				<description><![CDATA[Wow CraigL you lost me for a second but I think I got the gist of what you`re saying. I`m a thinker, and yes I do feel like every experience up till now has been God trying to prepare me for something later. Although this is the case it`s still tough to kn[...]]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Okay, I get the CS problem. But my reasoning behind D&amp;B`s (thanks
for the name) is to get market-specific wants and desires. You`re not
likely going to get much feedback on games from a bank customer,
generally speaking.

This is, after al]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[yup you`re correct Craig. The name you`re thinking of is Dave and Buster`s. It`s a fun place but I wouldn`t want to work there. While you are correct I could learn from what end users want; I`m doing the same thing now in the bank and clothing store jobs. [...]]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Not only that,
but you wouldn`t have to work as a developer for a competing game
company. Instead, you could work in many associated areas of the game
company.

In fact, "games is games." ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[What if you did both? Why not begin to develop the game in your own
time, while working in the game industry to gain experience in sales,
marketing, and management? Not to mention getting the funds to pay the
rent, eat, run a car, and otherwise, keep bo[...]]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[I`m starting to see a pattern here. The last 2 posts prove that there may be a market for a software toy/ program that lets you make your own game. There are some now but none are what I`d call mass market friendly.

But let`s foc]]></description>

games, but you`d start with a template for various players, and choose
how many people in the band. Then they`d play]]></description>
