    The link you gave goes to a downloadable PDF document that cost US$5.95 to download. I don't see how you can view it for free.

    Jim's Guide on how to make a lot of money.

    1. Publish a guide that shows you what careers are available in the game industry!

    2. Sell the guide on the intarnet!

    3. Ignore the fact that the consumer doesn't have really good chances of getting any of those jobs!

    4. Profit!

    Starring The Rock as the crappy hero, and some actually respected actor (such as maybe Michael Kane, or Harvey Harvey Keitel) as the bad guy. Summer blockbuster, here we come.

    Closed by threadmaker request. Apparently you guys don't feel like taking this seriously. True, it seems to cost money to read the pdf, but the least we could've done for each other was look around for a free-to-read introductory excerpt or something. Instead we have a little list describing the fictional story of a drug dealer.
