Just a note

BusterLogic the blog is changing. My goal with the blog is to create some kind of amalgam of writings to use in a portfolio to attain a job in the field of video game journalism. Right now, I don't have many readers, in fact, I only have one and he only reads occasionally. In an effort to get more attention without whoring myself out, I'm broadening the scope of what this blog is. I'm still going to focus on video games, but I'm also going to catalogue my attempts to get into the field and my efforts in school to get a degree. Not much is going to change really, I'll just be posting more.

Aside from that, I applied for a job writing for RPGamer last night. I don't really have a snowballs chance in hell at getting the gig, but I figured that I had more to lose not trying than I did to get rejected. As a part of the application, I had to write three fake news stories to prove my merits as a writer. Out of the six possible choices, I chose Pokemon, Suikoden and Banpresto to write about. In all honesty, these were probably about the three worst choices for me to write about considering my lack of knowledge in the games. I stopped caring about Pokemon after Gold and Silver with a brief relapse for Platinum and I've never really been a Suiko fan nor a fan of Super Robot Wars or Ar Tonelico. I actually typed them out on the blogspot and copy/pasted them over, so I still have saved drafts of them on my list of writings. I'll probably post them tomorrow despite their weaknesses. At least it will be fun for a read, right?

Lastly, I found out that my mini review of Super Metroid Eris was used on the download page and on NeoGAF. It's a real honor actually, I just wish that they would have linked to the blog since mine was the only one that wasn't an actual post on the forum. Oh well, it can be forgiven, Eris was fun.
