So should I start writing my CV to apply for a job in not so sunny Iceland? Or is my current customer service / IT Service Desk job in Australia with Logica going to keep me happy. Would someone from an IT Service Desk background (and with bachelors degree in computer science at RMIT (Melbourne) ) be of use in the Game Master's department at CCP?

How many people have considered packing up and heading to Iceland to work for their favourite game company?

I'm thinking that a Game Master position would be sweet, especially since I'm relatively patient and like writing in the forums and help channel. Perhaps I'd unleash ITIL standards and put problem management and incident management into the petition tools (if they are not there already).

Must start writing CV instead of playing EVE or Diablo III.

The only question you must ask yourself is what you will regret the most 30 years from now: that you did - or that you didn't. It's not unlike seeing that girl on the dance-floor who happens not to be a ****, which means there is a chance she will discard you but, nevertheless, what is living if not seizing opportunity and take a chance once in a while?

What word would you have used instead of that one to make the same point? I'm curious, because from my perspective you're reacting to the example rather than the word I used, which essentially means that the problem is yours. I suggest you keep it there.

One of my friends decided to go work for CCP in their QA department (or whatever it's called).

Apparently he's flying all sorts of places now, fixing stuff. Atleast according to his facebook, lol..

That said, moving from Australia to Iceland is a big shift, then again you're going from one desolate island to another, and the only redeeming thing is that Iceland atleast has proper internet connections.

That having been said, if i had the skillset to go work for CCP (and not fear flying as if it was the ******* death) i'd go.

Reminds me of what the Greenhorns on Deadliest Catch say before they go and see just how cold and terrible it is in Alaska lol

and dont have a screwy govt that bans video games (as least as far as Ive heard)

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Iceland is also the country which granted citizenship to the world's greatest chess-player, Bobby Fischer, or, as some may know him, the anti-semitic Jew. He made comments in an American radio-show after 9/11 that this was what America deserved, which, being Americans and all, they of course didn't like. He was incarcerated in Japan pending transference to America, if memory serves me right, so he called an old "friend" in Iceland whom had been present during the chess championship there in 1972 between Mr. Fisher and Boris Spassky (the Cold War influenced not only NASA and massive weapon productions, but also chess). This friend in Iceland managed to get an Icelandic court grant Mr. Fischer citizenship.

Iceland stood up against the superpowers, gave it the finger and offered Mr. Fischer a place in their society. Of course, Mr. Fischer was utterly insane around this time and probably alienated everyone whom had helped him avoid a jail-cell in Guantanamo Bay.

Iceland? I like it!
