For a long time I have wanted to be involved in the games industry, and i face even worse prospects than you, I am in Australia, I am in a school that doesnt have a name like yours.
I and a number of other core people who want to work in the industry set up the Newcastle (AUS) University Computer Gamers Society (http://cgs.wox.org), whilst we do play a fair amount of games what we also try to develop links between developers over here and people looking for Digital Entertainment careers.
Its been hard work trying to be noticed, but after 2 years its kinda working. For the first time our school will be helping us this year, and not just our student union and we hope to have some deve,lopers come out and look at potential jnr employees and talk to us. We also visit every event involving game development we can.
I think what we have been doing is working. I dont know if its going to be a solution for you though.
OH and if you are a game developer, or some one else who might be interested in helping us out please contact me here bedel@dingoblue.net.au
In one weeks time I am forced to loose some thing that i have had for almost ten years. My email address, some thing that has never changed since the first time i was on the 'net'. Whilst most of you have experianced this before I hadnt.
So I thought
How do I get a email account that I wont have to change ever again? hmmm I hate web based email so hotmail et al aint going to do it. How about I ring some ISP's and ask them how much it will cost. After ringing them I found that none of the major players would stoop to selling some thing so droll as just an email account. So I ran a small isp that I they went through every thing I needed to do to set up an email service for me.
I dont think they will all die out not whilst they provide services that I cant buy any where else
Ive regretted encouraging people to 'chain saw ' their friends http://cgs.wox.org
hmm we even got in the cities paper as a strange club.
Guess things are differe down under
The best game I have ever played and it is only about human interaction would be the board game diplomacy. The rules are childish but the game play is unique. I havent played for eight years and there are still some people who dont talk to me over it!!!
