Well, I would like to call myself a game designer but in reality I'm a fairly intelligent high school student who's hobby is doing video game development related activity's with the intention of majoring in the subject. So yes I made it all up... except for the first one... I think.

I wise person once said, all it takes to be a game designer is to design a game.

You don't have to get paid for it :P

Mind you I've never played any of those games, probably because I was born in the Early 90s.
