Is DeVry a decent college?

I'm a soldier in the Army National Guard, and in Illinois, the ARNG pays full tuition. I can go to any college in the state of Illinois for free. I want to design video games for a living. Not just program them, I want to dabble in everything so I can make it my own style of game. Would DeVry be good for this? Or would you suggest another college?

Hah, another failed video game fag.

It's good for a soldier, because the standards are much lower than a real college.

I want to design video games for a living.
You are fucked.

How about choosing something you can make an actual living from?

If you want to make games, do it as a hobby. Nobody is going to employ you as a designer unless you have something to prove your skills with anyway.

devry are spamfags

Hopefully they'll send you off to Iraq with all the other gung-ho fools, so one of Allah's messengers can despatch you to your grave.

DeVryyyyyyyyyy!

No. Don't do that. That's too far.
Bad mouth Bush, not the soldiers.
When somebody risks his life for you, at least show him some respect.
That goes for cops, too, even if some of them are dangerous loons.

Honestly Devry sucks, its not a reel college, dont bother going there you can even get a real degree. If you want to make game get a degree in computer science and make some games in your spare time, using a free engine like Ogre http://www.ogre3d.org/ or similar, or perhaps a cheap engine like Torque http://www.garagegames.com/ If you are going to make a game, make a good outline of what needs done and estimate a timeframe and try to get deadlines met. Also Making a game by yourself is not any easy thing and it will take ALOT of time.

I lol'd so hard; it almost sounds like you're serious.

How are they risking their lives for me? It's not like they are protecting me from anything. If the war was actually justified, then maybe.

OMFG you cannot be that stupid.

Try this thought experiment, Einstein.
Imagine no one was ever willing to fight for your defense.
Then what would your life be like?

>>16
I'm not sure actually, what would my life be like?

>>17
You'd be $5000 richer and have a pet dog named Cat. Instead of a brother, you'd have a sister. You'd be able to speak fluent French and would have just been cured of a severe case of genital warts.

You'd listen to recordings of Hitler IV's rally speeches while you shovel canal mud in a forced labor camp and hope you don't accidentally chop into your dad's corpse since he fell dead working in the same spot.

You would never have any hope of copulating. Not for the current reason - that you're an ungrateful, disloyal, smarmy, worthless shit bag - but because your pencil neck and acne covered body make you legally unacceptable to the Aryan Eugenics Bureau.

Then, one careless day, you whisper a little too loudly to the guy chained to you that you think soldiers are stupid. Soon you find yourself on the front lines facing the Cult of Mao who ceremoniously shove the little red book under your fingernails then eat you because they're starving to death under The Great Leap Forward.

>>19
Very imaginative.

But then again, if you apply "imagine no one was ever willing to fight for your defense" to the entire world, we'd all be living in peace and harmony. After all, defence is the same as attack.

How could I ever respect someone's decision to go abroad and kill people? I'm not naive enough to think that we don't need an army, but I still can't respect someone's decision to end the lives of others, I just can't. I know it's a necessary evil, but I don't have to agree with it.

>>19
meh, my life is pretty much like that. I work at a job where I am paid shit and I hate, well but at least I have the option to quit and starve amirite?

...and also, a eugenics bureau doesn't exist to stop me from copulating - but the women seem to do the job just fine without them.

That is, if things happened as you suggested as it would.

"Their" armies are usually compulsory.
Ours is voluntary.
The original point is to show a little gratitude to people who make a profound sacrifice from which you benefit.

You are probably in your 20s and going through the usual John Lennon phase. Life experience may eventually wake you up from that. There is a percentage of the population that is just plain evil (some of them post regularly on 4chan), that delight in the pain of others, and that would murder you for sport and post pictures if not for soldiers and policemen standing in their way.

IT's name keeps changing: Kaiser, Tojo, Stalin, Mao, Khrushchev, Khomeini, bin Laden; but IT is always there. And IT is gonna get you if you don't take care of business and support your military.

Get a real degree. No offense, but no game developer studio has much respect for this. If you REALLY want to work on games, create your own in your spare time. You don't need to make them polished like the Blockbusters, but you want to show off your skills. You also want a degree in Computer Science or a related field, say Software Engineering, or Mathematics. Companies have their own ideas, you'd pretty much just be around to bring those to life.

Want to design your own commercial games? Get millions of dollars to pay programmers to assist you and shit. Publishing would be even more expensive, if you choose to publish your own games.

Most of the articles here would be good for you to read:

I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it 'the terminator'. First I crouch down in the shower in the classic 'naked terminator traveling through time' pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Arnold or the guy from the second movie (not the chick in the third one because that one sucked) and I start to hum the terminator theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless, cyborg badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It ruins the fantasy.

No, you don't have to. Others do that for you, foolishly thinking that they will get a little respect and honor for getting their legs blown off fighting your enemy for you. Those poor, poor suckers. Eventually they will wise up after reading public discussions like this one. (God bless the internet.) THEN you may have to enlist. Or at least make a slingshot from your mama's bra to defend your cave hideout from roving bands of Guatemalan resistance fighters seeking to encircle Mexico. What? You didn't know there was military unrest in the Western Hemisphere? Has the problem been taken care of so well that you didn't even have to be informed of it? I wonder who is doing that.

What you guys aren't understanding is that is there is a large difference between attack and defence.

Defending your country is honourable, right and quite necessary due to potential conquest. Attacking other countries that pose no tangible threat is disgraceful behaviour.

I'm happy to support soldiers who engage in the former, indeed I am proud of them for it.

But I have nothing but contempt for those who go forth and mindlessly attack. Indeed, I have the utmost respect for those few recent conscientious objectors who risked imprisonment and other punishments to make their moral point.

No argument there. And I'm the dumbass who has wasted his day posting the conservative side of this thread. Damn spoiled kids. Don't know how good they've got it. Parents really need to start beating them shitless like they used to. Dr. Spoc was wrong, and he just about ruined the country.

Great for you. Good luck making your living designing video games.

PROTIP: Have you ever programmed anything before? My bet is you haven't, you will get to college and realize it sucks, and quit. Or, if you love2program, you will get through college and realize you can't get a job with shitty DeVry degree.

Go to UIUC and get a real CS degree. That will make you far more money than a degree from DeVry.

Shit, seriously. You can go to any school in the state and you are about to pick DeVry?!? I guess that means you should go to DeVry.

Making games for a living is NOT a good choice unless you are after constant stress and disappointment, heavy smoking, depression and dealing with lots of retarded things made by braindamaged people.
Developers who are not 100% devoted drop out after 3-5 years.

>>1
A lot of low-tier schools offer video game courses. It makes them a lot of money because so many teenagers want to learn it and dream of making a living in games.

I don't know DeVry, but generally good teachers are attracted to schools with good salaries. You could go see what kind of cars they drive, or Google for teacher salary discussions, or sit in on a few classes for a day. That last one is probably the best way. It's not unusual; just get the instructors permission.

When picking a school, also be aware that better name schools get you a better salary. "Better name" usually means selective, so that an A from that school actually means something.

I doubt that the chump who started this thread could get into a good school.
