    We'll teach you that an addiction to No-Doz for our obscenely long crunch times is good. You will receive no medical reimbursement should you fail this assignment, and your grade will fall to an F.

    I remember way back in the day, when I was just a little tyke subscribing to Nintendo Power, they mentioned a college in British Columbia called the DigiPen Institute of Technology, who's ONLY focus is video game development. In fact, I believe the only thing you can major in is a B.S. in "Game Development". They've been in the field considerably longer than USC's game development school.

    Anyone ever heard of http://www.digipen.edu/ before? They're in Redmond, pretty much across the street from a Microsoft office.
