    Veretas what area of game development are you going for

    More or less just the art part. I can animate pretty ok and do a mediocre job at modeling environments. Just don't ask me to do anything organic.

    So basically I can work for either games or movies

    or movie games

    yeah see we're in the same boat

    I need to be a writer or something to be successful because I'm just not good at anything else

    Man I figure it's all, we get hired. The guys tell us what to do. We do it.

    You don't have to worry about being 'creative' in a job at first. Until you start making decisions for other people you do.

    Woo!

    I wonder how these decades will be remembered by the general population, in the way that the 90's, 80's, etc, are remembered by. Will we refer to the past ten years as the 2000's? Or the O-O's?

    Everything interesting that happened to me, happened in the last year or two including first girlfriend, first kiss, first bj, etc.

    I just said, god.

    2000-2009 are the Aughts, 2010-2012 are the Tweens, 2013-2019 are the Teens.

    I turned 20 this year, don't worry its quite cool. You're not a teen so not treated like a kid, but not 21 yet so you don't have to act 100% like an adult.

    No, 20 is make or break for fulfilling dreams. That's just how it is.

    The 00's weren't particularly lovable. Maybe some rose-tinted glasses and even worse times ahead make us miss it more?

    When I started college, my dad told me I'm not allowed to figure out what I want to be when I grow up until he does. He was in his mid-fifties at the time.

    2001- Sophmore, A's and B's, sleep too much, move on to RPGs, keep up the 40k
    2002- Junior, sleeping through most of my classes, nerd games, quiz bowl, and band are pretty much my only social contacts, thinking about suicide way too much
    2003- Senior, more sleeping, less socializing, more suicidal
    2004- supposed to graduate, almost don't, squeeze by at the "alternative school", things start looking up, head off to SIU, start sleeping again
    2005- drop out of SIU, mom kicks me out, I get an apartment, drop out of community college
    2006- drop out of community college again, start sleeping again, sometimes go a week without speaking to anyone outside of work
    2007- decide I need to find a calling, start taking classes at Moody Distance Learning Center, teaching Sunday School, working with youth, too busy to be depressed, start sorting shit out, mission trip to Romania to work with orphans
    2008- continue with classes, shit mostly sorted out, focus on youth work, mission trip to Caucases, mission trip to Central Asia, figured out what I'll do with my life
    2009- taking a heavier course load, done sorting shit out, focusing on moving on, more youth work, back to Central Asia, accepted at Moody Bible Institute for Spring 2010, generally being awesome
