You probably had your doubts that your fearless leader would return to the great X3F

I'm not gonna lie, I fell on some extremely hard times the past few months. Only now am I just getting up on my feet again. Life seriously got like, right in the way. I apologize for that, fellow gamers

But we're still here and we still look as good as ever! A new member, 2005sionon (?) don't shoot me I probably didn't get that right.

I'll tell you guys now: I don't plan on staying here forever. I have plans for X3F's future. I want to move to vBulletin or phpNuke, something along those lines. Won't be tomorrow, but sometime soon I promise.

I have tons of stuff to update and review and read and write and ...update, but not tonight. Will do very soon.

I missed you guys, hope yall still come around

Oh yeah....your that guy that created all this...I remember you

WELCOME BACK NATE!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back Nate! I haven't got to know you that well, but I guess there's some time!
It's Sion (prenounced Shaun). Anyways, I'm glad that you're back on your feet. I was wondering aswell, if you could tell me (when I'm older) what jobs you can find (and how to find) reviewing games. Because I'd love to do it either as a job in my spare time, or full time. It would just be cool to find out a bit about it from you guys Telling me where to look would be great aswell. ^_^ Thanks

Thank you guys for the welcome!

Its good to meet you, Shaun. Its good that you're still young. You have time to take the necessary school classes in order to become really good at game reviewing, if you're indeed serious about it as a possible career. My advice would be to plan on majoring in journalism in college. For school now, focus on English classes. Game reviewers that get paid to do this are basically journalists. The big time magazines and websites will look for an experienced journalist. Something else to do: read as many reviews as you can from your favorite review source. Take time to note how the writer structures the review into different sections. You can even practice writing your reviews here, in our Reviews forum. You may not get a game review job right away, but there are many different avenues to take as well to get there. Work in a game store once you get a couple years older. This will help you get to know new games, what people like, and you'll find out pros and cons for every game, and all systems.


Hope this helps.


Good to be back!!

That's great! I'm going to set myself a target from now on! Every game I get, write a review. First off, Rainbow Six Vegas I guess.

Great. You'll find every writer is different when writing reviews. Write enough quality reviews and, eventually, they'll be in pretty high demand. Good luck!

Welcome back, Nate! Glad to hear everything's getting back in order. I hate when life gets in the way of gaming... Come on!! Damn lifers... get a game!
