Hey I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend this Prof. I'm sure he's a wonderfull guy. It's just given a choice between studying with an academic ans learning to make games with people who really do that...I'd rather learn from those that have real experience.
My choice for an education at this point and time is as follows:
A) Go to one of the thousands of Comp Sci programs and be bored by academics going on about useless theory. Only to get out and be told by gaming employers that I wasn't taught the correct information.
B) Go to Digipen or Fullsail and learn game programing from professional teachers.
C) Stay in my parents basement and bitch about how everything is crap.
Or Maybe:
D) This program (taught people who's games I love) will teach me usefull information?
I don't know if this is the case? Only time will tell. I'm just saying it seems like the best choice so far.
And I wish Levelord and the others well!
Ok so the choice is study with the guy who wrote a book about "Making The Turkey Farm Game"..or study with the creators of Doom, Age of Mythology, Duke Nukem, Quake ect..ect....Hmmm....
I think I'll take those who DO! And this time teach.
Recently the world has been flooded with so called gaming programs that are taught by wannabes.
It's about time that real game developers create a real gaming school!
With the long list of names behind this "guildhall" it looks like the real deal is here!
This one looks fundamentally different from the North Texas program and it's many look a likes out there. This one is designed and taught by experienced gamers.
Not wanna be Comp Sci profs.
Finally a real game school!

Digipen was looking good to me but now I think I'd rather study with the likes of Levelord and Randy Pitchford.
