Are Lloyd's playing favourites in the IT sector? - Page 2

Its true. long before i got my certification, i worked all sorts of jobs as well. I was also taught you work for what you have. adn nowdays i believe if i get soemthing i havent worked for, then it wasnt worth getting. you appreciate everything a lot more if you work for it.

lol nope i dont think id like to work in the sahara either.

Mellijelli · 08-11-2009, 06:28 AM

LOL I was thinking of raiding tombs and such when I said id do archaeology in the desert actually

I fancy the idea of finding hidden treasures from way back and then researching the stories behind them, where they come from and how they go there in the first place, but if its building a pyramid in the boiling hot sun with a whip being lashed at my heals if I dont do it right .... HELL NO

PhoenyxRising · 08-12-2009, 06:13 AM

~~Engineer Babar~~ · 08-12-2009, 09:00 AM

~~Engineer Babar~~ · 08-12-2009, 09:02 AM

hahahahaha. We started from Lloyds, reached hacking and we are now on tomb raider. hehehehe

Mellijelli · 08-13-2009, 01:40 AM

PhoenyxRising · 08-13-2009, 01:41 AM

lol I play tomb raider yes. I have seen the movies and own just about every game made :D ( ok so i MORE than like tomb raider )

HAHAHAHAHAHA still interesting conversation though. either way.

Mellijelli · 08-17-2009, 12:16 AM

Wow it seems like we have quite a bit in common then PhoenyxRising

well as far as the likes in games go that is hehe

~~Engineer Babar~~ · 08-18-2009, 12:33 PM

I also like computer games alot.. I am crazy about the strategy games.. Like AOE series, stronghold series etc.. What about you two.. Mellijelli and phoenyxrising(Besides tomb raider. lol)..

PhoenyxRising · 08-19-2009, 02:07 AM

Age of Empires is brilliant yea. I focus a lot on FPS, like tomb raider, Crysis, stuff like that, but also love games like need for speed, resident evil, The lord of the rings, Dungeon Seige, the GTA series.

Mellijelli · 08-19-2009, 02:12 AM

Well Engineer Babar I also enjoy strategy games, all the Silent Hill games are my favs and the Project Zero series of games were good too, Im busy playing Resident Evil 4, GTA SA was brilliant and i still play it now sometimes, there are so many I could not possibly mention them all

PhoenyxRising · 08-21-2009, 01:09 AM

Lolz the list is endless really.

all hail pc games......

Mellijelli · 08-31-2009, 11:53 PM

You know Im just thinking the gaming industry must be coining it if you think about it.... what kid in the modern world do you know of who does'nt own a pc, playstation, xbox or ntendo?? I wonder if there is a great demand for Game Developers? Maybe this is an area that graduates could look to go into if they are interested in the IT world, what you think?

PhoenyxRising · 09-06-2009, 11:41 PM

I think its a good idea that MelliJelli. I mean, people are always buying new games, lol me included, but its not only gaming, where you buy a disc and install it, look at online gaming. like WOW, you buy discs, register, and play it online. so many other areas are affected by that as well. :D

~~Engineer Babar~~ · 09-07-2009, 12:06 PM

Its a great idea to become a game programmer but unfortunately there is no proper training institute for this. One has to develop this skill him or herself.

Its all about interest.

Mellijelli · 09-09-2009, 01:34 AM

Really Engineer Babar, how does one go about gaining these skills by urself?

~~Engineer Babar~~ · 09-09-2009, 08:11 AM

yup mellijelli. hmmm. As far as developing these skills, one has to become a really intense gamer. You should must be excellent in the programming first. Must learn graphics. Start developing small games with the help of your programming skills. Actually mellijelli all the big and huge games are developed by a team of people. Nowadays, games have a big developing team than the films. lolz. So team factor is also important. From which country you are mellijelli and whats your age?

PhoenyxRising · 09-14-2009, 01:59 AM

I'm sorry, but i might have to disagree on that Engineer babar.

Have a look at Crysis, The Crytek team alone has literally hundreds of people working together, so teamwork is important, but, you have animators, developers, people actually comming up with ideas for the games marketing, and loads more.

Most animators have college degrees in animation, developers have software engineering degrees.

I mean the same code we use to make an application is used in the making of a game, its how its implemented that matters after all.

So to an extent you dont just need to be familiar with graphics or coding. sure you dont HAVE to have a degree, but id bet in the long run it would be desireable.
