Posts: 34 Group: Cadet Member #10 Joined: Sep 23, 2008	Hey guys, I'd like to start by saying great site! I usually go by Xenos online, but I see lots of other people are using their real names, so mine's Brandon if you prefer. I'm 19 and live in Michigan in the USA. I'm currently working toward a Computer Science degree which will hopefully lead me to a job in the gaming industry. It's been my dream to make games ever since I got my old PSOne. FFVIII was the first Final Fantasy I ever played and I do say that it will always be my favorite. I relate a lot to Squall as I am a very reserved, quiet person. Anyway, that's a little bit about me, let me know if you have anymore questions.

What part of the games industry are you hoping to get into? (I'm currently on a course to learn C++ to both get a decent paid job and in the hopes of making independent games like "The Path" later in life.) Also, thank you for the compliment about the site, it is greatly appreciated! Oh, and out of curiosity, how did you find us? I am currently trying to work out where most of our visitors are coming from so that I know what the best way of increasing our members it.

Posts: 34 Group: Cadet Member #10 Joined: Sep 23, 2008	To answer your first question, I too am learning C++, but I plan to move on to C#. I forgot to mention this before, but I'm a full blown World of Warcraft addict as well, so I'm hoping to find a job programming for Blizzard or any other company that makes rpg's. A different option I have considered it starting up my own gaming business, as I already have a graphics artist and developer. I actually found your site on Google. I can't remember what I typed in, but I found you guys on the second page of results.
