I cannot express how much I wish I could go back in time and make myself become a web developer so I could apply for and get this job just so I would be working for my most favorite company ever. Already plan on moving to Texas soon anyways......

The worst part is that I have all the experience and would love it, but I am already in a good situation ... Maybe in a couple years when the startup I work for sells...

Dude, I would go a complete 180 on my profession and study to even begin to apply for a position at Roosterteeth. For now I'm sticking with my musical pieces and perhaps a study in the US afterwards for everything around the gaming principle of RoosterTeeth. You guys, or atleast Geoff-Jack-Gus-etc[You guys problaly do allot more than they do technically], have the best jobs ever. Hands down.

I would love to get a work for you guys but if i did this i might destroy the website, sell the company and website(on accident) or "misplace" all your money. Anyone who ends up with this position better do a great job and hope to see you on the podcast.
