I have to agree with SirChadly on the GPA. Yes, it is important, however, GPA don't mean shit without the following: -Leadership Skills -Internship -Real-World Experince. On clubs: It's MUCH better to form and create your own club, being the leader, the president of that named club than to be a member on somebody else club. Form a club that deals with leadership or internship.

I rather not listen to 'Call It Sleep' on vinyl. My ears will not last long due to the amazing combo of Vai and vinyl. The got fuckin' video game music on vinyl?! GODDAMN!!!

Steve Vai on Vinyl, huh? That got to be fuckin' epic, anything the man does is fuckin' epic.

I never imagine classical music on vinyl! I would be mad as well, you could had gotten something that nobody uses often.

Seriously? The local place where my father get his vinyls sell cheap as well. Anywhere from $1.00-$5.00. I'm thinking of buying "Thriller" by Micheal Jackson.

Yahtzee is a great reviewer and I like his style: Take no bullshit and do not give a damn what others think about your viewpoints! Yahtzee is completely unapologetic and does not mind dissing any games or it's fanbase.

IIT we talk about vinyl records and our love for them. Are you a fan of vinyl records? Do you collect them? Do you even have a damn ideal what's a vinyl? Well, I do have a couple of usable vinyl records in my house ranging from many Motown artists such as Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, etc. I myself enjoy the classic sounds of a vinyl and it amaze me how they could fit music on a plastic large disc such as a vinyl.

Ah, that seems pretty great. Man, why Americans can't see video game music as an art to do this? Oh well. You think the DVD will come out in the States?

Why the fuck I got Charlton Heston confused with Bill Hicks! That who I meant to say! Also Cottous, I forgot Ledger as well! He was a great actor. God, why can't you take out the shitty people of the meida such as Carlos Mencia, Dane Cook, Hannah Montana, or any of these shitty voice actors in anime? (BOTH American and Japanese anime voice actors.)

This. Don't expect ANY help or great advice from him. He's a slayer of sanity.

Man, why all the great people are dying this year? George Carlin Bill Hicks Issac Hayes Bernie Mac And now the movie voice guy. Why for once a horrible actor/musician/voice actor can die for once?

God that made me smiled! Screw Atmuh! He ain't American! He has a Pokemon sig. That's sad.

Yeah, you can prove that Birdo's a transsexual man. I really hope Captain Rainbow comes to America but some might put it off as being too weird.

aww i love u 2! Seriously, what in the hell was that for?

Got a few razor blade lying around? I also need to work on my whining, moaning, and bitching (grammar) skills as well.

We all have a few pet peeves when it comes down to recording our music live. What are some of yours. My one pet peeve when recording is my family. Since I'm not . . . blessed with a free enclosed space to record myself or any privaicy, I tend to get interuppted while I record. I record in my living room, which is near the staircase so any footsteps the family makes while walking up or down the stairs can be recorded and I have to start over.

Thanks J! That was another issue I was worried about. So just get the degree in theory and composition but have the knowledge that that ain't gonna help you out. Speaking of contact, I have a family friend and violin tutor that used to played for the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (READ: used to). His name is Adrian Walker and he was also first chair in many of their concerts. Should I consider him a contact since he used to play with such a well-knowned orchestra and still have some ties to it if I ever want to check out the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra? And Calpis, thanks for your insight on UAT since that was one of the schools I was thinking of going. I do remember the students going to GDC e3 and making contacts during the Tech Fourm.

Ha Ha! I knew I shouldn't use that program! To be honest, I don't like it because it doesn't get you into the true devoplment in game design. So, let's say I have a degree in Business Admin or Nursing, that wouldn't matter because I still have a degree and they would still hire me. However, experince is still needed, no matter what. I would never apply to ITT or DeVry because those are lying pieces of shit money pits. My mother wanted me to apply to thoese schools because they were cheap. Yeah mom, they're cheap for a reason. Don't say fuckin' shit about shit you don't know about or never reasearched about. Tellin' me to go to a school with a bad rep. Leaving the ranting aside . . . How do you feel about schools such as University of Advaning Technology or FullSail. Do those schools help you with networking? Networking, which I need badly. The more contacts I met, the more of a chance I could get a job. So, game companies are rarely (never) looking for composers, huh? Well, best I kill myself now and say goodbye to my dreams instead of being another nigger on the streets and becoming a number. All irony aside, they're not even looking for part-time composers? Wow. I should really think about commiting sucide for beliving in such a stupid dream. I was just jokin' about the RPG Maker shit. I know it's a P.O.S. and I shouldn't even think about putting in on my resume. I'm knocking my GE shit outta the way so I don't have to do it in a 4-year place. I ain't doing the whole deal through comm college. Also, I'm asking this a bit early so I can have the infomation a bit early as well as contacts.

Hmm . . . I do have RPG Maker 2003 on my computer. However, I don't think a simple program like RPG Maker '03 would look nice on my portfolio since there's no programming involve for that program. I could do music for indie-type games and hell, just write music for my own personal pleasure. Would that look good? Also, what about thinking in going into the following: -English -Communications -Business Admin -Music Theory and Writing -Computer Science Would the stated above help me if I do those first in community college? And will performing at for my church Music Team, would that look good or should I give up on that?

I was thinking about communication as well. Hmm . . . where can I gain experience in communication outside of college (such as an internship or volunteering )

So true. They're just saying that so that that school district looks good on sending their students off to college. Just because some ignorant ass ghetto black kids don't wanna go to college does not give the school the right to lie to other students. I came from an inner-city high school district and they always tell us "Go to college! Get a degree!" Just to look fuckin' good in the media when these bullshit stats come around. There are many successful people that didn't went to college or got a college degres (excluding modern mainstream rappers who are causing young black men to become ignorant ass niggas.)

So, I should not go into Music Theory and Composition then, huh?

Ah, I'm so happy I went to a community college first INSTEAD of going to a four-year papermill like UAT or FullSail! With that in mind, I'm thinking of going into Audio Programming and Music Theory as my minors and major then getting an Interactive Media degree at another community college or normal university. So, it's that bad, huh? Poor suckers who went to a Game Design school early.

I go! I'm not the typical nigga that sit around the house or sit on the pourch like a monkey.
