I understand where you're coming from, because I feel it is fairly similar to where I'm working at the moment. Chris pretty much nailed it with his post, its something I'm looking at doing as well. Moving to bigger and better studios where I can be pushed, where I can learn more and not just repeat the same old stuff over…
this all sounds like wallowing self-indulgent forum wank to me.
