Hello there, I am superstar genius writer "Superb Joe", "the man behind the posts", legendary poster of on line and contributing writer to computer games such as Adult Swim's "Wasted" and the cult "Merry Gear Solid" series. I hit all of your criteria except for the fact that I'm not an active gamer, nor do I love video games. C'est la vie I suppose. Good luck in your quest.

Hello Superb Joe, thanks for dropping by this thread. Quite surprising you're not into video games, but if you hit all the boxes and you're only missing a thing or two, it would be a shame if you didn't try. As Allan (the Tech Director) said, the worst thing that could happen is we say no. But anyway, good luck to you as well!

A little like Joe I tick most of these boxes, though my location isn't SEA. I've sent over my details anyhow, so hopefully I'm still worth considering.

When will you guys be getting in touch with prospective applicants?

We usually reply pretty quickly and we've already started actually. Right now we're going through the applications (didn't expect to receive so many!) and if you haven't received a reply yet, we will be in touch soon.
