We
know exactly how you feel. The waking hours you spend away from your keyboard or control pad are all just taking away
from the time you could be spending meeting new polygonal people and slaying dragons. Real life is great and all, but
it's distinctly lacking in adventure, intrigue and anti-aliasing. That's exactly why you escape to worlds beyond our
own, worlds that can only be found after a lengthy installation process. Your addiction to Second Life and the Final Fantasy series is exactly what we're looking for in a couple of bloggers. If you're interesting in writing about either of those games (and can actually stop playing for more than five minutes at a time), you need to start paying attention. This is what we need from you:
- 3 Blog Post Samples: We demand 3 pieces written
about the game of your choice (either Second Life or Final Fantasy) and in the style of a typical
Joystiq post. This, of course, means that it's engagingly written, focused, free of errors and, in some cases, oddly
inspirational. Original content and a strong writing personality will count in your favor.
- A Brief Autobiography: Tell us about yourself. You need to convince us why you're right for the
job. You could mention how dependable you are, how obsessive you are about the game and why exactly it is that your
criminal record looks the way it does.
- Contact Details: We'll need to get a hold
of you somehow in order to make fun of your hilariously inept application, so be sure to provide us with e-mail
addresses, AIM details, telephone numbers and GPS coordinates.
Send your submissions to winapply (AT) gmail.com. Blog posts can be written up in your favorite text editor, just so long as it isn't a weird one we haven't heard of.
[Update: Alternate e-mail address added, as previous one unceremoniously failed.]
