I've heard making games is awful. Just awful. Long hours, longer hours, terrible food. Old housemate of mine worked for Irrational, nearly killed him. But it can't be all bad. I imagine there's one or two jobs that are great. The guys at Treehouse who get to translate/write wordy Nintendo games, that'd be a hoot. As would being a writer for BioWare. Which brings us neatly to the fact BioWare are hiring. Hiring for their MMO. You don't need to be a real writer, just able to grab a copy of Neverwinter Nights and put together a "writing sample". Further details below.
