I got so excited… when I found this page on How to Become a Video Game Designer. Yay, at last someone can tell me!
But alas, it turned out to just be an advertisement for a book. 🙁
But then I saw this -=K00L=- ad on G4TV about How to Become a Video Game Designer! It goes something like this:
“We’re game developers! And game designers!”
“Dude, can you believe we get to play games ALL DAY?”
“My mom said I would never get ANYWHERE playing games!”
Boss: “Can you guys hurry up, I need another game designed!”
“Okay, just a minute, we have to tune up the graphics in level 3 first!”
Agggggghhhhhh.
So. Bad.

YIKES!
This was more level design than game design, and is genre specific, but I thought these ‘cliffy notes’ were pretty good:

I got two frames into the video liked by chris’s post, and IMMEDIATELY shut it. No one with a dukes-of-hazzard hairdo is going to pitch me about game design!
Sweet! I have been waiting to give up PR for game design. Everytime I see those crazt programmers sitting under their desks rocking back and forth and muttering about deadlines and math I know it’s for me. Can I sign up if I don’t live in my parent’s basement?
Hi,
Fascinating…
Do the designer(s) of this “commercial” never talked with game developers ???? How many game development studios or publishers will accept “students” from this “school” after seeing a such ads ?
This news is quite funny by the way… But I’m worried to get such things in Europe.
