Quick question - what if I really like writing about games but I'm also poor? As in, there is no way I can afford getting new releases?

Edit: I see that you can write reviews for older games. How likely would it be for a writer to get his hands on a review copy for an up-coming release, though? 

I'll probably be putting an application in. Seems like a really cool opportunity.

You don't need to invest time every week to be honest, it just depends on your lifestyle I guess. I work around 40 hours per week, but I do writing in my downtime between exercises in the gym (unconventional, I know) so I've just kind of fitted it around other things.

Machina will tell you more about exactly what's expected, but I think writing a couple of articles/reviews a month would be more than acceptable. It doesn't have to be a significant time sink, but absolutely it can be a nice little hobby on the side that brings in a little cash.

No way to see unique views other than the views counter we get as part of the writing tools. I'll just say that unique views is notably less than total views.

Hi guys and gals, the deadline to apply for staff writer ends on Friday, August 2. If you're still thinking of applying, now's the time!

Thanks to all those who have already submitted applications.

I'm working on my submissions now. Just a quick question. I know you said to keep the submissions short. How short exactly? Can I get a word or paragraph count to stick to? Thanks.

Just submitted mine. It's a pretty long one, but it's one that I'm very passionate about.

Just submitted mine. Let me know if you guys need anything else, thanks!

Sent mine in, thanks for the consideration.

I've got too much going on in my life right now, haven't had time to make an application, so I likely wouldn't have had time for this position in the medium term. I wish everybody who applied luck. Might apply if it ever opens up again.

Just sent my application. Please let me know if it arrived in due time. Hope you enjoy my efforts.
Thanks!!!
