Replace that with 'If I didn't live several thousand miles away and had bothered to get good at one single thing instead of dabbling with everything'.

Way to go Gearbox. Immense respect from me! Wish more developers had that kind of vision... :evil:

[Kosmo]

Oh oooooooh, hehe smart!

Cogs, gearbox, now I get it, wow took me a while <- I think that makes me not qualified

I'd apply if I was living bit less in finland and tad more to dallas or somewhere near.

Nice program tho, hope more game devs start to notice how hard it is to land a job in games industry (esp. people who DON'T live in usa).

yeah, these days it seems that the only way to get into a game dev company is know someone on the inside or start your own.
