This letter might be just another outlandish read for someone. Hell, I might even be feeding myself to the wolves by putting this up. I'm not exactly in the best place of my life right now, but I've been working very diligently to change that. I've been through the ringer, my life by no means has been easy. Hear me out, but please don't confuse this for a pity story. I'm just a very unlucky young man who needs guidance. I'm unique you see, just like everybody else. I remember when I was a kid, the highlights of my day were these mix matched board games. My mother could only ever shop at thrift stores, not like it was a bad thing though. I mean Goodwill to a kid is clearly just the place that made the most sense out of the "Eye-Spy" books. The most time she would spend shopping was always spent gathering random things around the store to somehow complete the latest game. My favorite game was candy land (the most sensitive relative of board games), it was colorful and had just strange creatures on it that I had never seen before. The corner of the board was faded, the bland beige white taking part of my hideous fudge monster's face. This didn't sit well with a child's eye as you would imagine so of course Dr. Mohogany crayon could cure my monster. After some time I finished it by myself, even "laminated" the board with packing tape. Strangely well done for young critter. All kids are widely renowned for their experience in manual dexterity, everyone knows that. I remember bringing it on the bus the very next day, showed it to my friend. The very first thing he says , "Wow your family still plays board games? We plays ours on the TV" A few days later the only conclusion that I came to was that I was certain I was going to make the best game ever made possible. Looking back it's strange to think about where grandiose determination in a 7 year old comes from. I must have spent years studying games rather than playing them. Years of following gaming A-Z, somehow I came to a conclusion that it was a pipe dream. You get to if you're born into it, or you might as well not bother. I have a lot of walking that I have to do tomorrow, so I'm going to close this here. To those of you who are lucky enough to be in this industry, count your blessings, but most importantly how do you start? I could google this and find every for profit gaming college ever; but why risk joining a passionless program and leave knowing nothing? After reading your careers page I [i]have[/i] to know, Any light that could be shed on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
