You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

God, I started writing when GG started and it was a hell of a ride.

Anyway, Video game journalism involves very little research unless we're doing an investigative piece.

Otherwise, its all press releases, reviews, and maybe an interview or two.

As for what I write? I'm the resident guru on stupid Japanese crap at both sites I write for, so lots of visual novels, rpgs, and Vita Waifu crap.

I've some really cool interviews though! Like I've gotten to talk to Ryukishi07, Mark Rosewater (MTG), Brennan Williams (Greatblackotaku), and a few anime voice over artists like Steven Blum.

Sitting in a room with Steve Blum and just talking for an hour was a highlight, he even said "Big O Showtime!" for me.

Part time writing for three sites, the money pretty much just goes to my hobbies.

1. Chrono Cross
2. Digital Devil Saga 1+2
3. Devil Survivor
4. FF Tactics
5. Rewrite

i take it with those kinds of articles, you're fairly beholden to the game devs not to criticize their games.

With Press releases we just put forth what the PR guys sent us.

Reviews are a different matter and I've given games awful reviews and still gotten games from the publisher who's title I trashed.
