Now if only it would load...
EDIT: You guys ever worry that you might pass over a more 'efficient' employee in favour of a better personality fit? Like, for example, Brian the warehouse guy - he doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of you, but he is a beast worker...
I dreamt I was there, in Khoo's office. The silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife. All I felt was pure and utter shame. I was looking down into my lap, fighting back tears of embarrassment. Then Robert sighed deeply and spoke.
"Why did you even waste my time?"
I felt like I was stabbed in the gut with sword of ice. I immediately woke up and was so upset, I had to walk around my room to calm down. I actually watched this episode somewhat cringing. The next one is going to be really hard to see.
Well that and they, you know, actually announced they were hiring. It was on both the main page and Robert make a post here.
If not only for the hand-eye coordination improvements, but for the simulated experiences and coalesced desensitization.
And stuff like this:

I had a penny arcade job dream too
i dreamt i managed to get hired, except i quickly realized that not only was i not qualified for the job in any way, but i didn't even know what the job was for
it was me wandering the halls wondering what i was supposed to be doing trying to look busy
I'm not going to spoil it, but I do have to say, from the brief interactions that we had at the con, it's very clear that he/she was definitely the right choice.
This is dispicable!
not yet!
It's like everybody and the editors is thinking "DO YOU HEAR THIS LEARNEDHAND?! GET IT INTO YOUR BRAIN!"
You can have knowledge of the culture, indeed be embroiled in it, without being an actual gamer.
Right, because that is the only thing that was taken into account with the other candidates; their prowess at Street Fighter.
How about this; when you start your own monumentally successful charity, and then spend more than seven years serving at the head of that organization, you can comment on any mistakes that Robert made during the interview process for this job.
Or, and this is my preferred option, you could shut up about it.
Fixed that for you.
Anybody who can't effectively use Killik really has no place in the modern American workplace.

This discussion again?
All three candidates (WHITTLED DOWN FROM 1300! 1300!) would be excellent AT the position, but that does not mean that they would mesh well with the office. That is important in ANY position, not just Penny-Arcade.
Whoops, except if that they're a dickhole at the office and harm the working environment then
-PA as a whole suffers on all fronts from people not liking work as much
-Child's Play suffers from the weakening of PA
-PA has to go through the costly and unpleasant experience of firing the new hire and getting someone else, which also means Child's Play is short a head during the search and is unable to help as many people.
I guess when hiring the "best" person, the person doing the hiring gets to decide what "best" means, huh.
He did
it was called SE++
Too bad we have to wait for part deux.
Well, if you'd come to PAX, you probably would've met the new hire, and been spared the agony of waiting.
So lesson learned; everybody should always come to every PAX.
I asked khoo at pax and he said he couldnt tell me. I do have a good idea of which one it was though based on the answers given during the SE++ thing and when scott and kurtz had them up talking at the late night show.
I play upright, not electric.
There are points.
Look. I'm just happy with my SC2 Kilik. Namco just keeps putting out new versions of Kilik to force us to buy the newer Soul Caliburs. Sure they're flashier, but it's just particle effects and a fancy new outfit or two. The moves are mostly same, except for when they remove the most useful and intuitive moves. It's just change for the sake of change.
<3ing you so much right now.
Is this a 3 parter?
Fuck.
Steam profile.
Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
I'm so excited for the next part!
Next episode she is going to flash up pictures of hospitals from the projector and calmly ask "What is wrong with this child?"
"Broken leg."
"Leukemia."
"Not enough Street Fighter."
That seemed to be harsh at the end...
