Re: Degree and College Advice
online AI is shit straight from a dogs ass. I went to AI and had classmates taking some online classes (I believe it goes through Pittsburgh) and the learning outcomes were a joke.

Re: Gameloft accused of illegal, dangerous working conditions

The market recovery fund is used to help union contractors (companies that hire union employees) to bid on jobs. This allows the… -
Re: The Crunch Cast
Thanks for fielding my question, guys. I really appreciate it! I would really love to integrate some type of Polycount challenge for my students. Maybe in the spring. They have a large final project that I think could jive with that type of format. Jon's point on this idea is excellent, we can work in parallel even if we… -
