nano_mooseSO YOU KNOW WHAT I GOT?
I GOT AN OFFER.
FROM QANTM.
And also a t-shirt. And also some discs full of their student's work, test runs and animated shorts and stuff.
The writing quality on many of them is - really rather astonishingly bad. I AM NEEDED HERE, CLEARLY. Also, it kinda weirded me out how many had taken reference from/directly copied actual published work. One had a man playing chess with Death, and though it was mostly original animation, there were also bits that had been copied from Geri's Game, you know, the Pixar short. There was another that had the scanners from Half-Life 2 superimposed over a life-action film (with a hilariously bad actor blowing them up). I wonder if the college allows it, and to what extent? I will have to add this to my list of questions for the interview. ...I sure hope I don't get anyone in trouble asking about it, but the professors are supposed to be from the industry, so I guess they'd recognize them?
This week was going to be Finish The Damn Game Week, but our computer is being a cockmunch and whined when I tried to reinstall Beyond Good and Evil. Maybe I can get an Xbox copy. In the meantime I'm rereading Starfighters of Adumar, which is...a Star Wars EU novel okay shut up but it's actually good, I swear. Look, I'll demonstrate. Context is that the 'she' in question wore a 3PO unit head on her shoulder called Whitecap to record things, which made her look as though she had two heads, until it got broken. She took it off and put it in a cupboard. Hardly anyone recognizes her without it, leading to the following exchange:
Tomer looked at her, confused. "Where's your other head?"
She gave him a sorrowful look. "When I was walking around today, I met a young man who had no head. Just a stump that suggested he had a long, sad story to tell. But of course he couldn't, because he had no head. So I gave Whitecap to him. The man now has the voice and mannerisms of a 3PO unit, but they're better than nothing."
Tomer's mouth worked for a moment or two. Then he turned his glare back on Wedge. "There. Now you've corrupted her too."
I'n thinking of posting up some ficrecs...fandoms Firefly, Ico, Spider-Man 2 and Samurai Champloo. I just have to find the links again.

Galbadia Hotel is awesome
Date: 2007-01-12 08:17 pm (UTC)Have you played any of Beyond Good and Evil, or just tried to install it a bunch of times? The music's awesome. Anything beyond that might be considered a spoiler.
I think I like Wedge based solely on the fact that he's corrupted her into saying things like that. Hee.
It makes my iPod happy
Date: 2007-01-12 11:26 pm (UTC)I played it up to the Slaughterhouse level and then got stuck but I really enjoyed it! Although it's really more of a console game than PC. And yes, the music is very awesome. That's mostly what I was downloading (along with stuff from Ico). I really wish I could finish it. Stupid spazzy computer.
Hee, actually Wedge is more of the straight man of the bunch. I deleted a paragraph of long-winded explanation here because all I can really do is demand you pick up the X-Wing novels. Especially the Wraith Squadron run. Aaron Allston does great character humour.
