A quick post to thank everyone for coming to the seminar,  “Video Games: Cracking the Code“, at the Center for Communication.  The panel focused on… getting a job in the games industry!  I mentioned a few links during the discussion.  As promised, here they are:

We are looking for developers and interns of all shapes and sizes.  Do apply.
