Gosh, what's with these spammers lately? Next thing you know, this guy will be telling us he's got a billion dollar theme park in the works and needs more funding.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Upon second thought, before the gullible parade stops by, I should point out that I'm kidding. Cam is legit, and it sounds like a kickarse job!

Very nice. If you give me this job, can I put a camera in the lady toilet please?

[dandaman]

...Well, sir, I do believe I qualify for the last requirement: playing arcade games. Woo-hoo, I'm a "plus".

 

EDIT: Dismemberment insurance? What kind of violent games are you guys making nowadays anyway?

^ Ever drop a pinball machine on your little toe??

I figured it would be necessary... but touche' nonetheless.

 

Anyone apply for the job yet, Cameron?

I lost my little toe in a terrible pinball accident. Thanks for bringing up that horrible memory!

 

If I knew any programming, I'd be all over this. I need to get out of my current job, like no ones business.

^^ Not that I know of Dan. But this will be one of the first hires into Pinball Engineering for about 7 years. It's a pretty big deal

That's a pretty amazing opportunity!

 

Kind of makes me pine for the days when you had to squeeze every available cycle out of an overloaded 8-bit processor and obsolete synth chip they should have discontinued a long time ago.

You should take a look at my little brother Tommy, although he is deaf, dumb, and blind, but he sure plays a mean pinball.

Ooooooh...that would be perfect for me (being that i AM a programmer ). Too bad its way in Illinois. Had it been about 5 months ago, I would've been all over it.....

[tngdiablo]

I'd be interested...in 2 years.
