So it's been about three weeks since my last post. Here's why. Three weeks ago I had to hoof it on final projects. Two weeks ago final projects were due plus early finals. Last week late projects were due plus normal finals. This week was spring break, the very first time I got to see my fiance in months due to projects, finals, two jobs, looking for a Game Developer job, preparing for GDC, and trying to be clever in this blog. I failed that last one, but the rest has gone quite nicely.

Weapons: Cards, resumes, killer new outfit.

Objective: Goto GDC and schmooze the elite.

Should be fun, Darius is going to have a seminar I'm going to. Always wondered what he looked like since his avatar is kinda funky.

Saddening week. Denied scholarship thing for GDC (Free Pass, plus a personal mentor-type.), places that wanted to hire me are on hiring freeze, places I didn't want to go to closed down jobs where I could work. Spent the last couple of days feeling a bit down. And now I'm registering for the GDC. So I'm still super-excited for that!

Lesson: Never let setbacks keep you down.

Not too many posts lately cause I'm not searching for game work exclusively as of late. Demo going okay, the company is keeping us waiting. But we're getting a lot of work done over the excitement that's running through our blood. Waiting for GDC stuff to come through, my preparations were a little ahead of time but I hate waiting til the last minute. So that's today's advice, NEVER wait til the last minute. Just in general.

So we're getting the demo out the door, if we don't fail miserably I'll tell you guys whatever, my NDA will let me. I'm super excited though, you imaginary users should be too! Also my business cards look awesome, I'll post pics later with some props to the guy I got the idea from at (http://tinysubversions.blogspot.com/). Cool dude, check him out.

Not a lot of posts because I've been doing more and more of the same. Even the same work really ;3. But today is special, getting ready to demo a game to a publisher. Kinda nerve wrecking eh. Oh and I'm getting my business cards today. I'll post a pic of it later.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with but a single step.

So my name is Chris Lee and this Blog will cover my thoughts on whatever I feel like writing. Though mostly it will contain reviews on games that I'm playing, updates on games that I am making, and the main event will be chronicling my journey to getting a paying job in the video game industry(Or alternatively a paying job as a programmer as a lead in to finding work as a game programmer).

History: I always knew I loved games but before my programming days I was more of a writer. The most rewarding thing in the world is making a room full of people laugh, and I loved to do it. But I had a technical yearning in me as well. With a bunch of nerds who did nothing but play D&D and video games with me it was inevitable that I become obsessed with computers. Long story short, I've loved just about everything on the internet, and on the gaming scene since about the 4th grade. I loved Ultima Online despite the fact that I really, really sucked at it, and I obsessively played just about every RPG to come my way my whole life. On with the blog!
