Here's a bit of outlandish information that just popped across my desk today: OPSYS is a recently formed gaming PC system builder whose name I'd never heard before, but they're offering £30,000 a year to run the "Overpowered User Experience" division of the company! The opportunity is being offered to just one "gamer". You don't have to do anything, just play the game on a PC provided by the company. What's the problem, you ask? Well, it's all very strange.

First, the company is still new. With only a few reviews, it is difficult to determine what kind of situation they are in. You would think that a fledgling company would struggle to raise the funds needed for a made-up position of £30,000 a year, but here we are. So I would be immediately alerted to what awaits us.

Then there's the "job ad", which is esoteric with all the gamer terminology. Please don't take this as a personal opinion. Most of us have moved on, but some legacies clearly live on. The following is an excerpt from the "Notes" section of the "job ad":

"We do not accept trolls. We are looking for serious gamers who spend more time in the game itself than in the comments section of more serious gamers. We ask for old-fashioned, parent-rejected, bloodshot, unforgiving, normal gamers."

"No clans. Look, we all like to party. But we're looking for people who are willing to go solo. So please don't think you can come with your sexy twins and try to shake us up and make us do some sort of freaky team play."

The idea seems to be repeated throughout that anyone who wins a contest must also thoroughly dislike their own parents.

If that wasn't strange enough, there is even a small poem on the page about OPSYS.

We're not sure, but we're not 100 percent sure about this whole OPSYS job ad. But we can't help but wonder "what if?"

What if it really was legitimate competition? What if this company, whose conception of gamers is thoroughly outdated, was going to hand out £30,000 to someone who does absolutely nothing for a year but stay at home and play games on their OPSYS PC?

Otherwise, what would we gain from this strange competition? As a publicity stunt, it may have caught our attention: ...... I really don't know what to say about this one.

Personally, I am a cautious type and will not enter this competition. If you sign up and win a jack-all £30,000 a year salary, fair play. All of life is a big risk. The entry requirements are as follows.
