Working in the video game industry is one thing every gamer dreams of doing. According to GameCareerGuide.com, more than 50,000 people in North America alone play, create and design video games for a living. Many gamers would jump at the chance to be paid to play video games, but most don’t know the first thing to do when it comes to getting their foot in the door. In this episode of The Reboot, host Rio Pesino speaks with video game recruiters from Bungie, LucasArts, BioWare, Ubisoft, THQ and FullSail about the hiring process, what they look for in a candidate and some insiders’ advice on how to break into the industry.
It started with an innocuous audio interview with the then-President of the Products and Technology Group at SAP AG, Shai Agassi. Then came Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz, sitting at a table with an umbrella. It wasn’t long before Scoble introduced us to Thomas Hawk (investment advisor by day, ...
This episode, I have something really special. It’s a performance from the Show-me Blowout by the 60’s garage rocker Craig Moore. Craig Moore was one of the original members of the 1960’s band Gonn from Keokuk, [tag]Iowa. Now I don’t really expect you to have heard of Gonn because ...

Edwards Campaign - Scoble’s watching news happen, meaning he’s actually watching Washington Post National Political Correspondent Dan Balz type up the news that his paper readers will see tomorrow morning.
