We've reached the end of another year in the videogame industry and there is still much work to do. The game companies are busy indiscriminately flooding the holiday market with dozens of rushed and potentially buggy games. The fanboy videogame media are racing each other to get generous reviews posted faster than the competition. The videogame retailers are calculating the minimum trade-in value consumers will tolerate for barely-used formerly-$50 games. Finally, the gamers themselves have engaged in epic flamewars across the great message board battlegrounds to determine whether Half-life 2 or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or Halo 2 should be the game of the year.
I thought some of these were hillarious, but at the same time, made me realize how bad a job in the video game industry would be
