Just some advice from the Liberal Arts perspective - go out and grab a couple fantasy series such as : Harry Potter (I know it\'s the bane of adult - fantasy books but cmon deal with it), The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan, The Lord of the Rings (live em love em

), the Dune series, and any other fantasy / science fiction stories/series...
Just reading books of this nature should sharpen your imagination and give you the edge that alot of younger guys have. If you\'ve read them before, great! By all means read them again or find more books! I know these things take time, but if you want to work in games a good imagination should go along way (with technical skills of course).
