While it's true that it's an anagram.. more specifically, though, it's a spoonerism. A phrase where initial letters or syllables get switched.

example:
pack of lies >> lack of pies

pyromaniac/beyond keeps a giant word doc of sceners and where they work. yes, lots at game companies.

and for those coders not yet at game company or wanting better game company please direct your attention to: http://www.arena.net/jobs/toolsengine-programmers.html (makers of http://www.guildwars.com)

I see no problem with a game company submitting a demo to a compo as long as they follow all the same rules as everyone else.

Sceners getting jobs? I just can't believe this is happening. Next thing you know they'll be getting married and starting families.
wtf.

the sad thing is when somebody stops making demos cos they get a job, or only did demos in the first place to get a job. otherwise it can be a nice way to suck in more (talented) people into the scene =)

Okkie: I think the lesson here is that mp3 players by Sony are best left in the store. Or shot into the sun :)

Smash, while we're at it, please have sonicstage fixed, because it looks nice and all, but crashes all the time. :P
