Re: Is It Not Politically Correct to Have an Opinion on Software?
Taking your fan-dom too far, and ramming your opinion down others throats is still considered "troll-ish", even if you are able to do so gently. Also, "best game engine ever made" is a bit of an exageration, and a lot of the users around these forums would consider such a claim to be a clear indication of a lack of… -
Re: Split decision, UE4 or Unity

Re: Education (university and work experience)
I went to the Art Institute of California - San Diego. While a lot of stuff I learned was self taught I did get a lot of connections that helped me get industry leads.
