Eventhough I'm also in the area there will be no challenge from me because my writing is terrible.  But if you do get the press pass or trial games can I borrow them every now and then, BnM?

I'm not applying. I'm sure my writing is horrible too. I just want to go to a few of the events, maybe hold a camera or something, rub elbows with some industry insiders and definitely play a bunch of the games.

I'm really interested in applying for a position as a staff writer. I am just now entering college and I hope to major in journalism. If I were to get a position at NWR, it would help me greatly in getting a job in game journalism in the future. Currently I do not feel that I have enough work to apply, but I certainly will in the future. As of now my only real piece dealing with video games is a Pilotwings Resort review.

I am also interested. I doubt NWR has any positions open, though.

We still need people in the SF Bay Area, LA, and I suppose somebody who could cover PAX would be nice.

Well, I'm around 3 hours from Seattle. However, I'm only 16 going on 17. So I doubt I'd get the money nor permission to go. That is, unless I got the job. If I got it, I could convince my parents to arrange something.

Also, I've never gone to a con or expo before, so I'd need advice from the experts.

Hey, I live in the SF Bay Area!!

Why won't you guys hire me!! And don't say it's because I have yet to apply or show any interest in actually working for the site beyond getting passes to E3 and other such gaming events.

Affirmative Action!!! I'm invoking it!!

Cool! Downloads editor? That sounds perfect for me! I'll see what I can do about filling out a resume, though I have no idea how to go about doing so. But I love to write, and I love Nintendo, so I might as well give it a try!

Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I live right by EA, Square and Konami. The convention center where E3 is held is just a hop, skip and jump away too. I wouldn't mind doing random miscellaneous things for NWR that doesn't specifically involve writing opinion based articles. I just don't feel like I ever have anything to say worth reading. Well except for Pokemon and how so far 3D looks to do nothing for the gameplay.


When no one is available for certain events in the area like with comicon, I'll be glad to write up impressions like with Kirby's Anniversary and the 3DSXL.

Ok. Serious talk, can I just get a gig on the full site as 'that guy who occasionally submits satirical stuff just making fun of stuff that's going on with Nintendo because I think i've proven to have some fairly decent ideas that with a little fine tuning could help add a touch of whimsy to NWR.

We already have an annoying guy who occasionally posts somewhat decent satirical articles, his name is James Jones.

I think 2 examples that are a year apart might not be the best application material.

Anyway, I'm interested in the editor position.  What's the website's stance on treating company names as plural nouns?  Because I am against it.
