Hey Mickey, I think I might be interested in this. I took journalism in college but have gotten away from writing as I'm in more of a media and video editing now. I think I can get back into writing though. What kind of articles are you guys looking for? Anyways, here's my application:

Name: Adam Black (Mr Black)
Experience: 3 years Print and Broadcast Journalism at Conestofa College (graduated with honors). Work as a content producer for an education software company. Now I'm mostly doing video editing and production but I have worked with and edited magazine articles from buinessweek magazine to fit into our software for customer distribution.
Links to past articles: I was head sports writer for our college paper so here's a sample from early 2007 (the year I graduated): http://blogs1.conestogac.on.ca/spoke/20 ... n.php#more
How often you'll be able to update: Once every week or two depending what you guys are looking for. Reviews? Previews? Opinion pieces? It'll all depend how much research needs to be done as I do work full time.
Make me laugh with a link or joke here:


Could someone possibly PM me with more info please? Thanks!

Question; would I be able to post material here elsewhere? I ask because I'm alreadyy a part of a small group but I am interested in posting articles.

BTW, what exactly are you looking for? Entertainment or news?

I happen to do comedic blogs on hentai from time to time, censored of course.

http://screwattack.com/blogs/Otaku-Corner-20

I use the name Darkseid2 there. Since you guys do an adults only video from time to time, I figured I could make that a bi-weekly feature.

Hello, my name is Christian, and I've followed The Game Heroes for some time now. I've always been interested in doing some type of gaming journalism and review, and I feel I'm a good candidate for this opportunity. I live in Dallas, TX, and I have a shit load of free time and dedication to gaming.

So here's the formal application.

Name: Christian Langton
1. Why you would make a good author for the site:
I have a passion for gaming and a very good critical eye for gameplay and content. I've been an avid gamer, mostly on PC, ever since I could navigate through a game. I put effort into all my videos and projects that I work on personally, and I feel I could transition to contributing very well.

I run my own website, http://thedeadlyrobot.com. I started this not too long ago with the intention of doing movie and game reviews. I have my own camera and sound equipment, along with capture devices.

2. How long you've followed the Game Heroes:
Ever since I started following That Guy With The Glasses. I've been a long time viewer, and I've always wondered what I might be able to do to contribute.

3. Make me Laugh:
Image

4. Links to past articles:
I've written a few on thedeadlyrobot.com, but the site is mostly new, so I haven't written much for it.

5. Forum Accomplishments:
None, I'm afraid I'm very new.

6. How often you'll be able to update:
I'll be able to publish Articles often and sporadically, but videos could be anywhere from once a week to once every two. I'm currently interning for Videography, so I have a good amount of work on my end to do, but also a lot of downtime.

7. Post a picture of yourself:

1) I am a very opinionated person who desperately loves writing. I write to both express and entertain, and feel that my work does a good job at both. I am currently a writer for the website doubleclickedcomics.com and am working on a graphic novel.
2) I've followed you on Twitter and through BlisteredThumbs/TGWTG for just over a year.
3) http://www.doubleclickedcomics.com/doubleclicked/index.php/2009/09/on-strike/
4) I have several articles on my blog at: [url]aggressiveanalysis.blogspot.com[/url]. I'm actually new to this forum. I was a moderator for two years at PureZC.com.
5) I would go for bi-weekly (approx. 2 per month).
6) Larger size avatar picture:

I know... it's been a real minute... that's what attempting to start a family and working overnights does to you... Anyways, I'm here to vouch for The Bastard Gamer a.k.a. Olly... He's been reviewing and writing for a good minute and his videos were very entertaining... Especially that amazing opening theme song... ^_^

But real talk though, his work is excellent... ^_^

Also, I know of at least one other here that would absolutely support Toku toy reviews besides you and me, AKADave... I really want the K touch... ^_^

I'm personally iffy on applying, but having known Dark and Chris (Red Clover) for a while, I can definitely say that they do have the skills to be writers. So pretty much what Debaser said.
