Wanna Work for Dave Taylor & American McGee?

The well known former Id developers are starting a company to develop a shooter for the X-Box. They are looking for programmers, artists, level designers, and producers, but only if you're in, or willing to move to LA. If you think you're right for this one, you should email Dave.

Re:Why is this different than working for others?

Dave Taylor is also the former co-founder of the now defunct Crack.com which released Abuse and the incomplete Golgotha. At UT Austin, he helped start the IEEE-CS National Programming Contest, which involved teams of college students developing and pitting AI's against each other in a client-server gaming environment created by ddt's team. Sort of an AI 'Robot Wars'. Ddt has both game development, console development AND business development experience. I rather hope this venture is more successful than his last, and I'm confident his previous experience will make it so. Having known several people who've worked for him, I would say YES, he's a great person to work for. Having known my fair share of loyal /. readers, I daresay this IS a good place to troll for people with immense programming talent, and if no previous console experience, they will likely share Dave's point of view and be able to quickly learn all they need to know about porting to a console.

Why is it that people feel the need to bitch about every story that's posted these days?
