So, I just sent this off....

WorthPlaying is recruiting. So I sent them this email.

Hello. My name is Gordy Wheeler, and I'd like to
review games for WorthPlaying.com. My prior piece of
experience in game review, a review of the PC
adventure game Riven done for About.com's now-defunct
Adventure Gaming site, is sadly offline. As such I
can't point to any handy samples to say "Look, I wrote
this."

I do, however, own a PS2, a reasonably decent gaming
PC, a Gamecube, and a GBA. I'm also in possession of a
TV card for screen captures, and have been playing
games for a large portion of my life. I therefore have
the occasional ring of credibility. In addition, I
managed through two years of an English major before
outside circumstances forced me to leave college.

Is there a place on your writing staff for me?


So I'm wondering if this is too standoffish, or... I dunno. I'm hoping it doesn't come off as too brash, but the alternative is getting down and begging.

Mostly I just want to write game reviews. Not for pay, but because I -could-, because it combines my two favorite pastimes. (Video gaming and ranting energeticly about video games. Yeah.)

In further news, it is exceptionally goddamn cold. There was more I wanted to talk about, but I can't remember right now. I'll post again later if it comes to mind.

Or you could write a new review of a game you're playing.
