When I first got into this fiasco we all call 'game journalism', I did it for fun and for my love of video games. Somewhere along the line, I lost my way. After spending a decent amount of time as a freelance gaming blogger, I was swept off my feet by a major gaming site with a decent paycheck and some perks to go along with it. At the time, I needed the money and it seemed like a really good deal.

I was hired primarily for my abilities in marketing and writing became a secondary priority. Although the experience working for a major media company was a great one, I realized that I was not happy with what I was doing. The mountains of restrictions in addition to other aspects of the job finally pushed me to toss them my resignation.

The site was more on the ‘family friendly’ side and as a result, there were mountains of restrictions to go along with the writing. I never lied in an article, because I certainly have a strong personal code of ethics, but I certainly held back my personal opinions from most pieces due to the restrictions.

I’ve been a reader of Destructoid for some time, but never posted a blog on the site due to my contractual agreement with my employer. Fortunately, now I’m free to write about anything at any time. Hopefully, you guys will be seeing a lot of content from me in the near future.
