Have met and am friends with Jim Glaximus Masterus, Cunning Linguist.

Damn, I only have a rating of 5.

Is figment of Jim's imagination.

I suppose that makes me a 5 as well.

Jim's Best Friend since Sixth Grade (with some breaks)

hello random ljer.

is there some weird site that tells you this?

glaximus May 31 2004, 14:25:42 UTC

I love random!

I'm not sure, I'll ask Ed (Torgopizza). We went to Full Sail together and we had a class with Dave Arneson, and so yeah.

brennakimi May 31 2004, 15:38:36 UTC

i see.

but then i don't know what either of those two particular creatures are.

Righto.

Full Sail is a school for the media arts in Orlando, FL. I went there for Game Design. Dave Arenson is the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, and he teaches one of the Game Design courses there.

So know you know. The battle is half won.

hey on the full sail thing.... is the degree doing anything for you??? i mean like, are you actually making it in the industry yet???

Re: randomly found glaximus August 25 2004, 08:29:29 UTC

I'm currently working for Raven Software as a programmer on Quake 4.

So, yes. :)

What would you go to Full Sail for?

Re: randomly found saucegirly August 25 2004, 18:53:47 UTC

awesome... good luck with that... i just was wondering... the recording side of things isn't getting anyone anywhere right now. and to answer the what i would go for... if they had a degree for management/promotions, i might go. i guess i could always go down there and talk to them right???

Well, here's the deal with the RA program at Full Sail.

Lots and lots of people with little ability to motivate themselves or even pay attention in class come to Full Sail with the attitude of "I wanna make phat beats, dawg, I don't need no bullshit classes."

Full Sail happily takes them, because they are a business and that's what businesses do. But something on the order of 50% of those people drop. Lots of people with bad attitudes give the school a bad name.

It comes down to what you are able to do with yourself. If you have no desire to listen to other people, learn from classes, and deal with a little bit of school bullshit, then stay away. But there are success stories. One of them, my friend Dave, just graduated from the RA program recently and landed his first job in Texas.
