PixlBit

Oh, hello there! We're recording our all-Xbox One episode of NWP this evening. You can ask us anything of course, but I'd love to hear from some people who back the XBO. Were you psyched from the beginning? Did the recent backpedaling on the DRM and always on cause you to jump the fence? We want to hear from you!

Hello again, PixlBits!

Hello everyone!

Psych! You thought this was a blog about Insomniac Games, didn't you? Gotcha! So you may as well keep reading as long as you're here.

Hello all, I just wanted a quick word.

So, I find myself in a weird position now. See, I wrote reviews and features for a tiny website that got a decent amount of traffic but almost no feedback from readers. That was comfortable for me; I don’t do this because I want to be a famous games writer or even do this for a living. I mean, that would be great, but there are plenty of better writers than me that have been doing this professionally for far longer that can’t find work. And truth be told, the only difference between me as a staff writer and you as a reader is that I applied at PixlBit when they were looking for new writers and Nick liked my samples. Sheer tenacity and a willingness to review any and every game that comes my way have kept me here.

I have come to realize that I have a problem. A big problem. A problem that many of you reading this also have. I’m talking, of course, of the Pile of Shame. It’s something that I just have to deal with as a collector, but recently I’ve started to think that I need help with my personal backlog.

And at last we come to the end of my Future of Video Games blog series that comes from the past. If you have gotten this far I applaud you! You are now armed with the knowledge to partake in the next episode of PixlTalk, hosted by yours truly and the rest of the Tri-Force crew, Patrick and Rob.

And here we are at part four of my Future of Video Games blog series, written in 2011. You know the drill by now, because you’ve been reading these all week, right? RIGHT?? Anyway, this is going to tie in to the next Tri-Force hosted edition of PixlTalk, so read up and join in the discussion next episode!

This is part 3 of my Future of Video Games blog series that I wrote last year. I’m posting it at PixlBit to tie in with an upcoming episode of PixlTalk.
