So I'm in the kitchen and Dad excitedly asks me "Did you see the email I sent you?"
"No, I haven't checked my email yet today."
"You should check it out. Have you ever hear of Iaya...or was it oyou?"
"Oh, are you talking about Ouya?"
"Yeah! What do you know about them?"
"That their console sucks and is doomed to fail. And if this is about a job offering, then I absolutely refuse."
(Cue a long winded lecture from my Mom and Dad about being up to date about the latest in technology, how I should get on it now or else I'll be left behind and never get a job, and how I need to be paying off my student loans, etc.)
I say "Ok, fine, I'll look at the Email and do some research" to get them off my backs.
So here I am, looking up stuff, and I want your opinions on this. Yea or Nay, and why.
For job experience it'd be absolutely great imo.
Ryu-Gi working for Ouya?
I think yea.
Go ahead. If they are offering a job it's money in the bank, plus it's experience working for a start up. Don't let your opinion of their system cloud your judgement.
Do you already have a job?
If not do it, if you do do it if it pays more.
The ouya is awful, and not worth anyone's time.
Why not?
It'd be stupid not to.
If you manage to make the Ouya not suck, then that'll look really good when you try and get other jobs, if not, experience is experience.
Money's money. And it certainly won't hurt for having experience you can put on paper.
Do it
Ok, an update. My dad actually did a little research of his own.
"Okay, yeah, the Ouya might fail. You should work for Google or Apple when they make their own gaming consoles instead."
mate, beggars can't be choosers. A job is a job. and at least it would be a relatively comfortable job, not something like working on a line in a chicken processing plant.

so wait was the email actually a job offer or literally "son I want you to research Ouya and apply"

I too am curious, it sounds like you're saying that your Dad emailed you about Ouya
why would Ouya email your dad to hire [I]you[/I]

The email was literally just a link to the Ouya site's "jobs" section. Dad really didn't do his research.

oh okay well then spend your efforts somewhere else unless you think you have a super good shot compared to other companies
I say yes, on the basis that a job is a job. Even if they go under, that's some work experience. Just apply, it will make your parents happy, and you get a shot at work.
They sell the OUYA at the local Target store. I asked an employee about how long the dusty things have been on the shelf considering how shit they were. He was like, "I've worked here since release and not one of those things has sold. My manager actually made us start dusting them off after a while, but he kinda stopped caring after they continued to not sell at all."

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;43743751]Actually if you got a free console for working there I'd say it's kinda worth it :v:[/QUOTE]
They'd have to pay me to even consider owning an OUYA.
Influence Ouya to make a console that plays PS1 and 2 for free and I might consider siding with them.
What's that you say? Copyright? Fuck.
Ouya-Gi
Honestly, I feel kind of sorry for the Ouya.
You should work for Ouya if it gives you the excuse to say "OUYAAAAAAAA" like the Kool-Aid guy
I mean, you're working for a gaming system. This is job experience most people don't get. Take it.
