The Boy in the Glade

The Boy in the Glade

Posted by Chris "C" Cesarano –
I had seen the boy in this very same glade just a day or two earlier. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I had seen the boy in a brighter version of this glade, where trees were trees and didn't have eyes or spit bombs out of their snouts. In fact, the boy himself had been, well, a boy, rather than a humanoid fox-creature clad in a vest and tunic.

Gen Con 2013

Posted by Erik "wordsmythe" Hanson –
GenCon seems to have a better content/fluff ratio than it's had in a long while, with even large publishers moving their playing spaces out of the main hall to make more room. We did what we could to check everything out, but ... perhaps I should note how thoroughly ruined some of us were after DrunkQuest on Thursday night.

Celebration

Posted by Chris "C" Cesarano –
I am not generally a particularly snappy dresser. When I told my roommate I'd be wearing a shirt and tie to Video Games Live, he looked at me as if I was crazy. It wasn't like I was going to a funeral or a job interview, right? This was just a concert with video game music. He and the rest of my friends were planning on simply going in shorts and a t-shirt.

The Red Wedding shocked the buh-jayzuz out of me — twelve years ago, when I read A Storm of Swords.

Rated Teen, For Everyone

Posted by kcander –
The videogame industry and I are about the same age. In the 1970s, we played with blocks. We blooped and bleated, the big people gathered around us with kindly smiles of incomprehension. By the mid-'80s, we hurtled toward puberty together. We bounced to synthesized beats, decked in neon and steeped in a culture the old folks labeled a passing fad.

Notes From GenCon 2012

Posted by Charlie "TheWanderer" Hall –
GenCon was a huge success this year, for our community and for the event as a whole. We all had a blast at the Slap and Tickle, which was well attended again this year.

Never Satisfied

Posted by J.P. "kincher skolfax" Grant –
“Maybe you’re just like my mother,” a great man once sang, “she’s never satisfied.” It is a truth universally acknowledged that gamers, like the fictional mother of The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, find satisfaction an elusive prize.

Asleep at the Keyboard

If you're a long time visitor to Gamers With Jobs, you may remember that before the Conference Call we had another podcast called GWJ Radio. It was hosted by Russ Pitts and myself. Since then, Russ has sat on the iron throne at The Escapist and now he's joined Vox Media for their new video game site venture.
