Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea!
I could never touch you...I think that would be wrong...
Oh, I've got your letter, you've got my blogs.

You know what would be awesome? If you needed interns in Virginia.

If I had the talent, I'd take the 7 hour drive up to frisco, but sadly, I'm a science man and can't write well.

Damn, I'd telecommute if that was an option.

And I, like, so totally have a degree, like, in writing, like.

I live relatively close (Fremont), and I am interested, but I've never applied for an internship before. What exactly do I write about? Yes, dumb question is dumb =(

one question, do u have to have previous experience writing for another game related blog or any other "professional" editorial/journalism group, or can we just show our skills and see if u approve? o and i live nearby, but i most likely may have to commute there

What Max said. Telecommunity from Fremont could definitely work. Some assignments are in the city, some are in Redwood city, that sort of thing.

What's required is a passion for the games industry, the ability to articulate on what you see (we'll take you to events in the area), and some free time during weekdays. Its not a high pressure job in any way so no prior experience is required -- we'll train you. Holler!

What kind of experience would I need? And do I need to be a very fast typist? I want to be a videogame producer (or gaming journalist if that doesn't happen), but I don't have the right skills yet. :'(

I really should move on to San Fransico. Can I learn science, skin dive, or study oceanography?

I am considering this since I live in the city and am on summer break from college. My writing isn't perfect, but I think I am ok at writing funny gaming related crap sometimes. Well, what the hell. I might as well send an email in.

I'm actually not far away but I need to get proper transportation first. Been working on that.

I am in the city, I have free time, but I cannot write well unfortunately. That's too bad because it sounds like a lot of fun.

Sent in an application...good luck to everyone! Wasn't really sure of how 'formal' it needed to be--ie, cover letter, resume...? Just straight up links? Too late now I suppose, though I did include a link to my resume in the email, just in case. Curious as to how many/much of the samples I included will actually get read...

If I sell a kidney I could get to San Francisco. Is vagrancy a crime there?

Application has been sent! Thanks for the opportunity and good look to all. And Max I can carry you to press events if need be, though I did see you at E3 and have to say you're a lot taller than I expected...maybe not Conan O'Brien tall, but I ca tell you drank your milk as a kid.

Question: Is the salary yellow dresses and Rice-a-Roni? Or are the only interns who receive a salary the ones clad in yellow dresses and Rice-a-Roni?

Applied, even though I'm in the UK.

I'll apply, but on the condition I get paid in Jack-in-the-Box tacos and Victoria's Secret panties instead!
