Back in 2004, I dropped out of college to pursue a career in video games. I got incredibly lucky. I worked alongside some truly great people, and also some real shitheels. The wonderful humans FAR outnumbered the terrible ones.
I had a really good run, which came to an end last year with a layoff. That sucked, but I was able to find a new job with a company I like and people who inspire me.
Looking at the unending series of gaming layoffs, I don't even know where to begin.
