I'm Now An Official Games Journalist!

I welcome the world of late-night announcements and free video games with open arms!


In this article I took a straightforward approach with the knowledge that was present; have a snazzy intro paragraph, report the information that I had, talk about a personal experience relating to the news, and throw in a joke or two. I think it worked out really well, even if it took 45 minutes to write.


...And this is the article where I stopped giving damns. It's basically one big joke/rag post on Call Of Duty and BLOPS 2, with an almost 100% serious paragraph that failed to be that. Now, I do want to get something out of the way; I don't hate Activision or Treyarch or Infinity Ward (although Activision does need to be slapped every now-and-then), it's just that Call Of Duty is such an easy target that I HAVE to go for it. Think of it like a nerdy stand-up comedian and the mention of Twilight fans; the comedian just HAS to make fun of the ridiculous culture surrounding the poorly-written books.
