On a completely different note...

flyboy_fox... I had my interview at Newport School of Art, Media and Design today. It went pretty well.
However, I decided to switch from Computer Games Design over to Animation, instead. I think it suits me better. What I love in video-games has never actually been the gaming itself. It's the characters and the worlds and the story and narrative that keeps me interested. I don't really want to make games. I want to tell stories. But the cool thing with Animation is you can take it to a video game company and still get hired. So I can still choose that path if I want. But for the long haul, three/four years in Uni, I think Animation is more where I wanna be.
Also, I can now add Wales to the list of countries I've visited: England (where I live), Ireland, France, Spain, Cyprus, Gran Canaria, Italy, North America, and now Wales ^_^ Shame about the £5.10 crossing toll though; not cheap! And getting a little lost in Caerleon... I kept missing the signs in English because the Welsh translations were distracting me. Welsh is a pretty language... but I still don't understand how any word can start with "ysb" XD (I know, I know, some of the roman letters adapted make very different sounds in Welsh, but I can't help that it looks odd to me :P). I think I'd like it in Newport... the surrounding areas are very green and hilly, and it's only 40 miles away, which is less than an hour by car.
I haven't decided on Newport though. I like it, but there's still other schools to see!
