Move to the west coast then.

Fuck that.

Yeah, but one day I'll probably live west coast. Thinking Seattle or Portland. Then maybe I'll look into it.

Keep sending in your resumes.

He should. He seems to have the gift for writing a good story.

Yeah, people are such babies about moving. What are the odds, really, of finding a job in your home town that's going to really make you happy? I mean I understand if you have a wife and kids and all, but that's not most of us here.

This is just laughable. Ritual is mentioned FOUR times, but they have NOTHING to do with any of this. Meanwhile, the companies that DO have something to do with this are mentioned ZERO times.

Can I have her job?

I thought it would be apparent to TNLers that by signing your soul over to IGN you're agreeing to join in with a cadre of idiots who serve as little more than corporate shills with journalistic delusions trying to sell ad-space.

EDIT: Oh, and MarkRyan, if you know this lady be sure to tell her that she's just won the 'TNL Gaming Journalism Idiot of the Week' award, not only that but she's our first inductee.

Either that or you join a group of people that genuinely love their jobs, have fun working and hanging out with each other. I don't think "corporate shills" is an appropriate term for a group of dudes in t-shirts playing and writing about video games.

I'm still unsure what she did wrong (but then I don't know anything about Prey's development).

I think it's the fact that page article sounds like it was written by a monkey with down syndrome.

Then again, that might not be it.
