Aw you should, the ending is cute. And they did a good job of making me hate all the bad guys in that game, Killing those damn jesters is satisfying. Kuja too that weirdo.

I thought kuja was hot.
Also, wtf is up with the princess's mom being an ogre or whatever? Zidane should realize that's what she's going to look like when she grows up!

Oh and lets not forget the creepy severely underaged girl with the crotchless pants.
looking at this page, it says things like "Total Course of Study: 45 hours". What does that mean? 45 hours is like a week. I'm trying to sort out what that implies in my head, and I can't. Help?
[edit] Oh, wait, those are like credit hours. Durr. So that's how many credits it is. Alright, thumbs up.
I'm thinking of transferring to an art school after my sophomore year at Columbia. I'm at the New York Film Academy right now for a short program, and realizing it might not be worth my time to spend two more years in "film studies" and a creative writing program that's just weekly workshops and seminars. The only film school worth doing to me is a place like NYFA, because over 50% of the time is spent working on films in a 1 or 2 year program. But I'm also not sure if I want to pay $50,000 $100,000 to work in film when that's something I could learn a lot about on my own for less money (perhaps).
Any suggestions? I'm thinking about graphic design, illustration, film/television, or straight up television.
The benefits to staying at Columbia are: very cheap, having a BA from an ivy league, and could change my major to something more practical with a concentration in film, and then go into a masters program for film. I want to do a year in illustration though, and I don't really see how that's practical without minoring in it at an art school while majoring in film/television.

Those games are meant to never be finished. I still haven't beaten FFTactics advance. I never really played the FF series...
Woah woah woah. Totally meant to be finished. Tactics is a different experience, but FF7 and FF9 are better if you play them through. I hate the tactics games (but I dont like that style of game play). The only more recent iteration of the FF series that I like is crystal chronicles.
Tam, I never finished god of war 1, and so I never moved on to two. Im guessing that she does not have the combination of bitchy and gross though.
Srsizzy, college is like 60% atmosphere and meeting people, even at artschool. You can learn illustration and graphic design on your own too. No matter where you go, you will have to work around shitty parts of a program to maximize your experience. Even if you're shelling out a ton more.
Tam, I never finished god of war 1, and so I never moved on to two. Im guessing that she does not have the combination of bitchy and gross though.
She's plenty bitchy, about 4 stories tall, tremendously obese, covered in sagging breasts and clawlike appendages, and grey as concrete. She's kept upright by a system of supports and scaffolds which Kratos climbs up to get to her upper torso so he can murder the hell out of the monstrosity.
All the sisters of fate were bitchy and only one of them wasn't hideous.
You know, I'm probably putting too much thought into a game about slaughtering beasts of legend as a savage juggernaut, but it's also a narrative in which a man attempts to end an era when the fate of people is decided on the whims of a few capricious superbeings. Granted, that's not really his intent- he's out for revenge, and maybe to get his wife and kid back- but I like the idea just the same.

Well the queen in FF9 is less gross than that, Queen Brahne is just a really fat lady, who has blue skin, and two ugly as sin clown jesters to do her bidding. She destroys alot of beautiful places in the game, which makes you hate her. FF7 and FF9 were the only games in the series that really got you immersed in a city and then said "Oh. They evil dude just shot that place with a huge gun. Sorry bro, we know that shit was cool but its gone now."
I always thought that was a bit more effective than character death, I dont have to take a characters word that the city was super cool, I was there, hanging out. And talk about reading to much into games, I do it it all the time.

SCAD blah blah!
You could probably get a graphic design degree from anywhere, graphic designers seem pretty plentiful. If you do Illustration at SCAD, for the most part you won't really be taught anything, it'll all just be "here's how to use these materials" and "make an illustration for a book cover...make an illustration for an article...make an illustration for a poster". The ILLU dept. is focused pretty strictly on "standard illustration jobs" and most of the professors seem to feel pretty "eh" about students doing something outside of that "standard"...most of the assignments follow suit. There's a full range of "employment goals" from the students themselves, though...it's just that the curriculum seems to have very little leeway, and has kind of the same setup for every class (even if there's a different name)...i.e. "make an illustration, it'll be used in [insert blank]". Advertising/Editorial/Materials&Techniques/BookIllustration etc. classes seem to all be basically the same thing, which has disappointed me. Then again, there are pointless and boring classes in every major, so I guess you can't get away from that. I don't know what illustration is like at any other schools, or if that's just "Illustration" across the board. Obviously the assignments have different intentions, sometimes, but...it all seems kinda black and white, repeat, repeat, repeat, to me.
I think transferring to SCAD, at maximum, could land you a $15k/year scholarship. Still, with housing (on or off campus) and the remainder of tuition, you'll be paying a minimum of $25,000 a year, unless you've got some $$ to spend on school and it won't be all loans.
At SCAD you take 3 classes a quarter. Classes are 2.5 hours each (unless you're taking Architecture/Interior design classes, heh!...some classes are 6+ hours there), and you take two classes-per-course a week...so you spend 15 hours a week in class. You are expected to work every single weekend, and it is unavoidable. Courses are pretty fast-paced, and you spend a lot of time getting assignments done. I'm not sure what the instruction or classes are like at SCAD for Film, but I know that Film students have access to some really fantastic equipment.
Also, be sure to check with SCAD what classes would be transferrable, before you make any commitment. If they don't take any of your previous credits, or if they only take a few, that would definitely be good to know (especially if some other art college would take most or all of them).
Every major has some electives available, so if you wanted to go to SCAD for Film and take Illustration or Painting courses on the side, you could absolutely do that. Also, if you've got a nice, semi-lenient chair of the department, sometimes they can push the boundaries of the curriculum a bit for you and sign waivers for you to get into classes that you wouldn't normally be able to get into (sometimes takes a bit of explaining/pleading). I was able to take two Sequential Art classes in Concept Art because I argued "it's mostly illustration assignments, anyway", which is the truth. I used one of my Studio electives and one of my Illustration electives for those courses. :P I'm taking 3D modeling courses with my Free electives, which can be anything.

see, the thing I like about you, Loomdun, is that I read that sentence as a reply to me and figured, "Well, it's loomdun, I guess that makes as much sense as I could ever expect."
Do you guys remember that girl I went out with that turned out to be a stalker. She wrote me that email that told me I was a horrible man and was 8 pages long?
Well.... guess who sent me a new facebook friend request!!! What is wrong with her?!
Heheheh! Actually Prox, if you were my stalker I would be hanging out with you all day. You seem like a really cool dude! Just as long as you don't try to randomly kiss me.

Thanks ND. So you're in illustration, I take? What I'm most concerned with is being forced to draw...I guess in reality that's pretty retarded to pay $25-50,000 just to get people to force me to learn to be a better artist, when if I had any diligence and self-control I could do it on my own. I guess that thought alone makes me not want to go major in illustration or concept art or whatever is available for that sort of thing. But still, I don't realistically see me taking a year off just to work on art every day. I'm just not dedicated to any creative thing that much. I want to write books, be a good visual artist, make films, make music, and I like all those things equally, so I really haven't been able to force myself to do one thing for more than a few weeks without being forced into it by a class. I am pretty weak-willed though.
In other news, I just saw a film called Humpday. It's like a more adult/serious/honest version of I Love You Man. It was really great, the style of the film made it feel really real/visceral until towards the end...which, for me, was kind of a frustrating way to end the movie.
