Notre Dame learned how outclassed they were against Alabama pretty quickly.

@stan_boyd The original Mortal Kombat film is actually quite good. The sequel, however, is complete garbage.

Just a head up, I ordered mine online earlier this evening, but instead of shipping to my apartment, I decided to do an in-store pickup.

I was surprised when I got an email less than 10 minutes later saying my Nexus 7 was ready to be picked up. Called the nearest Gamestop and sure enough, they had some in stock and were selling them already. Unfortunately, this all happened 5 minutes before closing, but I'll be in there tomorrow morning to snatch mine up.

I'd call before ordering online and having it shipped at this point. They don't ship on weekends, so more than likely it won't go out until Monday, then it's a 3-5 day transit time following that (free standard shipping). Do an in-store pickup if you can, and call your local retailer to see if they have any in-stock.

@Renunciation @Conker1985 @TheEveryMan You're assuming he spent everyday (and if he did, that's still impressive). Factor in taking weekends off, and you're basically looking at roughly 8 hour days Mon-Fri - essentially a full time job for a year.

@TheEveryMan I doubt most people have the luxury to spend an entire year, 8-10 hours a day, to make a mod. He picked the right time to give it a shot, that's for sure.

@WickedTeddy @Conker1985 Yeah I wish him all the best. It's a very cut throat industry, and it takes a lot of talent to even be considered. The job pool is relatively small, yet the demand is huge. All you can do is keep working on the reel, and applying.

Helps to know the right people too.

@Darth_Kane If they believe his skills are up to snuff, they won't give two sh*ts about a diploma. Believe me, I went through school with a bunch of graduates who couldn't 3D model their way out of a paper bag, yet they all held degrees.

A college degree speaks very little to your abilities. It's just a piece of paper stating you completed a set of requirements set forth by a university.

@WickedTeddy A lot of modders simply do it has a hobby, with no serious intentions of pursuing a professional career in the gaming industry. It isn't until after they're contacted and offered a job that they consider the possibility.

This kid is just stating up front that he's serious.

@Pilgrim117 Do you really think everyone who works in gaming is a programmer? The concept artists aren't. The character designers aren't. The level designers aren't. The only people who are programmers are.... wait for it.... programmers! :)

Also, a degree doesn't mean much in the gaming industry, outside of the really technical jobs like software development and programming.

@eze_sl89 I'm sure you're a real lady killer as well.
