I watched an awesome documentary about Wayne White yesterday...kinda made me wish I stuck with art. But then I can't actually picture my life as a full time artist, so yeah. I do think it's important to be creative/to create things and add to the world around you.

Right now? Game designer. Equal part mathematics, computer science, human studies and artistic expression. Plus you get to squeeze in all kinds of references from pop culture, mythologies, literature, historical events etc.
Nanotech development seems to be another neat job. Always awesome to create the future.

As someone who has a dear friend that is a director at EA, trust me when I say stay AWAY from the gaming industry.

I was actually thinking of going indie, starting something of my own. The AAA industry at this point is, I agree, toxic. People in that department are more bureaucrats than alchemists, and that's a bad thing.

Unless you come up with the next Angry Birds all I can say to you is good luck!

Unless you are extremely brilliant, or you've already got something with a lot of attention, you're probably completely fucked in terms of "getting into the gaming business".

So, Balotelli?
Either pro soccer, or rallying.
The first is unlikely to happen as aside from making the school team I haven't put much effort into progressing further. The second is only moderately more likely cause I plan on getting into amateur rallying soon.

After doing three guided tours around Playa del Carmen, I think tour guide would be a sweet gig for a while.

Yea, fuck the game industry, well at least fuck EA and the other major studios. Plenty of smaller decent studios to get involved with.
If you want to have some fun also look into the "serious gaming" industry, simulators, etc. It is a market that is growing right now and you end up doing some pretty interesting things.

wouldnt mind a bit more work and money tho :P
Change it to Artist, just in general. maybe with an � on the end.
i've dabbled with a few other mediums lately, as only doing music has become to monotonous for me. did some stuff in charcoal, my friend seemed to like it, enough to want to take pics and stuff. and i have a bunch of equipment to do oil paintings and i've only tried that once, so maybe try that again. also looking into making sculptures, as that's always been something i've enjoyed doing.
hmm ok, i just made myself a goal. I am going to have some exhibited at the Astrup Fearnley museum. Preferably near the Damien Hirst stuff, but also not too far away from Michael and Bubbles. within three years. wish me luck :P
also, if anyone of you are ever in Oslo, and you're even slightly cultured, you must visit the Astrup Fearnley museum of modern art. it is simply one of my favorite places in Oslo, I mean it's even up there with The Villa which is the 54th best club in the world, if you're to believe the DJ's who participated in the making of DJMAGS top 100 club list. Considering it only takes about 300 ppl that's no poor feat.

Can you ask him why his company destroys everything it touches?
