Play a game. Join the secret service.


The UK secret services are having a personal problem. Yes, James Bond did his work as good as he could, but in the end of the day he is only one man. The overwhelming need for new recruits is forcing the different agencies to advertise in some pretty odd places.

While MI5 decided to advertise on sides of buses and the women magazine the "Cosmopolitan", the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) picked a more unconventional yet popular media with his target audience - video games.

Starting next month, the GCHQ recruitment ad will feature on a number of action games including
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Need for Speed Carbon. Huge boards will call out all gamers to join the GCHQ ranks. The people from the agency hope that the action in said games will help deliver the massage to the teenagers.

A speaker from the organization said that the requirements for new recruits in the GCHQ are "Understanding in computers, adaptability with technology and quick thinking", traits that are common among the gamers. The agency promises to monitor the effectiveness of this campaign.

Who am I?

So who am I?
Well my name is Konstantine Kaploon, Or as my friends call me Kost.
I learn in school 5 days a week.
Have university courses on Fridays.
I work as an Intern Tester in a commercial game development company called Reverie World Studios.
The company is based in Toronto, Canada but has employees around the world.
Right now we are working on a RTS (Real Time Strategy) title called Dawn of Fantasy.
Dawn of Fantasy is supposed to be released for the PC and Xbox360.
I'm learning programing and game development on my free time, and want to be a programmer after i finish school. I would prefer of course to be a programmer in the game development field.

This blog will be about me, my life, programing, gamedev, gaming, tech and other random stuff i find on the net.

And to my first recommendation:
StumbleUpon

From the official site:

StumbleUpon helps you discover and share great websites. As you click Stumble!, we deliver high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended by your friends or one of 3,654,204 other websurfers with interests similar to you. Rating these sites you like () automatically shares them with like-minded people – and helps you discover great sites your friends recommend.
Basically its a toolbar in Firefox in witch you select what things interest you and start "stubling" through sites other people with similar interests would like. On every site you can click you like/dislike it. The engine analyzes what you like with what other people like and over time you get more and more sites you would like.

Thats all for now, take care.
