5 Things The Gaming Industry Will Never Fix, and I'm working on my first Cracked article.
NCHammer326 | 4:13 PM on 06.02.2009 1 comments


The article is called "5 Things The Gaming Industry Will Never Fix (And Why)" by David Wong and Highmore Skeats. The article is timed with the arrival of E3, and does an awesome job summing up why/how the industry is fucking up.

Article is here.

The Main Points:

5. Movie Tie-in Games
4. Blowing Shit Up
3. Cut Scenes
2. A.I.
1. Shovelware

Switching gears, I'm currently co-writing an article with David motherfucking Wong. In addition to writing the above article, Wong is the author of a book that's coming out this fall, and has written tons of awesome stuff for Cracked.

Back story: I've earned myself a reputation in the "Worst Webcomics" thread (in the "Mirth Canal" part of the Cracked/PWOT forums) for my expertise in finding the most atrocious webcomics. I originally tried pitching "X Worst Webcomics" but that got nowhere. Wong explained that people expect webcomics to be terrible, which makes sense.

However, Wong invited me to help him write an article involving webcomics, and get a cool $50 for doing so.

That's right. 50 bucks.


I'm going to make it rain.

I don't want to give too much away, but this is totally awesome. I never thought I would be able to get an article published, but now I finally am, and with one of my favorite writers.

I'll be sure to alert you guys when this article is all done.

I mostly don't care for Cracked's brand of "humor", but David Wong's a different story. He's a terrific writer and I love his articles on the site.

Congrats on your project with him, I hope it turns out well. :D
