Well that was interesting, and definitely entertaining. XD hahaha Kudos for you in finding a good fun job.
I would love to work in the gaming industry, unfortunately I have next to no experience. Where are they located and is there a way to just simply get your foot in the door so to speak?
I just applied to the company for an IT position. My cover letter involves accusing most techs of being little steryotype 80's nerds with pocket protectors, and I listed this at the end of the cover letter with a picture of myself with a huge beard and a green lantern shirt on: ------ you want some little buck tooth pencil neck dude in your server room who can barely open a side panel, look elsewhere, but if you want to have A VIKING come to your desk when you have a problem? YOU JUST FOUND IT. Oh and don’t think that’s not a nerd up there, look again, green lantern shirt? Nerdtastic. You have an issue with someone from outside the office screwing up a computer? This guy won’t just fix it, he will throw the offender in a dumpster then throw the dumpster out as well. You want tech support that can move a whole server rack off a wall to get at the cables without needing a team of horses and some kind of block and tackle setup? (Those things can be heavy!) BAM you got it. You want someone who’s been GAMING THEIR WHOLE LIFE? You want a guy who wears his nerdy hobbies LOUD AND PROUD!? You need someone who comprehends the needs of a multiple operating system environment? You looking for a guy who studies TECH every damn day BECAUSE HE LOVES IT? You need someone who can track down that auto loading TROJAN on someone’s thumb drive that keeps re-infecting the network THEN ELIMINATE IT WITHOUT LOSING ANY DATA? You want a dude who would totally never date your sister without making sure you are ok with it first? (That’s not cool man) You want a guy who got that Conan reference in your youtube video? CROM! WHAT A BAD ASS GOD! HE CHOSE THE CIMMERIAN DOG AS HIS CHAMPION! You want a tech who FUCKING ROCKS!? YOU GOT IT. Now get your boss, he’s gonna need to PERSONALLY approve a hire this awesome and you know it. -----------
I certainly hope so, I'd love to work in the gaming industry. And being a 6 foot 270 pound viking was only ever a benefit when applying for being a park ranger or record store up until this point.
Looks cool. Did you apply or did they come to you? I'm always interested how artists get in the field. They always want Bachelors Degrees and 3-D skills. I think the demand for hand drawn artists is only in the comic world now a days.
