denomenation a phenomenon like neezing...
you can't commit it on command, but also you can't avoid it. Like the zombie, who neezes "zom", and well... denomination I think you actually meant Denominator. But hey, whatever.
Actually I specifically didn't, hence the second bit about religious overtones, I assumed that's what they were getting at rather than the letter switch (which took me several re-readings of Headthump's post to spot). But tbh, I've now been entirely outdone by Madfox's poem anyway... I use IE too, since it fucking works on any website that isn't designed by retards who think they're so self important that I'd use any other browser than my browser of choice to view their worthless website.
so I got an invite to the beta test of Quake LIVE (quake 3 in a web browser, free to play) and have 5 invites I can send out (I think) so speak up if you want one!
I'd just have thought that with your love of underage bestial porn you'd want a browser that stopped dodgy sites stealing your information or let hackers turn your PC into a zombie (you seem fairly anti those atm too ;)
And in fairness, I click on it, it displays webpages, is true of most browsers. I like Firefox myself (the ability to adblock makes the internet happier), but Chrome is supposed to be quite good. I'm just getting increasingly worried about Google buying my entire soul, however 'funky' or 'innovative' their policies are... ps. I agree Scampie, however much I dislike IE, ignoring that much of the market share is the extreme of either retardation or pretension I couldn't give a shit what browser other people use, but since I compulsively have to customise everything, I'm a sucker for Firefox. Firecrotch?
I'm currently running Firefox 3 with Greasemonkey scripts (lets you tweak individual webpages to work the way you want), mouse gestures (amazing), the web-developer extensions, grab and drag (what it sounds like: hold a mouse button of your choice and drag the view about), adblocker, the camino theme, and a few more. http://www.cumbria.ac.uk/Courses/Courses2009bylevel/Foundationdegree2009/Arts/ArtGamesDesign.aspx
I know some of you guys are actually pros, so I wanted to ask what you think of the look of it? Is near where I live..... OK, I'm going to be honest here because I don't want to go down the wrong path...
That course looks fine for what it is but understand that game designers aren't hired cold off the street. Those positions are generally given to people who work within the company who have worked their way up and proven that they know what they're doing. If you want to be a game designer, then this course certainly won't HURT your chances but it's not a golden pass key either. You're going to need to design games, a lot of them, and get them into finished form. That will impress a prospective employer a lot more than a piece of paper will. Again, the course seems fine and I won't want to be a wet blanket - but you're going to have to do a whole lot more than get that diploma if you want to be an actual game designer. Passion and results first, paper degrees second. IMO. As well, and it did help, not least because I learned alot. Getting the actual job is going to take a portfolio, and university is a good place to start putting one together.
Most likely alot of your tutors will have worked in the industry as well, so their advice is going to be useful. It's true that games desginers have to work their way up, but not always from the most lowly positions - its perfectly possible to start in level design and get there. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression about working your way up. Yes, I'm not saying you have to start off as the janitor. All I meant is that the odds of you starting as a game designer are very slim.
