Sorry, intelligence agents. The UK secret service.. department.. sparklingly named GCHQ (Government Communication HeadQuarters), or apparently a.k.a Surveillance (ooh it's all so black ops!), is going to recruit for personnel via videogames:
GCHQ will this month become the first spy agency to embed adverts for new recruits inside computer games. The advertisements will appear as billboards in the fictional landscapes of games including Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Double Agent.
Sign me up. Always wanted to be a spy. There's a rumour that Mi5 infiltrates the Beeb and stamps employees' personnel records with a little christmas tree if they're of, say, dubious political leanings. I don't think I ever got one in my time there; far too well behaved, overall, which as a general rule is probably a very silly idea.
