Get Paid to Play Games!
Many of you may have seen the commercial for a video game degree for Westwood College, you probably cringed your you just started laughing painfully. I’m afraid this little school in CO has gotten lots of love at places like CGTalk and become an international joke within the industry.

A Review of The Spirit
I’m really conflicted reviewing The Spirit because it was both a masterpiece cinematically and a terrible money in every other respect.
So let’s talk about the visuals, they were mesmerizing and I think even more effective then Sin City. The soft snow always playing about the camera’s focus gave a uniquely sense of depth within such a low key movie. The lighting was also...
