Remember

At some point towards the end of my past career writing about games, I tried to add up roughly how many articles I'd written over the years. It was a lot. For Gamers.com and 1UP alone I wrote...well, let's see...maybe an average of eight news stories a day for two years, forty a week, about two thousand a year, plus reviews and features and other

I think you're seriously undervaluing your writing skills, and I'm not just saying that as a friend. I found your stuff entertaining and frequently more thoughtful than what I saw in other reviews. (Granted, that's not a high standard.)

Xenosaga, however, just makes me sad. It had some great setpieces and characters, but it made even less sense and was less fun to play than Xenogears.

By the third one they had settled on a basic game design that I think more or less worked. Anyway I didn't mind the parts of it where I was actually playing it.

The rest of the thing had spiraled so far out of control that it didn't really matter, though.

This made me curious to total up how much I've written for Jeremy's GameSpite project to date... looks like about three dozen articles totaling around 25k words. Probably more than half of which I'm not embarrassed about. I never really thought a writing portfolio was a thing I'd ever have, but there it is.

Fun as a hobby, but I feel like I'd run out of interesting things to say right quick if I tried to do it full time.

I still remember that one-star review, it was fantastic. Though I do pity the poor PR reps who often end up having to spend months on end desperately trying to promote something pretty crappy.
