  1. Find the correct department that can utilize your skillset and when messaging them, try not to sound desperate and also I forget to mention this before but have some kind of side-project that you do that shows off your skillset. For example, I post small animation videos on FB almost every day ( except when I am extremely busy like now.). It can serve as a type of portfolio which will benefit you. Most importantly, don't take the rejection too personally and don't get discouraged - take it as a learning process.
  2. Very good points as well and they will have to send a ton-load more money on marketing because they do not have the publicity and reputation that the Big Three have. As a matter of fact, if Sega was to make a console right now, they would probably outsell the Mad Box console just on their reputation of making consoles in the '90s so, I am not that confident that they will even be able to compete with the Big Three.
  3. What kind of gaming videos does he make? How regularly does he post new videos?
  4. My current platforms are a custom-built desktop, a gaming laptop(although I use it for work mainly, I hardly game on it.), a tablet and on very rare occasions my cell phone. I have been a gamer since I was around 2-3 years old and my dad got me into gaming when he bought me the original Nintendo.
  5. Welcome Mya!
  6. I started using better software for animation, accounting etc. and I was a bit bolder in my approach like messaging Youtubers, companies like Google etc. I also stopped paying for sub-standard services such as: Dropbox.
  7. The lesson I learned was sometimes you have to take it to the chin. - About March this year, my original website and a couple other accounts got hacked and taken out by a hacker - leaving my business I had been building for close to a decade in ruins. I had to take a couple months off and just had to re-invent my way of doing business and incredibly, I bounced back within 3 months after starting to do animation again in August. Something like that would have completely destroyed most people and that was my initial response but in reality that hacker did me a favor - he/she made me re-evaluate everything I was doing up to that point and made me even more hungry and determined.
  8. Brilliant List of games lol.
  9. And also to see lol.
  10. Gotcha You also have to develop your own style of playing. I find that by developing my own style, it gives me a competitive edge where my moves are unpredictable to my opponents and I end up destroying them.
  11. I am a Freelance Animator/video editor and I just go out and find clients via sites like craigslist etc. or message the media department of a company with a proposal. I work by contracts that I draft up and I am hoping to break the $8k US barrier this year.
  12. lol. That'll be like in the next 3-4 or God knows when. By that time Sony and Microsoft would have likely developed consoles that can play at 60 fps at 4k resolution so it is just an empty promise. On top of that, they lack the publisher support that Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have so I am not getting my hopes up at all.
  13. It was just a cash grab by Bethesda and a lot of the things they promised would be in the game, they haven't delivered on. It is one of the reasons I have really started to dislike Bethesda - they put out unfinished games and depend on their modding community to patch the problems while charging you a premium fee for the game.
  14. I built my machine from scratch and yes, I would recommend the setup although I am going to change my setup to the next set of AMD processors and graphics cards that will be announced at CES. I had bought the parts individually and it took me one year to accumulate them all so I would have to check how much it cost me at the time but a pre-built budget PC from a company like Cyberpower PC will run you something like $700-800 US. You can find discounts on the parts on Ebay which would cost a bit less so I would recommend building from scratch. There are plenty of tutorials on Youtube that can show how to do it easily and effectively - that's how I learnt.
  15. lol yep.

    Gaming on Linux?

    I have never really tried gaming on Linux but from what I can tell, Linux lacks a lot of the integration that Windows has when it comes to drivers for certain graphics cards so I wouldn't consider the notion.
  17. Yes. That's the one!
  18. Hawali also came up with legislation for loot boxes and few other states are drafting up legislation for them as well. I do believe other countries are doing their own investigations and if their research proves micro-transaction items like loot boxes are a form of gambling, I do think the Government will come down pretty hard on them.
  19. lol. I get what you mean - the naivety of youth has screwed us all over at one point in our life or another.
  20. I am more of agnostic - I believe in a divine presence that governs our existence but I don't believe in Religion aka man's view on "God". A simple book or saying by some person cannot answer who or what is "God". That divine presence is beyond the comprehension of most humans.
  21. I am sick of the cold weather too - especially at nights I have to turn off the AC -_-. Feels like a freezer in my apartment otherwise.
  22. Exactly.
