I envy you. I love EA games (expect NBA Live). Congrats man

*Waits for flames*

wha!

at least you recognize one of the worst games they make

but I don't EA is that bad and I don't think they're really good, their games lack a "soul"

That's great... You have to start somewhere and it doesn't mean you have to stay with EA forever. :P Just start making connections... Now make sure you spot lots of bugs and tell us some of the more interesting ones. :tickled:

Ah Merc guns and T&A, VERY SCHWEET! :buttrock:

My ultimate goal is to found my own game developer, I don't plan to stay EA's or anyone's bitch for very long. Maybe a few years after I get my master's degree and some experience under my belt. I love sports, but I prefer actually playing the sport then playing the simulation.

Oh man, congrats again dude! I can't believe that we are connected through WS and a former classmate of mine in high school. Too insane!

Congrats! I am in the process of trying to get into a gaming company. Not sure whether to go for pure PC or console gaming.

I don't know how, but you managed to get that picture into this topic, and it somehow makes sense. :buttrock:

thanks for supporting the downfall of gaming by working for EA.....

It could have been worst, he could have got a job for THQ... now that's the bottom. At least, EA has the EA Big lineup and have done a terrific job with MVP Baseball 2k4.
