The shoes must be filled!

If only Justin's shoes weren't different sizes... 9 in kids and 12 in adult. Dude has Wyrd feet.

[twilightmikasa]

HAHAHAHAH. I'd love to work at a gaming company, but I'm only a mediocre painter (when I actually find time/motivation to paint), and while I can appreciate good art, I can't draw.

[Fetid Strumpet]

I thought you were wearing his shoes now. Isn't the position for someone to fill your shoes next to the leaky boiler?

[Grayfax]

Need someone to go get coffee, tea, cornbread muffins? Worked my way through college as a waiter / assistant manager at Cotton Patch.
Sweeping and cleaning the floors? Sure, I can do that.  Helpdesk, troubleshooting, listening to people gripe? 20 years of that stuff...
InDesign, Photoshop? You betcha (and even fun programs like Corel Ventura and QuarkXPress)!
Sadly, all game design experience is just in my imagination.  But if you need someone that can do everything else... well... moving to Georgia would be challenging and my wife might not go for it, but a middle aged man can dream, can't he?

Can you guys hire me to proof read your material? A pet peeve of mine is misspelled words and I see them all (OH GOD I SEE EVERYTHING)... I'm at six errors so far. Three of these were in Asami's story

I accept payment in fluff and firm handshakes. Firm, not squishy.

[Grayfax]

Yeah... that's the problem with proofreading... you can read it 12 times by 12 different people and STILL miss things that you will IMMEDIATELY see when the printed copy comes in.

Entirely This. No matter how well you write, edit, proofread, or otherwise, sometimes your brain just forgets how to English.

[Dogmantra]

Any chance of a carpool across the atlantic?

[Omenbringer]

Wish I was closer to graduation...

So,

does the one time I worked on a board game (Age: 6ish) count. Naturally it was cleverly* designed.

 

* I made sure I won, when playing the game.

I read somewhere you should change the font after every readthrough so your brains "sees different stuff". I've never tried it myself, sounds plausible though.

On the one hand, this could probably help.
On the other, it probably won't considering I usually write and develop on -2 hours of sleep

On the third, inexplicable hand, grafted onto my tailbone, I wish I had some way of getting to georgia so I could justify an attempt at throwing my hat into the ring.

Is this... is this the Mountain Goats reference Mason has told me about!?

I totally prefer Mountain Goats references in resumes...

 

I'm joking, but that'd be awesome.

[Cinnamon Bear]

I think he's got enough "Going to" songs to cover just about any resume entry.

[H4ml3t]

I've almost got my cover letter and resume polished. I'm very excited at the prospect of throwing my hat into this ring!
