Pre order anyone ?

The pre order Pandemic


Is it just me or have game developed raped this “exclusive content” wagon or what, I have started to slowly notice game distributors are having a lot of exclusive DLC if you pre order a game, which is good and all, but there is something sinister about it, it’s constantly in my face, like an omen.

It’s really weird how the cashiers are banging on about pre ordering this and that as if they have some kind of ulterior motive, ,maybe some shabby deals are going down, demon soul collection “ would you like to pre order this game boyy?!”
I guess the industry is trying to squeeze what little money we have! I almost fell into the trap, the sirens call is so enticing, and all of those freebies just for pre ordering and double points on my reward card!

Last blog?

Looks like we are finally here, last blog of the academic year, a review of the course.
Sooo let us go back in time to the beginning, my name is Randy Yaw Amoakohene but some call me raspberri, ha-ha.

I remember at the beginning I said I wanted to become a concept artist when the course is over, but then reality hit in the form of Christophere, Heatherest and Zen master Powell, I’m not going to lie, I was crushed but then the Zen master said “Hold on to your dreams in the darkness”...it was something along those lines. The point being you’re not going to become amazing over night and a lot of people will say you’re not good etc, but you must hold onto your dreams regardless because with them you will have the passion and drive you persevere and you WILL improve!

“Try not to compare yourself to others in skill, we all travel the same road, it’s just that your journey will be longer”


I noticed that the line between friend and lecturer is blurred, which is a good thing, it like a family than anything else, all prepared to help you improve and get to where you want to be, this course has been magical, in the amount I have learnt in a short amount of time.
I’m not going to go all technical and sound like a mindless student drone, programmed to write nothing but positives about the course, I do it because I believe it!

“You can’t run away from your problems, they will catch you! So face them head on!”

My intention was not to write an essay so I’ll wrap this up, overall, the course is great, believe it!
2nd and 3rd year work is awesome and inspiring, a potential future of GA cult members

Thanks musketeers !
