I have to say, I’m not convinced of the productiveness of the Americans who didn’t want any of this and the Europeans who didn’t want any of this yelling at the other lot that it’s all their fault on the website for people who didn’t want any of this

i do not like living through historical events :(

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.
