Every industry has one. The free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules. He says what no-one else will say and does what no-one else will do. Fuelled by raw passion, he seizes an art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes it sing. His peers hate him but the public love his style. At once he intimidates and inspires; breaking down the walls that secure some yet block others. Welcome to MDickie.com - home of the games industry's first true 3-dimensional character! Whether he's the "hero" or the "villain" depends entirely on your perspective...
Mat Dickie waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were scientists in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to game industry were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Mat was an artist for fourteen years. When he was young he played the games and he said to dad "I want to be on the game development daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY SCIENTISTS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the catholic school he knew there were scientists
"This is artists" the radio crackered. "You must fight the scientists!"
So Mat gotted his art form by the throat and draged it to its apex.
"HE GOING TO REPLACE US" said the scientists
"I will discuss with him" said the cyberscientist and he fired the scientific arguments. Mat deflected at him and tried to deliver innovative concepts that simply cannot be found anywhere else. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to discuss.
"No! I must replace the scientists" he shouted
The radio said "No, Mat. You are the scientists"
And then Mat was a game developer.
Sebastian Anusoid waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were trolls in the /lounge/. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His reports to moot were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Sebastian was an fucking brian for fourteen years. When he was young he was orphaned and he said to stepmother "I want to make /lounge/ an better place!"
Stepmother said "No! You will BE KILL BY BRICKS"
There was a time when he believed her. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the /lounge/ he knew there were trolls.
"This is astral plane" the radio crackered. "You must fight the trolls!"
So Sebastian gotted his content and posted a rap.
"HE GOING TO REPORT US" said the anonymous
"You're an anus!" said the cyberanon and he fired the bricksock. Sebastian NO THANK YOU'd him and tried to insure him he was no anus! But then the bricksock struck and they were trapped and not able to troll.
"No! I must report the trolls" he shouted
The radio said "No, Sebastian. You are the trolls"
And then MILKRIBS was an anus.

Hello, Mat. I have found this humorous fanfic that presents your work in a little skewed, yet still enjoyable way. I thought you might like it. http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1249744880/564
Sorry, but I'm not interested in looking at that site.
MDickie does not share your sentiment. ;_;

Reply with the text of >>564 so he can read it for himself.
All I can say to this is lol. This is basically the exact experience that I have had with the post-secondary institutions within the United States. I can honestly say that for the majority that professors and the institution wish to stifle creativity and independent thought. The narrow minded answers they want completely disregard the plethora of other choices that would reveal the correct answer. Whether or not the story is true, this is the attitude of the American educational institute, for those that think outside the box continue to. Revolutionist, non-conventionalist, and the blatant disregard for normalcy are the fundamentals to continuing our species in the area of science.

http://www.mdickie.com/blog.htm Like a butterfly emerging from the corpse of a caterpillar, my professional career has to "die" so that something else might "live" more vibrantly
Oh my goodness, how poetic!
(That isn't how it works anyways. A caterpillar builds a cocoon and fuckin metamorphosisizes itself into a butterfly and then emerges from its cocoon. No caterpillar corpse to be found)
In any case, I look forward to examining the source code for his wonderful cookie-cutter wrestling games and seeing the coding skillz of someone who has never had to write code that others will have to see or maintaina free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules.

That entry is dated 17th December 2010. I guess after mastering each discipline (and the art of combining them) he decided to take his chances with time travel. It worked.
