Spelling police here. OCD reigns supreme and typos jump off the page into my eyeballs. Not sure if you need someone like that...

By the way, in the Mortal Kombat: Armageddon on the Wii's unlockables in the line on Sareena's alternate costume, the second time the name Sareena appears it says "Sarenna".

On another site I contribute to, they gave me EDITING POWEEEEEERRRRS, which is a lot faster than making a list of typos for someone else to correct.

I can draw things and make custom levels and stuff.

Just drop me a line if you need anything, as I have no life.

That's exactly along the lines I was thinking! Also satirical essays, or thematic explorations of games, or critiques of certain aspects of games, et cet.

This would rule. Even better if we switched off between legitimate points & bickering like a married couple.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

that's definitely some of the stuff that I was thinking. In the few years I've been on this earth I've come across a lot of video game music, as well as a lot of pop music (as a general term for non-classical/instrumental, not like Britney Spears etc. stuff) that has been influenced by game music.

And I nominate SML posting moar for old married couple bickering with Ziggy.

These are some awesome ideas, and I'm really excited to see that we're all heading in the same general direction!

What we've been discussing (HotD, AI and myself) is that we want a big focus on the individual's perspective. The motto we want to aim for is, "It's not WHAT you write, it's what YOU write". While all contributors will be expected to fit into a video game theme and subject matter, we want to bring something unique and personal to the site. Anyone can write about Mario, but not everyone is you.

I can do ~~PUZZLES~~ some sort of art-ish thing. I wouldn't mind writing some reviews, either, but considering we have some English majors/authors willing to do that they may be better fit for the job.

I might be able to make up some fun lists of cool, obscure easter eggs in games. I also have an epic list of glitches from Majora's Mask and other such random stuff. So random game factoids I could be useful for. and stuff

**Loot** · 04-05-2011, 11:01 PM

Oh, this is about stuff to WRITE...

Well, I can make a mean Large Ham. But if you prefer, I can also make some Ham and Cheese.

I've already volunteered for code assistance, but I can also write occasional pieces as necessary.
