The term is "my main objection" not "my main objective" but I'm sure you will come up with something snarky to respond with. Go for it.

totally off-topic, would you mind sharing some of your favorite music theory books? I'm getting hooked on it myself but I just have a couple online sources I've been reading.

I'm fortunate enough to have a name so dumb, no one else would ever use it.

If you were in the northeast I might be able to, but California is where the most opportunities are. That, and Austin TX. Just use that degree as a strength instead of a weakness. Lots of people in this industry did not study anything that would be considered a "game industry degree." I did Computer Engineering thinking I would work at Intel. So much for that. Just build up your portfolio of indie work and start networking. And don't forget to mention that you write music in your spare time. That's a good hobby to have.

love this thread.

I'm a game producer. I live in Princeton, New Jersey but I work in New York City. The last game I worked on was Draw Something, which did pretty well. I just started a new job at a gaming company in the financial district of Manhattan and every morning I walk by the Word Trade Center site. I tend to work on music during my hour-long train ride to/from work or when I can't fall asleep at night.

I'm married. My wife works in New Jersey, which explains why we live here, and on Saturdays we attend a synagogue in central Jersey. I have a great circle of friends there and in my free time I might be hanging out with them or some other friends I've met through work or college. On weeknights my wife & I cook dinner, watch some TV shows (I'm currently hooked on Mad Men, The Walking Dead, Bob's Burgers, and 30 Rock to name a few) and I'm usually in bed by 10 so I can be up by 6am.

My other music project is all about disco house and I spend a lot of time collecting & listening to music including vinyl records and CDs, even though my DJ setup is all digital and I'm usually just listening to MP3s. I have a lot of videogames and I'm always buying more though I don't have much time to actually play them. I've always been obsessed with collecting things and aside from the vinyls I collect Nintendo memorabilia which means I have a lot of unwrapped Nintendo products lying around our apartment. I also got back into reading books recently and I'm close to finishing The Hunger Games trilogy which my wife insisted I read. It's OK I guess.

Oh and apparently I'm running a 5k this Sunday though I'm kind of out of shape and I don't think I'll get a good time. Oh well.

This would make all our lives so much easier.

I've been out of work the past few weeks and I pretty much spent all of Friday and the weekend working on these! It was fun
