what i've been doing (other than posting)

2009 so far has been a rough year. from the get go, the tragic news of EGM's closure and the 1UP layoffs set the tone of how things are going to go, but though tragic, it is also inspiring. ex-1UP and ex-EGM staff have shown while they are down, they are definitely not out. RebelFM proves to be the hand bursting out of the rubble. talkingorange's plans proves to be the inspirational rise from a damaging fall. though i say EGM forever, the future can be even brighter for those affected by the layoffs. That hope and optimism shown by those groups of people have inspired me to write in order to support the cause of game journalism. game journalism seems like one of the best jobs, but it should be all about the passion. the layoffs are rough, but the passion for games still stands. and i'll stand by it.

through the filth and the fury caused by winter break, i managed to get though my pile of shame with great vengance. here's the list:
-resistance 2
-mirror's edge
-fallout 3
-prince of persia
-littlebigplanet
-yakuza
-persona 4
-and a shitstorm of movies (randomized game thoughts, but who cares?)

so i'll write. we'll write. and stay writing. forever.
