Thanks to NWR for the opportunity, and I'm really looking forward to starting here on the site.

Awesome, congrats and welcome!

Congratulations to DrewMG and the yet-to-be-named staffer!

At first I was kind of surprised about DrewMG, but then I realized I haven't really read much of his work, since most of it is posted in Geneal Gaming and also off-site. I look forward to seeing your contributions to Nintendo World Report, though adding the eliteness of "NWR" to your username is unnecessary.

I hope the guy from NintendoLife will be here shortly to introduce himself to all of us.

Congrats Drew (and other guy)!

I kind of agree.  I don't mean to tell you what you can and can't use for a user name, but it seems like you need to pick a structure and stick with it.  Either have all staffers use NWR or none of them.  (Personally, I think NWR is redundant--the color of your user name indicates that you are staff.)

YES! A Canadian!

I miss Canada. T_T

It's good to see that we have new people on staff. If I recall correctly, Matt's last review for Nintendo Life was Fatal Frame 4 which is interesting. Anyways it's good to see the site grow :).

Well done Drew!

Not only do I agree, but I already sent a PM to Flames of Chaos whose name was already long enough before adding the redundant NWR to the front of it.


edit: Oh and congratulation to the one I know and welcome aboard to the one I don't

Yep. Till their Dazed & Confused ;)

Have we started a "Paddle the new guy" tradition, yet?

Thanks everyone!  Warm Welcome: RECEIVED.

Welcome guys! I would give you a welcome to staff gift... But we are too lazy to order one ;) .

It isn't really necessary, because they'll receive enough of a beating once they discover just how harsh of critics the forum goers can be.  ;)

Yay! Congrats DrewMG and Matt!

Fun Fact: Any of you who went to UncleBob's Brawl launch event in sunny Carmi, IL will have already gotten a small taste of DrewMG's antics. :D If not, he's a good guy and a great writer. You're gonna like his work.

I know who DrewMG is. I would say welcome to Matt if I wasn't so racist against Canadians. That's a joke. I only hate French Canadians

Is "Canadian" a race?

Yay new staff.

What happened to Jrlib?
Did he not make the cut?

It should be.

I'm enforcing the "NWR" before the name.  Everybody we hire from here on out will have thus prefix added to their forum name.  It's nothing about "eliteness"; I just want it to be obvious who's staff and who isn't.

because the glowing blue name wasn't obvious enough?

Congrats DrewMG!

Also I don;t mind the NWR prefix, but why does it have to have the ugly underscore between the names? That's what annoys me most.

I wouldn't put too much stock into my appearance that weekend - I was sick the entire time and went to bed like a half hour after I got Brawl in my hands.  As far as launch events go it was great, but I was a big bag of inFAILenza.

Welcome  :D First el podcasto robusto, now a canadian. NWR has gone international! Now time to add french and spanish subtitles to everything!

The Glowing Blue and the "NWR Staff" under the name?

Personally, I think the NWR makes the names look stupid and take away from the uniqueness of each poster.

They must conform. Assimilate into the NWoRg. None shall resist.

Shrug, They used to have PGC in front of each name.

NWR reminds me of ANWR. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

So where is Mathew?

He got a jump on the other staff members by ignoring the forums before he was hired.

Congratulations Drew. I'm not surprised that you got hired and I hope that you stay on the site as long as you can.

I'd think that if people like the staffers then they're going to know who they are even without any such indicators.

Just put "NWR" at the beginning of your username and "NWR Staff" as your custom title and people will think you're staff.

In the case of Neal Wesley Ronaghan It would just be his initials. Too bad he is already staff.

Oh, Fresh Meat!  ;)

Just kidding, of course.  Congrats upon your appointment, and I look forward along with everyone else to reading your work.

Who?

I still have to straighten out Matthew's forum credentials.  He'll poke his head in here soon.

Huh, Lindy, could someone change my name to "NWR_Not The Jason In Gainesville Nick and Chessa Know"?

Then change the title to fit it in some appropriate manner...?  Wait, can't Drew_MG do that?

Congrats, Andy.  Congrats Matthew.  I'm congratulating Andy more, though, I feel I need to be honest.  You've got to earn your legit congrats through forum cred, or something.  Maybe if you change my name...

WUT WUT! Congrats, Andy (and other dude)!

Hey, thanks Karl. 

DrewMG is dead to me.

Well that's what I get for being mafia.
