Paramount searching for new games pimp


Dear Mr. Paramount,
Recently it has come to my attention that Paramount is looking for a new executive to lead its gaming initiative. Although I assume that holding the lucrative Saturday Night Fever and Mean Girls gaming licenses means you've received a countless amount of quality resumes, the chance to work with Lindsay Lohan was too great an opportunity to pass up -- we actually almost worked together once, as I regularly volunteer at various rehab facilities throughout the Bay Area but she had supposedly "got all better" and checked out by the time I started at three of the nine centers she has "visited" in the last four months -- but, I digress. I humbly throw my hat into the ring of "exciting executive possibilities."



According to reports on Variety you are searching for an executive to replace outgoing VP of interactive and mobile, Sandi Isaacs. While my work history doesn't offer anything in the way of "executive level" experience -- especially in the mobile space -- I did spend a few years as a manager for EB Games pushing pre-orders on unsuspecting children and furiously knowledgeable fanboys, so I know a thing or two about pressuring people to put money into ideas that should be completely ignored.

As for non-mobile related gaming, I have interesting ideas for the future. Kids love crossovers -- as evidenced by Midway's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game -- so my number one pitch would be an Iron Man vs. Pretty In Pink brawler set in the whimsical John Hughes universe. Not any of the MUGEN crap, I'm talking toss buckets of money at this thing and watch it float.

This is running a little long but hopefully you can appreciate my ideas and concepts, especially if your appreciation translates into six-figures and a sports car of some kind. Oh, and don't forget the snow tires. I'm Canadian. Sorry, I'm digressing again. Hire me.

Love,
Xav de Matos
