a lot like shopping anywhere online really, you just have to be really selective and ask questions before getting down to business.

On that note, here's an interesting, tongue-in-cheek article about wanting to work in the industry: http://www.dorkly.com/article/27379/the-dorklyst-7-reasons-you-dont-want-to-work-in-the-video-game-industry

If any of you guys are considering getting into the industry yourselves, I'd reccomend taking really fucking strong consideration into how well you'd fare on the Indie front instead, because at least that way you won't find your life absolutely raped by ridiculous time constraints and not having a single say in anything that's ever asked of you. Community's a lot friendlier too come to think of it.

Community's a lot friendlier too come to think of it. Indie is by far the way to go. The people that you can work with are pretty much by your own choice, the games you work on are pretty much by your own choice. Oh, and actual gamers respect you. That's always a plus. Sure, you won't have absurd budgets to spend on graphics and grade-A voice actors and blast processing, but did you really need all of that to begin with?
