Join myself and our guest writer Brett, as we take a closer look at Full Sail's Computer Animation and Game Design programs, and bring you the highs and lows throughout our 14 months." Game programming and design education have been in the news a lot more lately, and it's interesting to see a hands-on perspective of what these programs have to offer.

Ever since TechTV mentioned them, the server has crashed. These guys offered movies on game design for free.

he was pretty useless. They taught him how to use all the nice gear, but thats about it. Well, he had no talent, it sounds like 99% of the people there with him were the same way. Smoking weed everyday, learning f*k all, having nothing to show for it when its all over. Game programming is just not something you go to school for. I got an entry level job at a big game company, worked my way up fast by showing the ability to learn quickly. 2 years later I was a senior programmer at another company. No degrees, no certificates, no fancy overpriced schooling. Chances are after going to a school that focuses on game design, you will be sick of games by the time you are finished.
