That explains your random acts of unacceptable violence, all the weapons under your bed and your clown hat

Hey Newgrounds, never submitted anything but been coming here for a while. I had been doing research for schools that do video game programs- Digipen and Fullsail(out of Florida) had came up as some of the best. I had recently emailed Valve to ask them where they would recommend; and they told me Digipen. My situation is that I don't want to move so I found a program close to me in Boston that I will be starting in 2 weeks. cdiabu dot com/3danimation.php , it's a program at Boston University where you have to complete the 3D animation program first, then go onto game design- to say the least I am extremely excited for this to start. Good Luck to others looking for training in game design but I am sure everyone here and on the newgrounds staff will tell you practice and learn

Hot preloader...but shouldn't it be animated? I'm "trying" to make an animated version right now, in case you're wondering.

Lol, that was funny.. If only your long drawn out flashes were half as much.

Damn, MC beat me there.

Wonchop, you know how I've rather dislike you for years. After reading that I think I really dislike you (again). That was a very unfair generalisation on the audio portal artists, even I expected better from you.

I love watching people get burned.

It warms my soul and gives me hope for this website.

Oh sweet, popcorn.

Want to know who's not getting any though? Wonchop. Because he's a douche.

Such a harsh bastard you are Ross. Hallowe'en is a time of giving and kinship - so that the commadrie and kinship it creates gives us a better chance of survival against the zombie hordes

Hmm... game idea....

We actually don't celebrate Halloween in Western Australia. I'm allowed to be an ass.

I had a recent inquiry about the best schools to attend for aspiring game programmers. I assume that Digipen is still one of the best programs, but I know a lot of schools have been moving into the realm of game development, so I thought I would ask - has anyone done research on the topic? I know Drexel has a growing game development program, for anyone in the Philadelphia area, but it's hard to say how it compares to established programs such as what Digipen may offer. If you have any info to share, please share it!

Tom if you check out www.gamedev.net they have a list of Game programming shools and links to those schools as well. As well as a link to Gamasutra which also has a list of schools. Here r some schools I found in Gamedev.net in PA.

Duquense Univerisity Multimedia
[Added: 10/17/2000 Clicks: 7615] Pittsburgh, PA New Program at Duquense Univeristy in Pittsburgh offers a Bachelors and Masters Program in Multimedia technology. Classes include Character Animation, modeling and animation and game creation.

Entertainment Technology Center @ Carnegie Mellon University
[Added: 3/21/2004 Clicks: 2744] Pittsburg, PA The ETC at Carnegie Mellon University offers a two-year Masters of Entertainment Technology degree. The high concept behind both the Center and the Masters program is having technologists and fine artists work together on projects that produce artifacts that are intended to entertain, inform, inspire, or otherwise affect an audience/guest/player/participant.

Westwood College Online
[Added: 3/27/2007 Clicks: 283] Across the USA Offers degrees in Animation, Game Art & Design, and Game Software Development, as well as related courses in things like Graphic Design or Communications.
I hope this information helps you.

Congrats on finding a program that's close to you I know a few people that graduated from Boston University that work with me. The reason for my reply/post is that originally I was going to go to Bristol Community College in Fall River, MA, for the reason that they have a A.S. degree program for game creation and game programming. Sadly, living in the Lowell area has prevented me from going to this school, so I'm going to MCC for computer science and then to UMass. Lowell. Anyway before I get too far off track, I don't know what part of Boston you live in but I thought you might be interested in this information. Either way good luck

Yeah tom, could you PLEASE end the chain mail and ban anyone who participated? PLEASE?!?!

i wonderalvin will make a kickass flash for haloween he should have a few of his sprites already probably

Gotta Love Halloween

Time for my stupid questions... hope u guys or Tom can answer me this.

1- Lets say i submit my Halloween flash today ... will it still count even tho' its very soon?

2- If its very soon ... will i have to submit it exactly on October the 31? ( Its just that I think the portal is gonna get loads of spam and worthless stuff might get in the way )

>.<, no offense, but if you haven't done animation yet, your chances of winning any cash prizes are pretty slim. but go ahead, prove me wrong, I'd love to see it :D

Heh, I was just kidding.
But it would be fun.

Awww, Tom, you made my hard-on go away.

COCK JOKE

The new stamper flashes are hilarious.. but I only see 5, not 6..?

Could I make a sprite Flash for the contest?

The Vancouver Film School... In BC has a wonderful 3d arts design and Houdini mastering program and after that is over you can take the game design class.... look them up. they are aways from philly but they are good.
