There's this scene in Malcolm in the Middle that always kills me where Hal is at a stock car race and has a daydream where you think he's imagining himself as the driver, but it reveals he's actually one of the pit crew cheering him on.

Alright, here's the official I'm looking for work thread. After four years at Inverse, taking the lead on gaming coverage, I'm now completely open to work. I've been a reporter, editor, podcast host, and much more. If you want to see what I can bring to the table, here's some of my best from Inverse

If you read the post it’s actually kind of interesting. Dude wasn’t much of a reader. A text heavy rpg that he really liked pushed him to read more. He’s a dad of young kids so not a ton of free time to commit to a game but snippets of reading over the year and he finished 40 books. Good on him!
