I have always wanted to be a game designer and would have never gone to school if it wasn't for the local college and University but now I will get experience and hands on versus google and eguides and lurking forums on how to make a game work. Being in the city I am in I will get a lot of work experience even if its contractual work until I land a job I will enjoy doing. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4577#post-22104 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 21:13:48 +0000 Hunam 22104@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I worked as a tester at Rare for a while. Worked on the last dashboard update. It was a cool job and I got to see a lot of how everything works.</p> <p>Well... to be honest, the mystery is better than the reality </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4577#post-22102 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:55:40 +0000 Phoenixblight 22102@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@spiderLaw </p> <p>Its in Austin Texas.

Usually I took in calls about Xbox live like connecting it to the net, or the RROD and checking to see if there in warranty etc. Its a horrible job with pretty crappy pay I got more money from working at Walmart as a stocker than I did that job. </p> <p>Not sure about where you live but if you want to get in the industry (game industry I assume) I would suggest going to school for a related major if there isn't a game development related one (programming, art.) I am very fortunate to live in the Game Development Capital in the US to have not just one school but two to pick from that have degrees that specialize with the industry and they even have it broken down into three aspects as it should be (Design, Art, Programming) and its supported by local developers; Bioware, NCsoft, Midway (prior to bankruptcy) and the schools hire people that not only have a degree but actual experience in the industry. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4577#post-22097 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 15:14:21 +0000 ManuOtaku 22097@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Phoenixlight you work for xbox live, thats good iam always wanted to work in the industry at least once, on any type of job, not for money or the work, just to know i were part of this indutry in the other side of the coin ,may i ask how was your experience? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4577#post-22096 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:56:48 +0000 Phoenixblight 22096@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>"Actually Christmas 2007 XBL was down for 2 weeks also there has been hackers " </p> <p>No it wasn't. You must have had internet problems those two weeks it was down for 2 days if that.
