For those of you Kotaku-lifers out there, you might remember that back in the day, the Brian(singular)-only day, yes even before McWhertor, Ash and Luke Smith, I went through a few interns. Heck, I even had my brother writing for me for a few months.

Well, after much finger-pointing by the other Gawker site leads and a general make-funnery at my expense for not having interns, I've decided it's time to get some back on board. I'm looking to hire one or two. And by hire, I don't really mean pay.

To make the cut you'll need to have aspirations as a game journalist (that's with a capital J) and an overwhelming needing to write about stuff. The work is tons of fun and will include a mix of grunt work, some research and maybe even a bit of writing. You will report directly to me or perhaps Ash and while hours are a bit flexible, you'll be expected to be around during a typical work day...virtually. Pay is next to nothing, but this is a calling right and you'll be getting some very worthwhile experience and perhaps, just perhaps, a toe in the door here at Kotaku Towers.

While it's been awhile since I was an intern, decades in fact, I was a pretty steady mentor at the Rocky Mountain News up until I left, training up and coming reporters and interns to be disgruntled and jaded cop reporters. The work was tough, and the pay little, for those that interned with the Rocky, but the experience was worth it, or so they said. Hopefully, you'll feel the same way.

If you're interested, are at least 21 and have the time for the commitment, email tips@kotaku.com with "intern" in the subject line. While I'll look at people from all locations, extra attention will be given to those in the Denver area with transportation and a willingness to meet up at Kotaku HQ every once in awhile. Include in the email your location, a letter explaining why we should hire you, along with a list of your five favorite games and why, and a sample post. Please no attachments. Ignore the rules, and I'll ignore your email.
