@ZoeQuinnzel anything in gaming. I would prefer game journalism, but I am also interested in development.

@ZoeQuinnzel for free. It is he tragedy of the commons, absent perfect unions, reality still hurts me -
@joshuamelnick Then don't do it. Work a paying job elsewhere and build your portfolio and network. Unpaid internships will not help you here -

@joshuamelnick Depends on your location. There's usually local dev meetups and the IGDA (igda parties are a good place to find jobs too) -
@ZoeQuinnzel I'm local to Boston, so I've been going to the postmortem and I'm going to go to the next Boston indies, if I can -
@joshuamelnick That's definitely a good call! Women in games boston is a good one too -
@ZoeQuinnzel once my Internet starts working, ill check that out.
