Also, I'm sure as has been mentioned in this thread that I'll be kept well away from Sony news unless I demonstrate that I can deliver it in an unbiased, informative fashion.

 

I think its been proved hundreds of times that you can't. Unfourtunately the same goes for Microsoft news, except the bias is the other way around.

 

 I would take you seriously... I really would...

But you are 2000 VG$ in debit, which kind of shows your own previous actions in a negative light.

Pot smoking the weed and calling the Kettle a stoner, perhaps?

I've only been banned 3 times (only one of which was really warranted), Starcraft has been banned 5 times.

Fail.

I really don't care if you take me seriously, since you yourself have been banned almost as many times as I have.

 

If someone is Anti PS3, how will that translate into horrible 360 news?

What? Where did I say he will post horrible 360 news? I'm sure it will be fine, packed full of bias, but fine nonetheless.

His bias is a natural level for the 360 though. It is just that he is Anti-PS3.

The two are not intertwined.

Ok lets change the subject from the naughty stuff.

Starcraft/Machina - What topics are you interested in covering in general and do you have any ideas about what your first articles are going to be about?



Tease.

Well I just put my first news article up. 

I think its important to cover things like Xbox Original's releases that normally seem to get overlooked by the VGC community.  Once I pluck up some courage I may also write some editorials/prediction pieces about Microsoft's place in the market.

And I currently have about a billion Fable 2 pieces to put up that I figure I'm going to have to give staggered releases too if I want to keep my position for too long.

Well done guys.

Starcraft is going to add a lot to the 360 news on this site and i'm looking forward to it, he will add more value to the site than those who love to hate on him.

Are these the chosen ones who will bring balance to The 'Chartz?

You've had your say, now you're just being obnoxious.  Let it go.

Thanks for the congratulations guys. I really appreciate the opportunity.

And lets face it, if I don't, I wont be a contributor for very long.

We're looking for 2 (or maybe more) contributors for our news site.

(at least) 1 with a focus on Sony news and 1 on Microsoft news.

We're looking for someone that can present the daily game news in his/her own words. Be aware that all news items have to be posted, not just those of your console of choice. 

...

Good behaviour on the site is a plus but not a necessity.

Can you also put up some overlooked PS2 games please? I am sure there is a news article or two you can find.

Also, I don't see your article, where can I find it?

Actually, for me its the opposite.  I'm not allowed to post Sony related news and threads.  I don't mean its recommended I don't, I mean I'm actually not allowed.

Thats pretty understandable I think given the strength of my favouritism in the past, and it may change if I demonstrate competant and regular news posting abilities.
