Angry Jobs in gaming?

I think there are a couple of people here that want to work in the entertainment industry, and more specifically, the videogame industry. Are you one of them? Would you consider a job in this field?

I for one would love this. In fact, even though I know it's not possible (), I've always wanted to work for a game company. Since I'm not an "artisit," I would probably stay away from designing and since the whole computer coding business seems boring to me, I'd keep away from that too. That said... it has always been like a dream for me to work for a prominent game industry, namely Atlus, and write story lines for their overly magnificent RPGs. I would inclusively like to work as a journalist writing previews and reviews on games for a good gaming magazine or web site. Since, I guess, writing is my "strong" point and I just wuv games, then I think these things would be right up my alley.
The bad thing is that, as absurd as it may sound, I don't even know how you get into writing actual things for games or what the people that do this are called (them being the ones that write story lines for games... who are they??).

Does anyone know? I know there are people that are more into the functions of industries here than me, so if you have any idea, please tell me! I simply thought they were "game writers."

So, yeah what do you guys think about these kinds of jobs?
