Microsoft, already the biggest software company, is looking for a video-game programmer to help "in our quest for world domination." The ideal candidate: a "megalomaniac genius with severe god-complex," the company says on its Bungie Studios Web site.

The artificial-intelligence engineer Microsoft seeks is one of about 60 people the Redmond company is hiring to create the next generation of "Halo," the top-selling video game for its Xbox machine. "Halo 2," the $50 game the company introduced in November, pits players against "a terrifyingly aggressive alien civilization" called the Covenant.
