what kind of background?

Hello all, I''m just curious how many people frequent the game writing forum have an education in the humanities (English, History, Philosophy, Classics, etc.). Please don''t construe this as an attempt to put down those who don''t have degrees. I will be the first to admit that formalized education doesn''t count for much in many cases, but I''m curious how many of you have or are currently studying the humanities at a post-secondary level. Thanks! R.

quote: Original post by Cirdan
why are people who are interested in computer and spend a lot of time with it called "nerds", and why are writers and musicians (for example) who spend at least the same amount of time for their work kind of heroes or something ????

actually i call those people "art fags", but then again i''m a nerd so who cares what i say right?

btw - "art fag" is not meant as a homophobic term, so please don''t anyone get all pissed about that...

Krez, consider using ''artsy fartsy'' instead. People in high tech always refer to artistically oriented people as ''artsy fartsy''. It''s like an industry accepted term.
