Woooooooo!  It’s only $12.50! (It was! You can check current prices here) There are some styles of games that just don’t work with mouse and keyboard.  For me, those are the old school 2-D side-scrollers (Super Metroid, Super Meat Boy) and 3rd person (the newer Resident Evils and Dead Rising).

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: My Last Four Classes

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

Before I dropped out of The Art Institute of Las Vegas, there were four classes I would have had to take to finish.  The following is a list of them and the role they played in deterring me from graduating:

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Review: Registration Week

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

When I was a flight attendant for Comair, a lot of us noticed something was going down when pilots were quitting left and right.  Soon after, the company closed its doors.  There were many reasons why those pilots and many other employees were quitting – things within the company grew… Continue reading

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: Former Anti-Productive Policies

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

These are a few policies the school changed. When you see what they changed from, you will be flabbergasted! ***There is a policy that the school has put out this week that photographers are not allowed to do artistic nudes in the photography studio at the school.  This is news to me… Continue reading

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: Quality of Graduation Work

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

Here is an example of what the school expects out of its [film] graduating students:

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: Starter Kits

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

The Art Institute of Las Vegas issues Starter Kits to new students.  These are meant (I guess) to help students get acclimated to the school and give them some supplies to ease the study-struggle. Students do have the option to turn down the Starter Kits; however, I do not recall… Continue reading

The Art Instiute of Las Vegas Review: Holidays – The Little Vacations

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

Today is October 13th, 2014.  Most of the country is celebrating the Federal holiday of Columbus Day.  Others are celebrating Native American Day among other holidays.  In Nevada, however, we have Nevada Day.  For The Art Institute of Las Vegas, this means students and staff do not receive today as… Continue reading

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: Projects without Training

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

Recently, an instructor was fired from The Art Institute of Las Vegas.  At the time of the instructor’s firing, the instructor was teaching at least five classes.  I’m not 100% clear on the incident (I try to not post anything I haven’t dealt with first hand), but the collection of stories I’ve gathered have matched… Continue reading

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: A Class Like Every Other

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

Another big reason I have taken to posting these posts on AILV is because of the only class I was really looking forward to in the last year:  Short Form Media Production.Over a year ago, I took a class called Short Form Scriptwriting.  In this class, we wrote 15 page scripts.  These… Continue reading
