    If only I wasn't lumbered with a withered old 3G i'd definitely apply for this, I would love to get paid to write, in fact that's pretty much my dream at the moment. :(

    yeah, but it's reasonable, most of them directly go into forums, like me.

    I've already contacted a ton of people, I don't have the personal bandwidth to do this any faster than I already am with keeping up daily stuff on TouchArcade.

    I wish I had the time for this, I really do.

    Unfortunately due to real life, I don't even manage to play all the games I've got! (For example, I just beat the God King yesterday during lunch... :eek:)

    I've ran almost 95% of the day to day TouchArcade stuff for like a year now... So it's just me. :)

    Hey now, that number has dropped significantly since I came aboard.

    Now you only need to handle 90% of everything :cool:



    You're welcome.

    So this is the real reason why Touch Arcade has hit an all time low in the last year then in terms of the content on site ;)

    And pleeeeease,employing a writer with dumb in his T.A name just about sums it up as well ;)

    I reckon the next writer you hire will probably go with the name WhoAteAllThePies or SittingHereInMyUnderpants because they're the sort of writers you need on here.

    Ones that have no life apart from spending half the time playing games and the other half either eating all the pies or sitting in a dark room in underpants.

    Or you could just hire a tech savvy 13yr who thinks he knows everything and wants to rule the ios world with his wisdom.I'm sure you have loads of those here ;)

    As you can tell i don't feel i have it in me to do this writing stuff,i have neither the time or ability to string a sensible sentence together ;)

    And if you take what i've just wrote seriously then :D

    Only joking guys...Good Luck with finding someone ;)

    I sent my application via MobileMe, and I decided not to renew my subscription yesterday. If I do get accepted, I'll never know
