Hello everybody...
Haven't posted on here for ages because I (used to) live in a school and it was blocked on the internet there. Joy.
Anyway I can now get decent internet because I moved to Cambridge... because I got a job as a trainee programmer at
Frontier! Yay! Unsarcastic joy!
It is so ridiculous. I just emailed David Braben (of Elite fame - first game I ever played!) completely randomly, said I wanted a job for my gap year. Unbelievable they offered me an interview, so I went there with nothing but DBPro skills and A Level results and got offered the job!
I start tomorrow, so I spent the last week or so learning some C++.
It's just weird how one week, I'm buying Edge, and it has The Outsider on the cover and I think - "One day...", and then about a month later I'm working on it (well I probably won't be, but here's to hoping).
Also, I got a phone interview for an internship at Crytek, but it's in Germany and I already said I'd do the other thing.
So the moral is, get good A Levels then just email every studio advertising in the back of Edge and they actually might take you even if you have absolutely no experience.
