For me definitely. I'm one of those 'one is too many and ten isn't enough' kind of drinkers.Best decision I've ever made apart from quitting drinking.quitting drinking was your best decision ever? :( :( :( :( :(
Guess it depends on your style. Losing your weekends because you drank too much is fun for awhile for those of us with the privilege to attend college, but it gets old after awhile when you can't concentrate for the whole day afterwards.
I rarely, if ever, drink heavy anymore, but I like to have a glass or two of wine a few times a week. When I take a few days off, my body seems to respond well. Makes me think I want to drop the wine habit so I can concentrate and produce more outside of my job.

I started out as a comic book artist/writer and illustrator.
I then was a songwriter for pop-stars for a bit.
I then worked in the video game industry as artist and art director.
I then worked in animation as a writer, director, and art director.
I then worked as a photographer for a bit.
I then worked as a composer for video games and film.
I then worked as an instructor for art/CG.
I'm now focused on writing novels in my free-time (while teaching art/CG). After having done all those different creative jobs, I find being a novelist the most agreeable with my lone-wolf personality. I can play well with others in a team and I'm a good leader and teacher, but my preference is to work alone and do my own thing.
That's some good experience that you have here! Your avatar choice makes sense now.

I image it's quite hard to push eSports in places where it's never been big. It's similar in the UK, where the scene exists, but the quality of players isn't there, and the interest from sponsors isn't there either.

Definitely one of the biggest issues is the high turn over of people here. Places like the USA, Europe, and regionally Jordan have a more solid foundation to build their scenes. Dubai, and the GCC in general, have populations that are constantly in flux because they compromise mostly of foreigners. Because of that we have a lot of 'uneducated'/young gamers who are superficially interested in competitive gaming, so you see a lot of exploitation from groups like Power League Gaming who take advantage of foreign companies unwillingness to personally invest in the region and hold sham events and tournaments just to say they have 'reach' in the region.
Since a lot of the people affected by their actions will leave the country, you don't have much accountability for your actions sadly.
There are other orgs here but they're generally insular/ afraid of new people so it's hard to connect with them or build better connections. For all intents and purposes, I act like I'm the first person to do this since everyone I've met doesn't want to grow the field if it means other people will enter it.
You'll find a lot of talk of "we're doing it for the community" and "we're only for the gamers" from orgs here and then find out they're taking out of prize pools and getting nice deals with sponsors. I'm upfront about our 'for profit' status which has bothered some people but I think it's healthier for everyone approaching it like that.
That's definitely cool!
Thanks, it's something that needs a lot of work and we're always pushing to improve the quality of our broadcasts. We don't have anything or anyone to really go off of here, so we're kind of working on building a good foundation for casting in the region outside of the few corporate 'shill' casters here. Slow and steady.
Post by: Ngt on Sun, 14 December 2014, 18:10:59
Yeah I bet this requires so much work. Considering you're doing it on your spare time that's real nice. A friend of mine created an org around a team he created also. IIRC it was for StarCraft 2. However it started to grow and he wasn't able to dedicate the needed time. I think he shut it down but he helped his players to find another good org before.
That's awesome.

Honestly I'm more like a contact center manager with a better title, hopefully my title will change to manager of operations (and my pay will reflect) in the next few weeks.
Before this I installed commercial A/V equipment, was a cable installer, satellite installer and line cook at a few spots. I've been doing this for like 6 years now.
My family has been trying to get me to come work outages for a while now but I make more sitting behind a computer all day so I'm good.

Definitely not something that I had ever thought of doing, but Shell offered to pay for part of my school.
Organic is a buzzword that I hate hearing used the wrong way too. However, organic means "of or from a living thing". So, if it's natural latex that would count. Just like crude oil is orgainc.

I'm half the technology department for a county wide ISD (intermediate school district). I do a mix of system administration and desktop support. In other words I'm basically responsible for the computers, ipads, phones, network, servers, printers, etc.
Have some prior work in the same field, the stories are the best, once a guy told me: "My keyboard and mouse are not working". When i went over to his desk he had risen his desk(electrical riser) so much that the cables had been torn, the computer was actually bolted to the ground and in such an angle so the USB connection wouldnt release. Only time i couldnt hold in the laugh :D
