EDWARD: Valoscope asks: I'm not as familiar with your back story as I probably ought to be, but I recalled something about you working on television game shows before your conversion to a more criminal career, or was it work in video games? Either way, do you have any interest in one or both of these things? And, nerdchicka asks: Greetings, My. Nygma. I heard that during one of your brief reforms, you were hired to be a toy designer - more specifically, you designed puzzles. That seems like it would have been amusing. Was it?

Seems like a lot of stories are getting out about my various occupations. The gossip mill never stops, of course, but I'd've thought there'd be more interesting things for it to grind over than what I was doing in this or that year. Suffice it to say, I've been a Jack of all trades at one point or another, and yes, I've done my share with the occasional design job. Especially in the early days, when having a resume saying 'genius, no high school diploma' didn't exactly put me in high demand. If any of you have a copy of the 1998 Trivial Pursuit, check the Science questions. You'll see my handiwork if you know where to look. And, there's a certain logic puzzle or two still floating around the internet that I'm pleased to say is my work. Helpful tip: the solutions listed on the websites are always wrong. Think more creatively. Once I found my illegitimate income though, I tended to avoid those kinds of jobs. For one thing, they created income the government requires you to declare, and few things are more annoying than trying to figure out how to mix legal and illegal income on a tax form.
