Ohhh the platform engineering job on league of legends. I still dream about that job regularly, but I felt like the gaming industry is way too volatile, and there is not that much game development done in St. Louis. To stay in the industry I would have to move for sure.
A good friend of mine is a game story writer, and she has worked on PC titles like Guild Wars 2, tons of titles for Wii, and Xbox 360. In the last 5-6 years she has lived in Seattle, Montreal, DC, and now she's off to Boston. Just to stay employed.
Seattle, LA, Austin, SF are the big 4 cities for that work. Chicago, NYC, Boston, Orlando, etc. to a lesser extent
Yeah, not sure where all the big named gaming corporations are located except for Nintendo, which I know is in Seattle.
The only way I'd take a job offer like that is if it was with a company that has been around for a long time, like Nintendo, or Wizards of the Coast, who have been around for years and can still make original, popular content.
No it does not. I tried that, and all it did was add more character to the mixture in my belly.
Oh sorry.

Oh it's too competitive? Well hell who wants that.

Yeah it's competitive as hell on top of all the layoffs. Who wants to be a proctologist when you can sit around drawing orcs and dwarves all day.

Ugh. I didn't mean for you to download that. I was just saying that's an alternative to native development on the mac with the Xcode environment.
That's really a tool meant for experienced developers. Sorry for the confusion, I did get some comments on that post though from people that were going to look further into it.
If you are interested in learning programming though, I can recommend places to start. Everybody should learn to code even if you don't plan on doing it professionally

Eh, it at least helped someone.
I can uninstall just as easily as I installed without shame or guilt.
I appreciate your suggestion and trying to help.
I have a hard copy of the form I want, it is just the input details that are the issue.
yeah the gaming industry is really competitive. You know how many fan boys have dreams of working at nintendo drawing Bowsers and Ganondorf all day long? Hell I bet some of those people get off on it.
I wouldn't mind being a game tester. Be a lot like Grandma's Boy without all the weed.
