Cool Job Postings

While reading through the daily Gamasutra newsletter, I always browse through the job postings. 2k Marin really out did themselves with their descriptions for several available positions on an unannounced project (Bioshock 2, perhaps?) I've posted two of my favorites.

Animator:
If you made the most awesome flip-books when you were a kid and were undeterred by the unimaginative people who told you that you could never do that for a living, but you continued to refine them until they intersected with computers and you actually started to pay the rent, you might be just who we're looking for. As an animator with 2K Marin, you would be responsible for animating characters using a combination of keyframes and motion capture.
Lead Designer:
You see straight to the heart of games. You are able to hold, fixed in your mind, the paradox of their simultaneous existence as both systems of mathematical purity and as living, breathing emotional entities. This either makes you a genius, or insane, or both. Such distinctions are irrelevant - you're down to earth like that.
Hopefully this sense of humor is not stifled by a possible assimilation.
