Show 24, So you want to work for CCP?

The final lot of interviews from fanfest all you people who are considering applying for a job with CCP games.

The first thing you should do is check the CCP Jobs page. There you will find information regarding the current vacancies for CCP.

First up we talk to David Bockman the HR manager for CCP/Whitewolf. CCP are looking to hire people to work on both EVE the other project.

Of course you don't speak to HR managers to get the unbridled truth on working for a company, so we then have a chat with recently employed developers CCP Atropos and CCP Tryphon, You may know them better with the names they had before they were Dev's, as they were Hinik and Ifni.

If you are looking to work at CCP, you chances will be helped by being part of the volunteers program. Check out the ISD recruitment page, for more information

Finally, if you would like to work for CCP but don't want to give up you day job, why not work as a freelance mission writer? Urban chats to 'the mission dude' Scott Holden, about this role. Go to the mission writer recruitment page if this interests you.

Lead out tune 'career opportunities' by The Clash

Beyond that, just the usual random sidetrackage, gibbering and tinfoil hattery.

Show 23, so yeah, ummm, the Trinity had a few issues. Urban and Winterblink know how you have been suffering.

First up a big thank you to Kami and Haroldium from the CoMutiny Podcast for helping us out in the intro.

With the boot.ini issue and the known issues page. being the size of war and peace, well it hasn't been the easiest week.

To show solidarity with the suffering masses in EVE, the guys drink shot after shot of Brennivin the only substance in the universe which tastes worse than Rotten Shark. Lots of issues means lots of shots.

Its not all bad though, Blinky has some awesome screen shots of the new graphics in his Flickr Page.

To be brutally honest the in-game news has been a bit of a blur, something about MC taking a contract on BRUCE, Red alliance titans causing trouble and KIA Eddz's ego gets pimped a bit more.

For homework blinky wants you to check out Battle Royale A masterful film what ever your state of inebriation.

To make the new grapics even sexier why not try nHancer, as recommended by Winterblink/p>

Also check out the new and awesome GAX site We have set up a new warp drive active group. The site is currently invite only, so give urban a shout and he will send you an invitation. Great work guys

Lead out tune 'Black Flag Days' by Eve to Adam.

Beyond that, just the usual random sidetrackage, gibbering and tinfoil hattery.

P.S. Check out Blinky's adventrues in drunkeness he did after the show!

Show 22, This will hopefully get to you in time for the downtime for the trinity expansion. We hope you remembered to train long skills before everything went down.

Urban has been working such long hours that the only booze he has is some Brennivin he got in Iceland. Blinky joins him for a glass of pure horribleness.

Urban interviews Tony Gonzales the author of the upcoming EVE Novel. He does sound scarilly like Tony Soprano though.

Next up its Richie Shoemaker AKA Zapatero the Editor. We discuss Issue 9 and what's coming up in issue 10 before running off to a fanfest.

Finally we get to talk to the Transgaming guys Who ported EVE from Windows to the Mac and Linux. More power to them!.

Lead out tune 'Paperback Writer' by Mystery Bloom.

Beyond that, just the usual random sidetrackage, gibbering and tinfoil hattery.
