Become Wombat's Intern!

I'm a second-year English major attending a half-decent university. Not to mention that Wombat rocks my bare socks. No, I'm not kissing ass at all.
 
There are a lot of well qualified people here. Journalism majors, English teachers, people with gaming editorial experience, etc. I would be interested in reading a blog with many writers. I suggest Wombat look for interns, not intern.

You may have to not pay more than one person.

Can Wombay afford to not pay that many people? The burden may become too much.

I think I should be wombat's intern because he's already overwhelmed by only 100 or so miniscule posts. In my first act of internship, I would make Wombat's decision infinitely easier by simply selecting myself.
 
Well I should be his intern because I used to be a managing editor for AMN and i wrote plenty of reviews and news articles while I was there. I have been looking for something to get into the Game media again and this seems like one of the few things I would be interested in. I also have tons of free time and live on my laptop.

Is that what you have to say about Cheapy too?
 
I believe that I should have the opportunity to become Wombat's intern because I believe I would fit the part well.

I currently work at an independent video game store, and am quite up to date with video game news and happenings in the industry. I also am attending Texas A&M University with a major in Telecommunications and a minor in marketing with the intentions of becoming a PR.
 
Because I'm better than pretty much everyone else on any measure, and can miraculously drop the ego and sardonic asides that permeate most blogs (not to mention my own posts), leaving behind professional writing skills that make the girls swoon like a Paul Anka tune.

...cept for the run-ons, I suppose.
 
While possessing a large number of skills and talents, my coolness would never exceed that of the mighty Wombat. A good toadie only exists to enhance the fearless leader.

Oh, snayup!

You flipped the script, playa!
 
If I get the position I will dye my hair brown and get a wombat-esque haircut. There will be screenshots to prove it happened. Then I will cry because I like my hair long.
 
I know you've probably been blown away by your overwhelming popularity (oh the perils of being a D-List internet celebrity) so I'll keep this short.

I only have 30 days to live and working for you, Wombat, is my dying wish.

Ok, so maybe that's not true. I love Cheap Ass Gamer and (almost) everything associated with it--the site, the podcast, and (most) of the community. Working with you, Wombat, would make me unbelievably happy. I'm smart, I work hard, and I learn fast. The pleasure I would gain from working with you I am sure would be reciprocated.
 
Maybe this should be decided American Gladiators-style, with Cheapy and Wombat hurling tennis balls at us like Pyro and Nitro.
 
I have no idea what this job would actually entail. However, I should be Wombat's intern because I'm already entrenched in a lot of things that are similar to what you guys do, including blogging and a podcast (www.gameslaves.net).

Is this a test? That's a run-on sentence. Either use a period or a semicolon, but not a comma.

Saying this to get the job, not to be a grammar douche. :)
 
I graduated cum laude with an BS in English, minoring in philosophy, while simultaneously holding the position of assistant design editor of my university's magazine. Also, not only do I keep up to date with gaming news and have been listening to the Cagcast since its inception, but I live in CT and would be able to meet up with Wombat in person if the situation calls for it.

Or he could just get me to sniff his milk.
 
If you can't get your intern to run and get you coffee, make copies, and degrade them in person what's the point of having an intern?

At least it might get a person contacts in the industry so they can go from no wage intern to low wage employee.
 
i live in new jersey i live 20 minutes away from manhatten by path train

the only thing i have is my love of video games :) and being the best lacky i can be ! :)
 
The main reason why I would be a great intern for Wombat, outside of looking good in a short skirt and high heels
even though I am a dude
, is that I was from a hacked site Binary Culture.net which is going to close down soon, wrote for PSXNation.com from 2001-2004, attended E3 2004, lives in the East Coast in PA, have my grammar guide book ready, and I know how to talk to game publishers and PR people.

Well, damn, I was going to toss my hat into the ring until I read those creditentials.
 
OK, there seems to be way too many qualified people who want to be my Intern, and I honestly touched that so many people want to help me succeed in my dreams. So, in my infinite wisdom I added a part two to this contest:

email me ( [email protected] ) one sample blog post, any topic, videogame related, no more than 6 sentences long.

Thanks everyone
 
Interesting idea. Only 6 sentences though? What, exactly are you going to be looking for in that? 6 sentences isn't enough to get a reasonably developed idea across, though I suppose you don't want to spend all of your free time reading blog posts... /shrug.
 
I just sent the first 6 sentences of one of my reviews. The ability to say alot in a small amount of space is extremely important in journalism, and especially in such constrained spaces as videogame reviews and the like. I think wombat is right at limiting the space to at most 6 sentences.
 
Just pick whoever the top 10 is, then have those people email you. Don't make people who you already have eliminated in your mind, waste their time. See, I bring those kind of ideas to the table.

On second thought, just pick me.
 
Being as how this is part one I thought it best to post here as well. I would like to be your intern because being paid for something one trully enjoys to do is something only porn stars get to do. I am only a Pre-school teacher but I own all current and last gen concoles and beleive I could be a large help to you on your endevor. The writting sample is in the mail.
