i actually did with my last job. where i live, is not like in say USA or some other place that gamming is getting look in a better way. here is kinda hard to find people that says that playing game helps you somehow, anyway i put on my resume that i played World of Warcraft and League of legends. i also said im a real…

I was once told that I was the number 2 candidate for a job, but they went with the other guy because he had played more WoW than me.

That said, the company was Blizzard and the project was Hearthstone, so they might have had a point.

If I came across someone listing gaming as a hobby, I'd flat out call them in for an interview. Unless they're complete asshats or morons, I'd give them a chance. I can teach anyone how to do my job. I can't teach them how to fit in.

I think the biggest problem with putting gaming 'experiences' on a resume is that it still doesn't separate you from any other Joe. Just because one person is a guild leader, so can 30 other applicants. There is no 'bar system' to prove that you've taken tangible 'skills' from the game, but only that you were probably…

I want to point out that some company's would like that you can rally 100-200 people and are able to organize and work in large teams. Not all games are as silly and pointless as clash of clans or angry birds or even call of duty multyplayer. The main point I see here is if its not something that you can make an…

Mentioning my 25 years of Dungeon Mastering got me a job in management.

Unofficial just means its not run by the people who own Minecraft. Power Rangers has Power Morphicon since 2007 which is an independent convention. Though Saban currently supports it and has can a booth at the con but they don't run any part of it. Theres a similar con in the UK run by different people that Saban has…

Got a console but not a PC? Current choices are play it on PS3 and get fucked up aiming or play it on the 360 and only have access to the Beta material.

In general I think there's still too much stigma surrounding gaming for it to receive wide acceptance in most areas of corporate America. I certainly wish it were different and there's always the one off success here and there, but it seems the guy who puts that he manages his team bowling league is still far better…

What a coincidence, this WSJ article just passed my inbox this morning: http://online.wsj.com/articles/can-w…

There's lots of people on burners who aren't assholes (ahem) and pseudonymity is a valuable asset on an Internet where it's all to easy to be doxed for inane reasons. Also, not to point fingers at Gawker, but they don't have the most wonderful history of safeguarding the personal information they store, and burner…

The burner account concept is probably the best part about kinja. There are plenty of people that are glad they don't need an email address or a facebook account to comment here. There are people that comment here that wouldn't comment elsewhere because of the burner accounts, and that's a good thing. There probably…

Jon forgot one important piece of drinking advice: should you or someone you know discover college students drinking alcohol purchased using a fake ID, you are duty bound to discover who they are, contact their employers and other authority figures, publish their names and photographs, and write about them for weeks…

This is a perfect example, posters who have been posting here for years, who stay on topic, and contribute, to the tune of hundreds of upvotes are voicing our opinion about exclusion, because we've experienced it. It could be as simple as not sitting at the cool kids lunch table on a given topic.

Fuck your take on energy drinks. I'm not saying to follow their "directions" of "take 1-2 servings per day as needed," but if I was out late the previous night or close to falling asleep on a long drive/any drive after hiking/biking/skiing/snowboarding, I'm going to reach for the mega caffeine boost. Like nearly…

I imagine you can interchange coffee and tea. You're drinking 99% water, pretty sure it can count toward your daily water intake.

I'm all for bringing back the greys, with one condition:

That's 3.7 from all sources, including foods with water in them (and even drinks that aren't purely water), which is a not insignificant chunk of it.

Party in the grays, everybody! (No trolls, pls, extra potato salad and beer welcome.)

there's no evidence the body needs to be cleansed in the first place
