Keeping it under wraps until we are definitely sure :)

I believe you meant:

“persistence and the ability to hammer out stories rapidly”

Great article! And ditto on everything you wrote in regards to game development as well.

I am thinking about applying to indiegames.com someday myself and I hope when that day comes they need someone.

The last point is quite interesting, heh. I guess it is much like game development, where most things you do or play related to games you see from a developer perspective and auto-crit things too.

Although my opportunities haven’t been quite as profitable as yours (yet, hopefully!), almost all have come through connections acquired through Twitter. And some great friendships have been gained there too which always helps to make life nicer!

Call me crazy or spoiled, but I just can’t get the color scheme the way I like it on TFTs. It all looks so… poor, strange and unnatural. It’s just depressing.

That just sounds mental to me!

My home setup is a little less than ideal since one monitor is actually a TV: larger and brighter but lower res. But is still quite nice :)

Never really liked it though. But I think that’s down to my dual monitors always being different brands (Apple’s own display+Dell, naww man).
Nice for video editing though. I like to use the smaller display as a full screen preview window.
