This is coming from someone about to start college in central USA, but looking into majoring in Computer Science. Getting into the gaming industry would be really enjoyable to me, but as mentioned before, I'm in central USA, and it seems there really aren't many options for me in this industry in the future. What would be your suggestion for me (or anyone) getting into this field in my position, and "getting your foot in the door"? It just seems so hard because a lot of companies seem to be on the coast, or at least not close to the state of Missouri! Haha. Regardless, thanks for the AMA and your contributions to the game, have been a proud Runescaper since 2004!

Interesting. I'll definitely have to give it a lot of thought! Thanks for the reply, it's not every day I get a chance to ask a professional his thoughts! Haha

Coming from a USA student in central Missouri, what are your thoughts on a person like me getting into the gaming industry? There isn't a whole lot of choice out here as far as gaming studios go. I love games, and am going for a Bachelors in Computer Science, but it seems most companies tend to be on the coast. Your thoughts? Also, how would you suggest I get to know people in the industry as well? Thanks a bunch for the AMA, and thank you for the awesome games!

Wow, that's awesome!:) Glad to know there is a little hope without having to go so far away! Thanks a bunch for the reply, means a whole lot, and keep doing what you do!
