Gearbox Software Announces New COGS Initiative (thanks Frans) has details on a new "contractor initiative" at Gearbox Software. Word is: "Candidates for the COGS program must be high school graduates, legal US residents, and at least 18 years of age. Gearbox will have a limited number of COGS contracts that will be available - each contract will be filled by the best talent available. Contracts will be awarded based upon various factors - previous mod/project work, portfolio/demo reel/code sample quality, level of enthusiasm, etc. COGS will be required to have frequent, hands-on interaction with the Gearbox Software developers. So COGS must be located in the proximity of the Gearbox Software offices in Plano, TX for the duration of their contract, and be available during typical business hours."
