GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Aug 4, 2009

Hey there guys! I just thought I'd better post a blog to let you all know that I'm not going to be about as much for a while, I'm finding that this website (particularly posting on everyones blogs) is gradually taking up more and more of my time which could be spent doing other, more constructive things- e.g. building up a portfolio so I might actually get a job one day.

So I'll still come on every so often and try to comment on a few blogs, but if I miss one or two then please don't be offended. I'll also be pretty inactive in most of the unions I've joined (sorry guys) but I am going to try to keep active in the Forever Harvest Moon union, as I helped to set it up and it's something that I'd really like to be a success (if anyone reading this is a fan of harvest moon and hasn't joined yet then what are you waiting for??? lol)

I'll probably be back online on Friday for the traditional birthday blog, but in the mean time I'm off to teach myself XNA

Happy gaming my gamespot chums

Well, have fun out there. I should probably follow your example and do something a bit more constructive with my time, but I probably won't. I'm a sucker.

I wish I had thought of this during my exams I did revise really.
Hope your job hunting goes well ...wait, I thought you had to have a CV...whats the difference between a portfolio and a CV?

Actually, I was thinking about you today when someone on the radio mentioned that Scottish Computer Gaming courses only accept the very best candidates.

Well, enjoy your birthday and it's obligatory blog.

Good luck with building up your portfolio, what's XNA? Looking forward to your B'Day blog.

@rob3rtkid - yea sorry, I'll still be around every so often though

@EarthThatWas - Cheers! yeah I've been messing about for far too long, it's time to pull myself together!

@Dudersaper - Thanks, yeah you'll see me there!

@vj02 - Good luck to you too! If you get a job first then put in a good word for me

@AudioPrison - A CV just says your skills/qualifications, a portfolio is a collection of examples of work that you've done- like game demos and stuff I've not really got anything bar my university work at the moment.

@Denny_Carmassi - lol yea it can be quite hard to get in some places - but finding a job afterward is even harder!

@-Absinthe- Thanks, yeah tell me about it!

@munchlax99 - thank you

@Gatalis - yeah I know what you mean - the temptation is always there!

@GameGoddess33 - It's no problem, I like the union and I'm no quitter Have a good hol btw

@david_lck - Thanks XNA is the set of tools provided by Microsoft that let you develop games for Windows/Xbox 360/Zune. It's free too which is a big plus!
