I FUCKING LOVE VIDEO GAMES.
I going to school to study Game Design, and I absolutely hate the fact that people can't seem to grasp that Game Design is a legitimate career.
This is a conversation I had with a girl I worked with:
Me: "What are you going to school for?"
Her: "Oh, you know, psychology. I want to be a therapist. What about you?"
"I'm going for Game Design."
"Game Design? Like, video games?"
"Yeah."
"You can go to school for that?"
*facepalm*

That's not the only incident either. Whenever I mention what I want to do, it seems like people freak out that I'm trying to pursue a career that'd, oh, I don't know, I'd be fucking happy to do for the rest of my life! Just because you don't like your job, doesn't mean I have to give up on my dream. That seems to be the problem. People have stopped dreaming. I will never lose my child-like wonder of the world. I will never stop dreaming.

I honestly have no idea how that turned into a rant. If you read it though, thank you for doing so. I should really stop typing when I'm tired.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have spent over half my life making games of all sorts, and people VERY rarely realize how much time and work goes into one, and even fewer realize just how much fun you can have making one. And so with that you have my salute.

When I saw your avatar pic I immediately thought "21st century Schizoid Man".
