GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Hello! Not posted a blog in a while so here's my latest update!

Well firstly I would just like to share with all you pokemon fans out there that I now have a 100% legal Shaymin on both my Diamond and Pearl games A few Game stores have been holding Pokemon events so me and my bf went. I'm really happy now seeing as Shaymin is my favourite of the ledgendaries (who couldn't love a little green hedgehog??? lol) Don't despair if you're reading this and want to get your own - I think the events are running until next Friday at selected stores so check the official website to see if you can get one too

Also I am currently in the process of starting up a new union for one of my other all-time favourite game series - Harvest Moon! If anyone is a fan of the series (you don't have to be as obsessive as I am lol) then feel free to comment below and request an invite -if you message quickly then you might even get to be a charter member! Ooooh the excitement

In other news I am approaching the end of my 3rd year at uni now, once it's over I will (hopefully) have a first class degree in Games Software Development! I'll actually be able to put letters after my name (BSc) lol I'm currently looking for a job in the games industry (ideally programmer but I'll take anything tbh) but it's not proving to be easy to get your foot in the door- everyone is wanting experienced applicants but they're not providing any opportunities for graduates like myself to get any experience I'm going to keep applying and hope for the best.

@GameGoddess33 - yea the games industry is generally a very hard nut to crack I'm afraid! There also tends to be a surplus of people looking to get into the design side of things so unless you've got some really high quality, eye-catching pieces to show prospective employers then you might have a really hard time Your best bet is to start building up a portfolio asap (e.g NOW lol) maybe even get your own website to show off your work. Good luck though

@Pakhair - Cheers, yea I think it would be awesome to get my name on the end credits of a game... even though it would probably be so small you couldn't read it... or moving too fast to see it

Congrats on the Shaymin and near-degree lol. Maybe you can get a job at EA, help them out a bit, or and amazing company such as Blizzard or Valve

Yea I've applied to all of them (I think, it's getting hard to keep track of where I've sent CVs and where I haven't lol) but haven't heard anything back yet... fingers crossed though!

Yea I totally agree with you MrSaturn, I don't know how they went from cute little hedgehog to a random deer/dog thing! lol

I'm studying to become a graphic designer and 3D animator and I also hope to get a job within the games industry. Good luck with your course.
