Telltale Games

As long as you bring me on with the title "Computer Systems Analyst" I qualify to go over there under NAFTA. Though I'd much rather be working on design than being the code monkey.

Testings not cracked up to be anything. Kids in third grade that hear about the job go nuts because it sounds like they're just playing video games and getting payed. But it's really just going through a game, hunting for glitches, and then writing detailed reports on what happened. Most sensible people realize that testing is just a way of getting into the industry, so you can get a better job later (programming, marketing, etc.)

Programming is just like testing except that you have to destroy your brain to do it sometimes.

Fortunately at big companies you have others to test your code. Modder programmers generally have to try out their own fixes, which can be a pain.

I generally prefer it to complain at others people crap, than trying to fix it myself

Apparently testing is mind-numbingly boring and will make you hate video games for the rest of your life.

Yeah, recruit him for Tales 2 ^_^

Or MI3a >.>

Giant Tope · 04/06/2010, 06:04 pm

Woah he quit Hothead didn't he. Weird.

Alucard · 04/06/2010, 06:53 pm

I see some of the others already beat me to it. Yes, please do hire R.Gilbert. Now if we could only get Tim Schafer on the payroll....

Secret Fawful · 04/06/2010, 07:01 pm

I'll just echo the same sentiments. This is a chance you can't possibly pass up, people.

Wapcaplet · 04/06/2010, 07:14 pm

Man, that seems like big news to me. Considering that the Holy Trinity of Monkey Island designers were in the same room last month, some words must have been exchanged regarding Ron's future. (But the "don't jump to any conclusions" part kills the optimist in me.)

*Irishmile* · 04/06/2010, 07:15 pm

They have Mike Stemmle and Dave Grossman ... Might as well get Ron.

Giant Tope · 04/06/2010, 09:35 pm

Telltale's collecting them all like action figures. Tim better watch his back.

Could you fine gentlemen hire Sander Cohen? He's an excellent artist!

LuigiHann · 04/06/2010, 10:03 pm

I am SO going to apply a year or so from now when you guys aren't hiring anymore
