And you got this job by someone hitting a website the same day you published it? Killer! :P
Haha, yeah, pretty much happened out of nowhere. Still, I ain't complaining. Free games for doing something I would normally be doing anyway, AND a chance for the stuff I write to get read by a lot of people? Hell yes.
(Not to mention the possibility of getting into E3. ^_^)
E3 alone would be enough :P
I talked with a guy that works at my local Gamestop about E3 last year. He was chosen by the company to be the designated GS employee from the region to go to E3. He was telling me about the Wii and Metroid, and how the controller was so much better than he had expected.
Haha, yeah, that's about the ONLY thing that would make a job like that worthwhile. Everyone always talks about how awesome it'd be to work at a game store, but from the sounds of it, it's not all it's made out to be.
Also, I've been playing a lot of DoA2 LE lately. Kasumi's white outfit > all. ^_^
Picked up a shirt while I was in Gatlinburg that says "What happens in the mushroom kingdom stays in the mushroom kindgom" and has SMB baddies on it :]
