Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
well I know when I'm not wanted...
I will be back one day, after an extensive tour of America's band camps.
Nice work!

Paragraph 2, sentence 4: it should say “disdain” instead of “distain”, and there shouldn’t be a “the” before “Saw or Hostel”
Paragraph 2, sentence 6: “first amendment” should be capitalized
Paragraph 4, sentence 2: I’d rephrase “about the industry as well as the current political climate as pertains to video games and common misconceptions about this form of entertainment” to something like “about the industry and the current political climate as they pertain to video games, as well as common misconceptions about this form of entertainment”.
Paragraph 6, sentence 4: if you’re talking about the introduction, it should say “foreword” instead of “forward”
Otherwise, though, that was a great read.
It doesn't feel like an essay, nor is it a pitched novel. But a solid direct message to anyone, or everyone who may have touched a controller, or its their first.
Let alone "entertainment" covers a myriad of levels. And games in particular cover a huge range of ideas, and defacto ideals into what those who believe they should be viewed as.
I have to say, this is something anyone, gamer or non-gamer alike should look through; with a fine toothed comb.
Well done Meagan, well done.
@Br0nxb0mBr: I NEED TO HAVE YOU PROOFREAD MY STUFF!! LOL. I had both my parents and my hubby read through every word before I put it online, and none of us caught those errors! You have a sharp eye!
Kudos!
Really is a cracking site design. I'm very impressed, as always.
