menace inc Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Sloth is paying off. People who spend too much time playing video games have new hope for gainful employment as Nintendo of America announced plans Tuesday to pay 50 people about $100 a day to play computer games all summer long. For gamers, the program "is sure to be the best summer job ever," said Peter MacDougall, Nintendo's executive vice president. From July to August, members of the "Nintendo Street Team" will earn their pay by showcasing the Nintendo GameCube and handheld Game Boy systems at concerts, malls and fairs. Candidates must be at least 18-years-old and must fill out an application and create a two-minute video explaining why they deserve the job. Applications must be in between May 13 and June 14, and can be found on the official Web site at www.nintendostreetteam.com. http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/ptech/05/01/n...s.ap/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 1, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 1, 2002 Originally posted by Prof. Frink umm ok? I didnt know Nintendo was such a sensitive subject for you... it's bashing people or companies without knowledge of the actual details at work. in this case, saying you'll be playing a kids game when gamecube is being very much developed as an adult system in addition to the kids games...

Oh ok...I didn't mean it as bashing, it meant it in a way like being hired to play games and get payed for it is too good to be true that with my luck i would get stuck playing stupid games that suck...
