Note to Jagex: Do *NOT* hire the guys who edited all of those otherwise excellent iCould videos!

I have to say, Jagex has some very appealing benefits to that job.

Dang, this sounds like a job I'd really love to do. I wouldn't mind working at Jagex -- I don't share Laura's hatred of Brits, so I could handle working and living with (some) of them, I'm no good at programming, and I'm sub-par (In my eyes) at graphic design... But I'm not bad at video work.

It seems like Jagex's YouTube channel is gonna get more interesting.

Didn't Jagex already have a MechScape video ready?

On a related note Jagex is now accepting all friend invites :)

"What's your job at Jagex?"

"Accepting all friend requests." :)

Huh?

Note to Jagex: Do *NOT* hire the guys who edited all of those otherwise excellent iCould videos!

Jagex probably tried making the iCould videos themselves, then realized they couldn't.... so they decide to pay someone a lot of money to do it for them.

iCould is a careers guidance website for UK schools which tries to help people think about their future. Jagex didn't film or edit any of the videos and doesn't run the project. Jagex helped the scheme by having some of its employees participate by being interviewed by the iCould team.

True, there is only so much you can do with crappy footage.

I smell a trailer. If they are hiring now, we shouldn't expect it anytime soon :S
