As Defunct Games grows it is becoming increasingly difficult for our small team to keep up with the demand for new content. That's not to say that we don't enjoy the long hours and hard work that go into bringing you Defunct Games, but it would be nice to get a little help here and there. That's why we've decided to re-open our staffing department and hire a few new people. Do you feel like you have what it takes to join the Defunct Games team? Do you like working long hours for no money and almost no thanks? Then I recommend you check out the positions we are currently hiring for. If you have any questions regarding these positions I recommend you shoot me an email and I will get back to you as quickly as I can.

Defunct Games is currently looking for people to take over some of the behind the scenes work, including fixing older pages, enhancing the current navigation and working on future site redesigns. This person needs to already understand the coding languages used on Defunct Games and be ready to work with other website administrators. We have a lot of big changes and enhancements planned, so this job could potentially be a lot of work. However, it also allows website coders a chance to flex their creative muscle and put their own personal style on an already established (and popular) website.

If you feel that you have the qualifications to help take Defunct Games into the future, then I recommend you send me an email outlining your work history and some of the sites you have already worked on. It is not important to have worked on a video game-related website; however we are looking for people who know what they are doing and can add new ideas and improve already existing concepts. The only other thing I ask is that you are easy to get a hold of and willing to work with us on all sorts of issues, even if you feel that they are misguided and stupid.

Along with looking for a few new game critics, we are also looking for people to write feature length articles, cover special events and take part in podcasts (as well as other audio/video productions). This staffer will largely be tasked with developing their own unique ideas, so we are looking for creative people who are good at pitching new story ideas and are quick on their feet. Does this sound like you? If so, then I recommend you take a look at a few of things you would be responsible for if hired on at Defunct Games.

• 1 - We're looking for writers who have a firm knowledge of the industry's history, specifically for future episodes of A Brief History of Gaming.


• 2 - We are looking for people who can interview people for online game shows (see: Service Gaming: The Show) and other audio/video productions.


• 3 - We are looking for people to attend industry events (Game Developers Conference, Comic Con, PAX, E For All, etc.). You would be tasked with meeting with developers/publishers, conducting interviews and writing about your time at these events.


• 4 - We're looking for people who have ideas for future episodes of any of our existing shows.

Defunct Games is looking to expand the webpage past the usual text and pictures. As the site grows we are interested in adding more functions to the website and dabbling in flash banners, advertisements, games and movies. Do you know how to develop using Flash and want to make Defunct Games a better site? Below are just a couple of the things we plan on doing in Flash over the next few months. If you know anything about using Flash then I encourage you to fill out the application and let us know what you are capable of.

• 1 - Flash banners, advertising, etc.


• 2 - Flash games, including (but not limited to) converting existing game shows into a different format.
