The troll article was an interesting read and insight into the mind of a troll.

Charlie – I don’t do anything, still got a year left on the degree. I’ve spent a lot of time researching career paths though – being on what is possibly the non-vocational degree sort of makes that a pressing concern, and I had quite an interest in the games industry. Though I’m probably going to stick with enjoying playing games and sell my soul working for the NHS or local government.

The article just seems poor all around. Silly overblown reporting, lots of scare tactics, unverified claims. No one is “god of the Internet”.

Mm. I’m a few pages in, and all I can see is a load of clueless internet-phobes feeling even more scared for no reason (most trolls are just childish losers calling people gay, f’instance), and a bunch of people who take themselves and their tedious pranks way too seriously.

Kind of interesting, but really not news. The real premise is “some people are tossers”.

@ Dolphan. It is mostly level design, which I find to be pretty good, our tutor works for Free Radical as a level designer. Our course really focuses on building a portfolio in Unreal Engine 3. Thanks for the advice and I will be learning more programming in my spare time, just out of curiousity what is it you do?

Recently I have been wanting to become a games journalist, well after I read Jim’s book! But as you can tell I’m nowhere near good enough at writing, ah well!

Dorian: We fear no technique. And I owe you a mail, which I’ll hopefully get done tomorrow.

Arathain: Thanks!

Congratulations on writing for Marvel, Kieron. The preview looks and reads great.

Abe, I totally agree with you on that Barnett article. It sounds to me like Mythic must be full of non-stop ideological holy wars (and burnings), and I don’t understand how they get any work done.

Sprafa, a brick through the window is the original form of anonymous douchbaggery. They’re not there when you throw it and you’re gone in a second. If it was supposed to be a face-to-face thing, why not stick around?

And the telephone is the first modern incarnation of anonymous douchebaggery. There’s a reason prank calls happen with significantly more frequency than face-to-face prankery.
