I'm sorry, but I have to agree. I see this a total exploit of the growing interest in game development. With that much money, you can easily pay for tuition at a top notch cs school, like UT Austin. 3K/semester for Texans, 6K for others. And you'll get a real degree, not a certificate. I'm sure you'll learn a lot about developing games, but you'll definitely lack in the basic skills you get from taking the theory classes first.

That with the fact that I just can't understand a grown man calling himself 'Levellord', I'd say you'r better off with a real education. Not to mention that you'll never get a job doing anything else other than developing games. You know, quake may be pretty fucking rad now, but in 10 years from now, you might want to do something slightly different.

I can hear it now:

Student: "Mr LevelLord, how much money from my tuition did you use towards your new BMW?"

LevelLord: "Son, I made so much fucking money bullshitting about games to you zipperheads, that I can't keep track of it anymore."
