I'm probably one of the most knowledgeable person in the world regarding modding a very specific video game engine used exclusively on a handful of old Xbox original games. I learned all of this about a decade after anyone actually played those games.

I got no advice on this one, it just kind of worked out for me
Doing well on the GRE definitely helps but beyond that *shrug*

as in scents, I used to work in purchasing the shite for a chain of high-end drug stores so I ended up learning a ton of stuff about it.

Oh hey, someone mentioning Balder's Gate 2 got me thinking.

Classic NES games 'Kid Icarus' and 'Spelunker'. In the former, every level, every chamber, how to get every ending, beat the pot game every time, get all 4 health powerups in the first level, and the secret score that determines when you receive attack powerups. In the latter, the 2 secret locations on every level to jump for a random powerup, what each of them (except one) does (no one has publicly discovered what the stupid little red dot ring does) and what you have to do to obtain the keys through each progressive playthrough.

I know alot about the Tampa-2 Defense as run by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears. Everything from scheme to personnel integration.


In fact, in college I had a prof who was a big bears fan for some international political economy class, and I blanked real hard on an essay for a test. I wrote 5 pages on the Bears Tampa-2 and received half credit

:snoop:
