 The company manufactures a console and designs games for their own 
machines (this should leave a few  possibilities;). It is only one of three 
companies I have ever sent my resume to in the last ten years, and it was 
through one of their programmers who knew and greatly respected my work 
that initial contact was made(ie. without his initiative I wouldn't have 
sent my resume and would have just stayed in my comfortable corporate job). 

 The business can use as many creative people that they can get their 
hands on. The production values of games have greatly increased over the 
years, but playability has not kept pace. But most lacking is the art of 
grabbing someone's heart and stomach and giving them the ride of a 
lifetime. Since I live and breath games, have been a student of a 
plethora of the arts and sciences I hope to contribute what I am allowed 
to provide that thrill to fellow gamers.
