Comments on: I’m a Game Designer, Dammit. http://trippenbach.com/2009/08/10/im-a-game-designer-dammit/ Journalism, game design and social media meet at last.

It's like saying "I work in movies" but doesn't yet have the attractive Hollywoodesque cachet. That'll change though. In the meantime, I still think the best thing is to give examples, like "I designed that awesome website at omigoditsawesome.com . . . What do you mean, you've never heard of it?"

I often struggle to answer the "What do you write?" question. Of course, I do not have a cool fallback title like game designer, so I generally resort to: "I work on the web." Which usually moves the conversation on to other topics. Wish I could be there for BeeBCamp 3. I'll look forward to following along in the Twittersphere. Philip: I love this post.
