While browsing the Engadget GDC gallery, we noticed the above image and thought: what a great opening for a Friday morning. So many gamers dream of working in the gaming industry, and for so many different reasons. Some people are truly inspired to work on or with games in some capacity, and some just want a job that they feel they could truly enjoy. We could go on, but we want to ask ... is it (or was it) a dream of yours to work in the gaming industry? Really? Or is it something that's just a casual daydream? We're curious about just how dedicated you are to the gaming world. And if you answered no to the above, what is it about the industry that you don't find tempting?

Whenever you're thinking round getting a new product by store, people generally like to explore purchase by comparing various selection, comparing features, and reading reviews in order to find something that compete their desires. A prominent part of this process is reading reviews by end users of the products to get a feel for capability that has been in provisions of ease of use, the mark they are getting, and other factors. Opinions tend to vary generally but reviews are generally a good test as to how the merchandise is received. You can see some excellent reviews at www.SupremeSpecials.com by clicking on “Product Reviews”. There are third person reviews on a wide variety of item for consumption group. The great thing on the order of third party reviews is they tend to be fair and give you honest acumen into the pros and cons of the different possibility.

I am very interested in working in the gaming industry. I have for several years now. I've been supporting little projects, fangames, indie developments for a while now, helping out with the odd thing I can do, planning, story while forever coding my own little games and experimenting. I feel game design is for me in someway, it's just I'm not sure if I'll ever be good at what I want to be: coding.
I mean, as a backup I aspire to be a translator and hope to go to some game localisation if my coding dream falls flat on me. But mark my words, I'll be working in the gaming industry, somehow in the future.

Hmm. That was supposed to be me. Even if I have problems with cookies sometimes, I'm still happy to have a game-related job.

I'd love to get into the gaming or technology industry as a journalist. Unfortunately, I decided to do my University degree in Politics, which isn't conductive to working in most of the other areas in the games industry (even though I'd quite like to).
Long story short, I current have my own games blog and two years to do on my degree, then I'm wanting to do a Journalism post grad and move to either London or San Fran in an effort to get employment. If all else fails, I can resort to being a home affairs/politics journo or do a Doctorate and start teaching at a Uni.
