Wanted: writers for a new gaming website (covering both PC and consoles)

[UncleDynamite]

Earlier I had a thread specfically recruiting writers for a WoW fansite, but I had said thread deleted so I can another recruiting thread, just on a broader scale.

For the past month, I've been working with some friends on making a general gaming website with news about PC, GC, Xbox, and PS2 games. We're still pretty small, but the handful of writers and editors we do have are quite strong. We have several plans of expansion on the drawing boards, and we're looking for some more writers to help us out. If you're interested in getting published on our site, then please PM me and I'll get you some more information. If writing isn't your thing but you still want to get involved, that's fine too.

PSU members who have already joined include Spee and Derfud, and I believe Infernus will be joining soon. While I certainly don't want to pull any of you from your forum whoring here at PSU (though I doubt that I could even if I tried), it'd be great to have some more of you involved. You guys and gals have lots of talent, and I'm sure most of you wouldn't mind being published in some medium or another.

If you've read all that and want some more convincing, then try this:

:p Thanks guy, this will be my last post of this nature, I promise.

I'd volunteer for the forum whore / Mod if you need one. :D

Jaged, check your PM box.

[Zodiac]

[JetRaiden]

[Ivan]

I'm not much of a writer, coder, graphics type of person, but are they another positions?

[Jaged]

:lol: :rofl:

Yeah, same here.

[UncleDynamite]

Well Jet, if we even become a major gaming newsite like Gamespot, then we can start talking about cash.

Ivan: What other postions are you thinking of? Uber Forum Whore?

[Octavian]

I'll happily write PC articles for you.

[UncleDynamite]

PMs sent to Jaged, Zodiac, and Octavian.

In addition to our standard gaming, off-topic, entertainment, and debate forums, we also have a board for Photoshop Tutorials and signatures/avatars. Some of you might want to contribute to that, I don't know.

[Duffman]

im not a good writer but... meh

[QuakCow]

heh, i can write really short articles describing untactfully how i feel about games :P

[Spee]

I got accepted as an editorial writer, got put on the front page, and was put int he staff list without even trying <(o_O)>

[SDM]

Ooooh, Can I do a column, like a "Dear Abby"? I have so much wonderful life advice to give!

[JetRaiden]

to be honest Id be willing to be a writer for you. depends on what I do. cant exactly get exclusive info when we start out.

[Duffman]

like i said i cant write but i can do your warez section(jk) but i play almost every non MMO game out there, and most MMO games too.

[Ivan]

Ooooh, Can I do a column, like a "Dear Abby"? I have so much wonderful life advice to give!
YES! That would rock! Totally off or on topic "Dear Abby" type columns would rock. I'd even offer to do that too. Oh Oh just thought of this, SDM and I could do a debate type column where we are given a issue about some game or not and yell at each other about our opinions then at the end make up and have anal sex!

Well maybe not the last thing there. SDM and I could be the "Ebert & Roeper" of site... Hell that'd even be cool for PSU... hint hint Hamma. *wink wink nudge nudge* ;) :D

[Octavian]

PMs sent to Jaged, Zodiac, and Octavian.

Random Person: "Well, my problem is-"

SDM: "ANAL!"

Random Person: "Uh, I'm not finished. Anyway, my problem is that I've recently received a raise, and I want to buy a new TV. But my girlfriend would like to spend the money on a vaction, and I'm not sure what to do..."

SDM: "ANAL!"

Random Person: "Well, that's not really what I had in-"

SDM, and all of PSU: "DO HER IN THE BUTT THEN HAVE SECHS WITH YOUR TV!"

Actually, we don't have any PS2 writers right now. Yup, big problem.

Edit: Come to think of it, we don't have a PS2 editor either. Bigger problem.

[Corrosion]

I could write articles, PS2 or PC. (Any game on PC. Me = warez whore)

[Infernus]

tell us something new...

[UncleDynamite]

Corrosion, you aren't a warez whore. By now, you have become the living essence of Warezism. The sheer amount of dark warez energy you have channeled into yourself has consumed you and made you a true Pirate Diety. I would bow down to you, but I'm sitting down.



Oh, and you're hired, by the way.

Ditto. I could definatly be interested in helping out.
Im so-so with graphics, can do some work in webpage design.
How about a music review section? I find some un-heard of band, and review them.

lemme know.

[UncleDynamite]

I sent out a batch of PMs just now, so check your inboxes, peeps.

[eXoSloth]

If you're desperate for a graphics/coder guy pm me.

[Indecisive]

Let me know when(?) you get the site up, ill at least sign up in the forums and make fun of the new blood :p

[UncleDynamite]

Site's already up, FYI.

[Indecisive]

You know, I <3 green but thats a little redonkulous :p

[UncleDynamite]

You can change the color settings in your User Profile. There's a nice one called "Darkness" with a gray/black/red scheme.

[Indecisive]

Eh, its ok, it was just kind of a shocker at first.

OMGWTFGREEEEEEEEEEEN

btw, your host is slow.

[UncleDynamite]

I know, the host is doing some sort of update today. Runs fast normally, however.

Can you change the main site colors?

[Corrosion]

OGNOSE!!!
Service Unavailable - main site/forums

[UncleDynamite]

Looks like the server crashed under the strain of the PSU invasion :p

The colors of the main site cannot be changed. I'm going to suggest that they be changed to a dark, possibly gray scheme.

[eXoSloth]

linkz0r?

[JetRaiden]
