EA, Here I Come!!

It was raining pretty hard today by the end of the day, but that is not what I'm here to talk to you about. I recieved a notice a couple of days ago that there was a presentation going on at EA's Burnaby Studio. I decided to sign up for it since it was sort of my goal to work at EA Games. At first, I went to the bus loop because I thought that's where they said that their limo bus was going to be, but it turned out to be the shuttle loop near Brock Hall. If I knew, I wouldn't have needed to walk to so far.

At EA Studio, they just talked a lot about the hiring process and how to apply through Co-op. Afterwards, this girl gave us a tour of the studio. The studio was *SO* nice. They had a store downstairs that sells the games that EA make. After that, she took us on a tour of the second and third floor of the studio which was responsible for making NBA and FIFA. I think my favorite was the NBA one. They had all these posters and framed CD games hung on the wall, it was really cool.

Unfortunately, the games from EA that I'm interested in are the driving games while the studio in Burnaby was only responsible for some of the sports games. The driving games are made in the studio downtown. It's still local, so I'm good.

Some people ask me, "Why EA Games?" Well, I just think that it would be much more cool than to work at this telecommunications company or whatever that nobody knows of. You see, when I tell this people that I work at EA Games, they'll know where and what it is and also think it's really cool! Therefore, I can be doing stuff that I like, AND I can get recognition for my work.
