Today was a great day.
I went to an interview/informational session (at my school) with EA games. It was really cool. They showed us some Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II trailers and behind the scenes stuff. Also their office is the best i've ever seen - its got basketball courts, soccer fields, beach volleyball courts, a 24-hour employee gym with a personal LCD screen and cable TV on EVERY arobics machine! Plus free vallet parking and only a mile from the beach (in L.A.) They also talked about the industry as whole - how the next gen consols are causing a major slump in sales and thus they had to fire 5% of their workers. But he said software engineers were still very much in demand.
I talked to the representative and I'm hoping to get an internship there this summer.
Also they're going to send me any EA game i want for free!
