I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I'm considering reapplying - as I said I did really enjoy the work and the opportunities - but I'm really not sure if I'm welcome given my...stubborn nature and tendency to be controversial in a few key topics/areas. 

Don't worry if you're welcome or not, pursue it if you desire.  There are always going to be haters, just ignore them, variety is a good thing.

I appreciate the encouragement, but it goes a bit deeper. I actually did review for the site between 2011 and 2013/2014, there was some friction between me and a handful of people who didn't like some of my low-scoring reviews, and I argued a lot. I love doing game review and I write for a living now (fantasy erotica, if you're curious), so I'm more mature in terms of people criticising my work, but I do still tend to have somewhat outlandish views on a handful of games. 

Oh, and I STILL get review codes offered to me via my email somehow. I think they failed to cut off my VGC email address, so all the automatically-generated emails out to press got sent to it and forwarded to my Gmail account. fun stuff.
