A little inspired
I'm beginning to feel a bit inspired--
finished Mass Effect over the weekend, and have proceeded through most of the new bits of Valve's Orange Box since yesterday (specifically Half-life 2: Episode 2 and Portal). The quality between all three titles has had me projecting myself, imagining possible futures, in the down-time I've taken between gaming sessions.
Particularly, I've been imagining possible career destinations that I must've forgotten about in recent years. The video-game world has exploded predictions since the last time I really considered ending up finding a satisfying job therein, so much more heavily focused on pushing product to maximize profit . . . except for the golden-boy studios, Valve right at the top of them (along with Blizzard, Bioware, and to slightly lesser extents Bethesda, Bungie, and Epic).
Landing at any of the above-mentioned studios . . . would be success of a very old dream.
Hoping this inspiration leads somewhere productive in the next few days . . . or at least before I'm back in Illinois for my second-to-last semester of undergrad studies. Have maybe three full days of work, probably with another full day needed for reviewing things properly, and The Burning Five could finally be ready for public viewing.
It's a good sign . . . I think this time last year, I was rather depressed.
