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.
Well, it would seem that their marketing department has been branching out and subverting other schools in the industry to join them, while browsing around I saw a banner that said ‘Get Paid for Playing Games,’ I haven’t found the add again but you can go directly to their site at Video-Game-Schools.com/v4 to get in on the fun.
Done with the fun yet? Yes? Okay, hit the back button and you’ll get an annoying browser prompt asking you not to go as an Live Agent is online to answer any of your questions and a IM box pops up. While you might be tempted to just move on that would be a mistake. Here’s the conversation I had with Terry. I thought it ended rather well:
