So you’re assuming that people who post here actually play games? If you really want information, why not go to a tournament and interview people? If you’re really serious about this, I recommend contacting Gootecks (http://twitter.com/#!/gootecks).
Couldn’t they give that assignment to someone with a clue…? Sigh, I’m eagerly awaiting what will be another uninformed senseless piece of crap that newspapers call articles nowadays. Why do you even ask, just make some shit up like you originally planned to, it’s not like it matters.
FG players are all sexist racist rapists that spend their afternoons gathering in gangs to beat up little kids and burn old people. Video games affect our social lives heavily since obviously we wouldn’t be such sick bastards if it wasn’t for the violent games. Either that, or we simply don’t have a (social) life. FGs should be banned worldwide for the greater good. Rumour has it that Joseph Kony is actually a diligent 3S player who just kidnaps and kills kids that call SF4 a good game.
There, article done. Have fun with your $$$, don’t forget to donate some money to Reverge Labs - if you do, I’ll gladly ghostwrite some more of your precious assignments.
Get a hold of Mightymar.
I’ve been going to events and tournaments every week so far, but now I’m adding more info and I need to start on forums.
Why waste time on a video game forum if your not actually playing games?
We’re all trying to write articles, duh.
You can’t make anything up. it’s called fact checking. calling interviews and making sure all the information is right.
thanks for the encouragement.
So let me get this straight. You have no knowledge of any video games and you were assigned to report on a story but now all of a sudden you were going to events and tournament every week and yet you “have no knowledge of any video games.”
Regarding your last question, the same thing we do every night. TO TRY AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
Anyway, this statement still stands:
Regarding anyone asking you to write an article. Grammar: It’s the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit.
Video games have done a great deal for me in the real world. When I see red barrels I know to avoid them or use them to kill the bad guys that are around. I know that if I get a prostitute Its best to shoot her and get my money back when im finished with her. If I get into a fist fight I should probably just let the guy beat me till im almost unconscious, then use my ultra to defeat him.
the majority of people prefer to play games in social situations, especially fighting games.
You should go to a casual event or a tourney (are you in Chicago? because we have those) and talk to real people, because you will get trolled hard when you post a poll thread with nothing in the actual post in a general discussion forum, as you already know.
I’m going to mirror this. This thread is really fucking lazy. I realize that so much stuff is faceless and automated now adays, but good reporting shouldn’t be especially because your article is targeted for such a relatively small geographical area. This thread (which isn’t really necessary because there are tourney organizer threads for the Chicago area) shouldn’t exist. You should be getting off of your ass, going to more tournaments and getting interviews in person.
There are too many problems with e-reporting most of which are related to trolling.
