I'm flying to San Francisco this coming Thursday on Activision's dime to play an unreleased game, tour the studio and interview the developers.

I'm a game journalist, motherfuckers.

You want someone to tag along with you, I might be available.

I now know the full extent of Insanolord's abuse of power.

Too bad it's an Activision game and not something good...

It has come to my attention that my last post may be seen as gloating. I assure you that that was not the intent, I was and am merely giddy about this whole turn of events and let myself go maybe a bit too far. Rest assured that I don't think of myself as better than you because I'm staff, and that I only think I'm better than you to the same extent I did before I took on this responsibility.

@BnM I think this event is only for those of us who are members of the press, but I'll buy you a beer Thursday night if you like.

I hope your ego fits in the carry-on.

The overhead apartment is more of a worry.

so hows about I abuse my power.

One of you will find an easter egg hidden in your account profile.

You have 24 hours to come forward and identify what I did.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #158 on:** September 19, 2011, 09:32:29 PM »

And if we identify it, then what?

oohhboy · « **Reply #159 on:** September 19, 2011, 09:42:35 PM »

He will let you live?

Shaymin · « **Reply #160 on:** September 19, 2011, 09:45:49 PM »

Not guilty. Not yet, anyway.

You changed my age to 69. Clever.

Not I, although I find it amusing.

Wasn't me.

Nobody guessed it right.

Which is the correct answer.

I altered no profiles this day.

...And so that's the story of how I decided to become a video game journalist.

The terrorists have begun torturing the passengers one by one

with stories about video game reporting.

AVIATION SAFETY TIP # 9: The safest place for your kids on an airplane is in the overhead compartments, which are specifically designed to shield them from the unending blathering of zealous gaming keyboard-newsmen.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #169 on:** September 22, 2011, 12:56:14 AM »

I can only applaud once in an hour

someone should fix that.

AVIATION SAFETY TIP # 10: In order to preserve your sanity midway through a flight, it may be necessary to restrain a fellow passenger on their way to San Francisco on Activision's dime to play an unreleased game, tour the studio and interview the developers. Pay attention to the overhead cabin lights and do not hesitate to use force if necessary. They will not show you any more mercy than you could possibly intend to show them, trust me.

*Airline Trivia*
The Mile High Club originally referred to a group of lobbyists who attempted to have all video game journalists placed on the No-Fly List.

International Space Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable, artificial satellite in low Earth orbit. The ISS follows the Salyut, Almaz, Cosmos, Skylab, and Mir space stations, as the 11th space station launched into orbit by humanity in order to escape a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by people who report on games with a strict adherence to style guides, free from bias. It can not currently be reached by airplane.

The International Space Station on 30 May 2011 as seen from the departing Space Shuttle Endeavour during STS-134. The most peaceful place in the universe.

Not all last resort food is created equal. Can you eat fellow passengers without gaining a gut? Yes. You. Can! Even though these disaster meals wouldn't normally make the top of any nutritionist's food list, we tracked down some exceptions to the fast-equals-fat rule.

Soccer Team

1 g fat (2.5 g saturated)

With a steady diet of Mountain Dew and Doritos chips, video game journalists can last a stranded crash survivor for weeks. Unlike an athlete, you won't worry about not having enough meat on the bone, and they are also unlikely to get very far from the impact site.
