Yay!
Sadly, though, I could never be a journalist. I'm not the most articulate person in the world and having to make deadlines... and just everything. Not for me.

I know I'm awesome, but it's always nice for someone to re-assure of my awesomeness.
I'm really happy you got a job doing what you love, go out and punch journalism in the face man!

Congrats!!... though would it be impolite to ask if this is a paid gig?? So many journalism jobs in the industry seem to initially be unpaid but with the usual perks of free games and access to conventions through a "journalist" pass. :(
@SeymourDuncan17 - Yeah, many people have misconceptions of gaming journalism and believe that its all about just playing games all day. In reality I'm sure it can be hard work just like any other job. That said, its definitely work I'm willing to do and what I enjoy. Thanks for commenting!
@PK493 and @randombullseye - Thanks guys! I sure will. :)
@Arttemis - Hither thither thine... thou? Thank you!
@Elsa - It is indeed! I'm extremely lucky to have got a paid job already without having to go through the voluntary route. It's $4 per article and 3-4 articles minimum a day, which is pretty good compared to other job listings I've seen. Still a "part-time" rate as I say, but I hope to perhaps also take on other work if my luck and persistence continues. I'd very much like to also be a reviewer or a features writer some day. Despite whether or not you'd actually take a similar job yourself, I really think you (and many others here and around the site) definitely have the potential to be a journalist too if you wanted - and a far better one than myself at that! From reading all of the amazing stuff here, there's writers here that definitely deserve even more recognition. :)

Yeah... that is indeed pretty good! Nice! So many of these jobs are "work for free" and while it may get people more established as writers, the sites are often small and I don't really know how much of a career boost those types of positions are.
This opportunity sounds really good! If they're paying, then the site is also much more likely to be well established and well run!
Best of luck to you... though I admit I'm glad that you'll also still hang out with us peasants now and again! :)

Just a clarification: when I said "it is indeed!", I was referring to it being a paid job, not at you being "impolite", haha. You could never be impolite my dear.
You are the best damn peasants I know! ;) I'm definitely here to stay, this website means too much to me. How else would I copy/paste your blogs as my own for money?

LOL! You're so funny and sweet!
... being a journalist isn't all about the writing... it's also about personality, and you do have that in droves! :)

As a fellow blogger who would love to one day enter the gaming journalism field, this is an inspirational post and makes me glad that I decided to stick with Destructoid as well. Congratulations and keep pressing forward. Looking forward to keeping up with your new posts as well.
@Phil - You keep that crazy going sir! Don't stop just because "the Man" tells us we can't sabotage fellow human lives.
@Scissors, @akathatoneguy and @JackD - Thank you very much! :)
@CheapBossAttacks - You definitely made the right choice coming here! I thank you and similarly wish you all the very best to yourself. :)
