Too bad I'm in France! :)
Working on GarageGames website seems to be the perfect occasion to work close to game development but as a web developer. There's not a lot of opportunities like this one!

I would love this Job!
*update*
Email sent, work samples at the moment are a bit spartan, sorry about that. Seriously hope I get the job though! ;)

Dreamer would be a great addition to Garagegames. I have been privaleged to work with him on his mmorpg kit for several months now. His development and programing skills are the best out there.

thanks,
Ashtara
