    SRK is hiring! And it's actually a paid position......as strange as that is to see on a gaming website of any kind, but particularly a competitive gaming site!

    RandomSelect is enough for me methinks!

    Having said that, I wouldn't mind applying as I have been enjoying scrounging for news and getting paid for it would be delicious. I imagine there'd be issues with writing for two fighting game news sites though and I love you guys too much to abandon RS.ie :pac:
