what was more fucked up: Lang hanging up on the dude with the RV idea or Jeff moving on from that one application before he even finished reading it

Was that the UPF when they were at PAX that they deleted?

Jeff doing THE RAID, Danny could help do that.

Well it did start with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet into videogames for a really long time, especially Xbox 360."

Danny just invoked The Raid in the context of potentially facilitating it.

Seems like he kind of thought it up on the spot, so I'm not holding my breath.
But still.

Anyone have the podcast where they read the resumes?

Didn't catch the Recore stream but I doubt I'll watch it since I'm getting the game already. I'm always interested in new IP, even when it turns out to be just OK.
Yeah and nowadays it's even harder so, you gotta stand out and show what you're worth. Not to mention the unpredictable nature of the industry.
As much as it's kind of a dream job of wanting to be working in vidya games, I'll have to want that dream so badly because basically I'll have to change my current life inside and out for it. Thankfully, I am expecting some fantastic news soon concerning something far from vidya games which I'll be talking about on here with you guys for some advice.

I think the odds of that are probably slim, it was well over a year ago at this point, it's probably for the best. They quickly took it down and replaced it so in some respects it's probably not worth digging up.

you could maybe try the wayback machine, but i don't know if that archives associated files too.
Depends on when the archiver cached the page. It wasn't up for very long. I doubt any cacher caught it.

you could always try scrubbing stuff like SoundCloud or iTunes or something like that to see if they didn't get rid of it there

I think they'll be extra careful at this point, they were sort of lucky to catch it so early last time.
I think who they hire is going to come down to how they label the opening.
Is it a "NEWS PERSON" or is it just another editor/personality?
If it is an editor/personality, i think a "random" person has very little chance....
For "news editor" I think it is a little more open.
So wait, no one has an archive of this meanness?

It's possible that somebody does but the odds of them being in this thread seems low as it was such a long time ago and also taken down so quickly that i'd be surprised if it's still floating around in a way that's easily accessible.

Was Austin relatively unknown when they picked him up? If so I wonder if they'll go the oposite way this time around. Plenty of people out there that used to work for big outlets just waiting to bite on that, I'm sure.
He had had a few pieces that had gained traction by that point for sure and he had made appearances on some decently sized podcasts as well.

Austin did stuff for Paste, but yeah he was relatively unknown?
he also had experience with streaming, being part of... streamfriends was the name?

But yeah, it's obviously going to be ultra competitive regardless of who you are and what you've done. Might as well toss a name in there if you have stuff on your resume.

Man, working for GB is simultaneously my dream job and the last thing I would ever want to do.
Thank goodness I'm not qualified.

Coming to the end of a three year stint in a job, I can say with confidence that there's a lot to be said for keeping your passions and work life separate.

yeah, I think having the workload of someone like Brad, for example, would just overload me
it's just too much dota for one man
Idk, I think I can squeeze a 40 minute ql into my day.

Yes indeed. I wrote my thesis on video games while also trying to write reviews and record a podcast for a friend's game blog and I occasionally felt like I was going mad. I've been much happier ever since I finished the thesis, dropped the blog and relegated games firmly to the hobby pile.

How did this start? This Yahtzee rumour.
He has been absent for a few days...
It's a bit of a slow burn, but it's one of my favorite videos on the site.
He just moved to SF (same time Dan was in NY) and his Escapist Magazine contract is up at the end of this year.
