How good of a gamer are you?
Want to work for Antair? Well … how good of a gamer are you?
The thing is, we’re getting a little tired around here of having our butts handed to us every single time someone is dumb enough to challenge Ania in a video game.
Me vs. Ania - Halo 3 - Several matches in, I’m whimpering under my desk.
Me vs. Ania - Burnout Revenge - After a few minutes I’m making excuses that works needs to be done and I’m behind schedule … crawling back to my workstation.
You should see the girl on the guitar in Rockband!
I stopped playing against her — there’s no chance.
Nick thought he could do better against her in that Wii air-hockey thing (picture below) — turns out Nick was wrong.
So, if you’re applying for a job at Antair, your qualifying interview requirement is being able to beat Ania at any XBox 360 or Wii game at the office.

Don’t suppose you guys play Team Fortress 2 by any chance? We have a daily lunch game here at work, and would love to find another tech company to play against. Purely friendly competition, of course…

I think we have a copy of The Orange Box somewhere in the office — but it’s mostly for Portal. After Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, I’m staying away from multiplayer games, lest we find ourselves in a situation where Ania is systematically kicking butt across the board, while the rest of us are waiting to respawn for 20 minutes after being killed off by friendly fire.
