I'd take the job of whatever bright spark decided it'd be a good idea to pump the site full of crappy ads.

Advertising to help pay for the site is one thing, but ads for unrelated foundations, charities (I'm seeing CityKids and Alzheimers!), not to mention those 'You're the millionth winnar! Click to get a laptop!' or 'I lost 120 pounds in a week, click here to find out how!' ads, and those optical illusion and 'quiz' ads are just WRONG.

I'd be the guy that never looks like he's doing anything, but somehow manages to show a profit or final product. I'd sit in the most comfortable chairs and make fun of everything, constantly.

.... or a reviewer
considering that Yahtzee and other internet critics probably "review" from their own homes I'm guessing that their is a lot of overlap in the career paths of game critic and webcam whore.

I would probably be Yathzee's assistant troll.

I would get him coffee, pick up his dry cleaning, schedule his appointments, and help him come up with new troll ideas.

Probably a consultant and a moderator. I've tried my hand at writing articles before on other sites - I've got such a weird perspective I think I drive off more readers than I attract, and rarely do I have the patience for the editing process. As a consultant, I could turn my 26+ yrs of gaming experience towards helping them figure things out. As a moderator, I could harness my tendency towards forum procrastination to quickly find and shut down threads which violate the forum rules.

Probably the guy that puts up all the advertisements,

Or and editor of some sort because I suck at writing original material

I'd be the guy who sits around and eats doughnuts all day, yet somehow manages to get paid. I think I'd be good at that.

I'd write reviews for pen & paper RPGs. Getting paid to feed my addiction can't possibly end badly.
