An EVO Video With a “Heart of Gold,” and My Favorite Moments

My three dream jobs, in no particular order:

1. Respected musician
2. Video game journalist
3. World Warrior of Street Fighter

This video, posted by Richard Li on 1up, really makes me want to take number #3 more seriously:

Kmart to Feature Shopper Reviews in the Video Game Aisle

I FINALLY HAVE MY CHANCE!

In an attempt to sell more video games to people who don’t read video game blogs all day (idiots…), Kmart will begin using excerpts from community-written reviews to place alongside their games.

How do you get your lovely gamer prose on the esteemed shelves of Kmart, you ask? Firstly, you must be a member of the MyKmart Club for Gentlemen. Then, you are to construct a helpful, unique, and well-written review intended for gamers and non-gamers alike (mostly non-gamers, because the real bad dudes don’t trust you). So people whose creativity and writing chops max out at, “DUDE THIS GAME IS FLAPPING SICK!” need not apply. Oh well, too bad for me.

A good example lies in the photo at the top (click to expand) of this post. It’s a review of Red Dead Redemption written by Josh. What do you mean, you don’t know who Josh is?

Welcome back.

That’s right. Welcome back. To me. Not you. You were probably never here before, but sometime last year I started this website with lofty dreams of blogging myself to E3. I know, brilliant.  I wrote 10-15 posts everyday, did a few reviews, and burnt out after about a month. But now I’m back to writing at a much slower pace, I’m living at home, and discovering all sorts of things about my body. I’m finding out that though the faces have changed, the hassles are just the same.
