Bandwidth vs. Broadband?

DSL through Donet at work (where I usually come to Enworld from).
Roadrunner at home.

Thanks for answering PC. It must also be good to tell the wife, I'm not gaming, I'm doing some research for work!

To do that, I'd have to kick her off the game console!

How did you manage to go from a job as someone who advises people on sleep to a video game designer?

EN World. And serendipity, of course, but it was the D&D design I've done because of ENW that really got me the job.

And no, there's not much overlap except during crunch time. I wanted to make a change, and I was lucky enough to have my passion overlap with a marketable skill set.

I don't do any coding. As a designer, I write, conceive and level-build. I'm responsible for the game concept and execution - what it is, how it works, and whether it's fun. The lead designer (at least in our firm) drives the game production process, making up the game; art and programming then make it look gorgeous and work correctly. The designer (and his game design document) acts as the repository of all game knowledge, and lets folks know how it's supposed to work.

Sorry for the hijack!
