When we started Gamers With Jobs, it was with a fairly naïve concept, that providing a gaming website with a mature angle and an attention to quality articles would, itself, be enough to sustain the site.
Here's another false dichotomy for you. There are two kinds of gamers. Those that come home from a hard day breaking rocks with sledgehammers (be it at school, the office, or the chain gang) and unwind with little WoW/Halo 2/Peggle. And then there are those who sit within striking distance of games all day long.

With everyone on the planet who is not me enjoying the Halo 3 beta, maybe I need to check out Microsoft's long overdue offering of Halo 2 on the PC to get my fix.

Eets is a cute little dude with a big problem. He's got to get from one side of the screen to the other to get to the puzzle piece, and he needs your help to navigate some big obstacles.
I'd sure like to be a fly on the wall when the first gamer enters a Best Buy and asks the clerk for Touch The Dead on the Nintendo DS. How could your possibly say you want to touch the dead and maintain your unsteady grip on the fabric of society? Lucky for us, early impressions suggest the game sucks. Instead, our Game Of The Week isn't a game exactly, but a compilation.
