Burly Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hey guys! I posted here a few months back about graduating from Full Sail University. It looks like the years of hard work finally paid off. I'm being flown out to MD next week to meet with Zenimax Online Studios. Now technically I don't have the job yet; they are just giving me a last look through to make sure I'm not a jackass. So please wish me luck!! And thanks for your guy's support thus far. I LOVE OCREMIX! The best music in the world! (for those that would like to see my demo reel, click below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Since you don't actually have the job yet, don't blow it! (Good luck.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Which county in Maryland are ya going to be placed..? If you're lucky you'll not get stuck in Prince George's County, worst county in Maryland ever imo... Fairfax or Montgomery are at least tolerable but if you're renting, be ready to do some real home hunting. Goodluck nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairfax or Montgomery are at least tolerable but if you're renting, be ready to do some real home hunting. Goodluck nonetheless. It's an area just north of Baltimore. I'll probably be renting an apartment though, got too many school loans to afford a house right now. Thanks bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Author Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I also broke into the game industry. But then the cops came and I was put in prison. Never made it to the pay and spray. Congratulations by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotSS Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Apparently last year a soprano got her nose broke by a gang who's initiation was to "beat up a white woman". Ouch. Beating women as a gang initiation, huh? So basically, gangs in PG County are comprised primarily of giant walking, talking pussies, which means that all you have to do is stay outside of the event horizon of the black holes of manliness that exist in the depths of these pathetic creaures' very being, and you'll be just fine.

Where the hell did THIS come from. o.O I just graduated from CA on the 3rd. I wore my OCR hoody everyday and the whole 22 monthes I was there I only met 1 kid who recognized it. HOW CAN THIS BE?

Kizyr Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Nice... Everything I heard about Bethesda Software has been positive, so I think you'll enjoy it. I have a preference for Northern Virginia myself, but Maryland is an all right place. Plenty of parts have gotten much better in recent years, too (though... I still hear nothing good about PG County). KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if someone had a hoodie with my name and face on it, if they wore it everyday for 22 months, i wouldn't want to go talk to them. >_> Less Ramaniscence and more Laundryiscence IMO.

But you HAVE to wear a sweater everyday at Full Sail. It's always winter in those buildings. The windows to the CA building are constantly covered in condensation like the inside of a freezer.

Burly Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 So what are you actually doing at this company? I'm a Character Animator. My job will be to create the bones and joints that turn static models into animatable characters (known as character rigging). Then I get to make character animations used in game. Basically actions like running, jumping, death, etc. Thank you everyone for the support! I don't mind questions either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
