Well, I'd appreciate anything. I'm simply swamped with my other "responsibilities" here, so Product Reviews, Rants, etc., seem to fall further and further to the bottom of the proverbial pile. It's not that I don't want to write them, I just can't. (Insert Sad Face)
I can say this - those of you who want to showcase some of your writing talents, writing a product review is a good place to start. The Game Industry isn't just about writing fiction. There are a whole slew of peripheral ways to earn a buck and get involved in a meaningful manner - also, writing useful criticism is helpful! (I won't say why, but it is - trust me!)
In a lot of ways, showing off here gives you an edge over those F'tards on the CBT forums. Writers, developers, etc., do pay attention (despite what you think - they tend to do so in stealth) and have a far easier time reading and listening to someone through this type of platform (which is self contained and monitored for idiots & fanboys) than on the CBT snake-pit.
That said, I will re-mention that there are "boons" to writing for the OBT - I'll just leave those specifics to the takers.
