Guy Applies for Bills Asst Coach -- with Gaming Resume

Gaming yields skills.  Teamwork, problem solving, negotiation, leadership, tenacity.   You know this.  I know this.  But do the Buffalo Bills know it? 

I guess we're going to find out.  This guy submitted a very professional resume and cover letter for the Bills assistant head coach position.  A few of my favorite qualifications:

• Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare - Instituted various team building exercises that resulted in avoiding Epic Fails.
• Madden 94-09 -- Responsible for in-game play-calling and execution, including the proper time to call an audible and when to "reverse the play".
• Tecmo Bowl -- Rushed 4,897,611 yards during the pre-season  with Bo Jackson.

If this dude doesn't get the job, it will be a severe setback in the movement for gamer's rights. 

The post is a must-read, so get over there and check it.   And if his site doesn't start selling 8-bit 716 t-shirts, I will be sorely disappointed.

Gamer Tattoo Tuesday: Modern Warfare 2

I have yet to see any photos of MW2 ink anywhere, and that's a good thing.  This game, while certainly well-made, should raise the eyebrow of any participant.  Do you really want this much realism in a war game?  This is fun for you?  Killing Nazi zombies -- good times.  Killing people whose concepts of a virtuous life differ from yours -- worth a pause. 

Seems the most eligible image for a tattoo would be the insignia of Task Force 141.

Seriously, though.  Think about it.  Do you really want some vet stopping you and commenting on this? 

"Never seen that insignia before.  What division you in?" 
"Me?  Oh I just pretend to be a soldier on my PS3."  
".... You mock everything that makes America great."

(Note -- I had no idea joystiq had posted this Nazi zombie MW2 article mere hours before I posted.  Yes, it's an archetype.)
