Plenty of things require programmers outside of the video game industry. If sitting at a computer typing all day is what you really want to do with your life the field won't make much of a difference.

Well it's not a post about some crazy guy doin crazy impossible stuff, it's just a question to see what you guys think.

I'm currently waiting to start a course in computing, which will then hopefully lead to a career in game programming. But i'm not sure about one thing. I seem to think i'm going off gaming, whether it's just a weird time in my life or whether i'm genuinely going off gaming i do not know but.. could i still be a game-programmer if i lose my love for gaming?

any opinions provided i'm very grateful for :D

Im trying to play a ranked match on fifa 09 at the moment with 2 people on the same console however it will not let a guest sign in, if someone else tries to sign in as guest, the ea servers kick me out and i get the message "Cant sign into Xbox Live. Please use a profile that contains a valid membership"

Anyone know how to get around this?

Yes I do. If it were free, then people would constantly change their gamertags, resulting in confusion. You would never know who was who if they changed their gamertags so frequently

You said it well my friend.

Can you lose skill points or experience points and go down in rank if you lose or place low in too many matches? I'm thinking of letting a friend play on my account, but I know he'll lose and I don't want to go down in rank...

Obviously you'll never be able to afford AS much, but still you'll be able to get a bit. Just get ones that you really want, not ones just to test. :)

Congratulations on your new house also :)
