Games Industry!

Typical,I miss a class and we have a guest speaker!!!! Its a good thing some of the class avoided my crippling hang-over and were able to fill me in! Apparently his name was Gary,unless I've been misinformed. From what I've heard,this well connected shop owner seems to have enlightened my peers a great deal. It was one of the few times I've heard of people actually talking about the kind of jobs that are out there for us. I'm fed up having people coming up to me at home telling me "did you hear Dell have sacked another three hundred!". Aside from mainstream game development,he mentioned work in the support field, modeling,and even marketing which I was surprised to hear.

Right,three hours on, 10 gallons of water later,I'm back in form!!! Just in time for our second guest speaker luckily enough. No sooner had I replenished my bodily fluids than I found myself on the verge of loosing them again. An idea put forward about the death of the games console nearly had me in a fit of tears!Is it really conceivable that the improvements in web storage and the ability of a player to access their game anywhere outside of their own home could really kick the games console into touch?I very much doubt this!In my opinion the games console will be here for a very long time yet. For me, half the excitement of gaming is the build up! Waiting semi-patiently for that next big fix,those few hours of pure elation!I cant see the attraction of having the ability to game in every direction. For me that would ruin the thrill and dampen the immersion!
