    I would move to Washington for this. Would you guys be willing to help with moving fees?

    I'll send you an E-mail, but I'm not exactly sure what you want me to tell you.

    We just started covering testing methods in QA class today, and nowhere did they talk about advanced Ninjitsu

    So tempting, but Uber Entertainment must work at an incredible pace. I'm not sure I would have the level of energy needed to survive in a games industry position at my age.
