@ShaggE: I like the part where you say game design courses are a scam. Then your evidence is that game design schools are a scam and not nearly as good as game design courses at a reputable school.
...so, basically, go to a good college if you want your degree to mean something? What a fucking shocking statement. You're goddamned Sherlock Holmes!
I like the part where you misread my entire point, then get a little crazy with the sarcasm juice. The SCHOOLS are a scam. SCHOOLS. I said the game design courses are worthless at these schools. Again, so I'm extra clear: at these schools.
@SeriouslyNow:
Again, irrelevant, but I write as a journalist and critic. Because your next question will be along the lines of "prove it", know that I'm still new to the field and building my portfolio, and that I'm not claiming to be Jeff Gerstmann 2: Gerst Harder.
Now... how, exactly, do I sound as you say? Are you still on about the teapots? What point did I make that shows a lack of knowledge? I ask this sincerely, because I'm not just arguing to argue. By all means, show me that these advertised game design courses are a boon to aspiring programmers, and I'll be fast to admit that I am mistaken.
You write as a journalist? No you don't. You play some games and review them. A journalist actually interviews the creators of chosen subject matter, a journalist tries to get a proper understanding of the inner workings of the creative process and the industry which surround said creative process. You fucking play some games and write about them on some blog. I know it, you know it. So, please, instead of shitting on Schools you can't afford to go to or don't want to push yourself towards just go back to playing some games and writing about them. There's nothing wrong with playing some games and writing about them but that's not journalism and it certainly doesn't give you carte blanche to talk about Game Design, Tertiary Qualifications or the state of the games industry.
That's odd, I seem to remember typing "journalist AND critic". Are you even reading my posts? Are you just taking a word or two from each one? I've read your posts in the past, and you don't seem like an unintelligent guy, so why are simple concepts like "and" being lost on you? Moreover, when did I talk about the state of the games industry? Instead of addressing my arguments, now you're inventing arguments, attributing them to me, then shooting them down? Really? So I can say "you have no proof that hamburgers are made of paper", and we'll still be on equal argumentative grounds.
And yet again, you miss the point anyway. I'm shitting on these schools because they are fucking people over. Also, why would I go to these schools that are offering classes for designers and programmers? That makes no damn sense.
I see no qualitative analysis of the schools which are supposedly 'fucking people over'. All I see is statements. Is that how you talk about the games you play?
What do you want me to do, ask for a free press enrollment? Apples and oranges. Use Google. It's there for a reason. Look up the lawsuits against these colleges. This isn't a "once or twice" thing, or only one college, it happens again and again.
