CONFLICT: The two body problem rears it's ugly head.

A technical recruiter contacted me for a possible job at a game company that is among my most revered. 400 miles away from where I want to be. It breaks my heart.

Of course I haven't yet heard back from my dream job and I doubt I will. A couple weeks back Sparkplay Media put up a job on GameSutra about a content designer. Basically designing and scripting quests for their fantastic looking MMO. I spent hours crafting a perfect cover letter and with a bunch of my friends and colleagues tweaking my already polished resume. Sadly no word, very dissapointing, but I still hold out some hope for that one.

That's my dream job but I'm still preparing for GDC, still applying for jobs. And I got a very nice technical recruiter looking into jobs for me in the Bay Area (It'd really break my heart to have to be far away from my fiance). We'll see. Got more compiler work to do. Working on my Android game and a personal project game that I had to blow the dust off last night.

Today's Advice: Persistence, Persistence, Persistence. That and check out Sparkplay media, their game looks bad ass.
