Subject: Lol, I applied to IGN for a review job.

OMGZZ!!!!!!

"It's Afghanistanimation!"

I know that loads of people here hate IGN with a passion. Yesterday I saw that they are in need of new staff to contribute to News, Reviews, etc I thought that I would take a shot at landing a contribution job to this site. Maybe sway some people into liking it since I am there?

My chances are pretty slim, since my College is in Applied Science and my reviews are not of the greatest of quality, but they certainly have gotten a good following. My resume is only going to show my manager title at a family business and my own site. Yeah, chances seem slim. But who knows, you guys think I have a shot at this?

Would you rather me just stick to being a lone reviewer that is not tainted by the media giants?

I support you, OP.

I support you either way, OP, just keep being true to your opinions.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

I don't see anything wrong with it, but I'm not sure you have the experience necessary.

However, do you wear glasses? If you do, send them a picture of you wearing glasses; that should, in theory, increase your chances exponentially.

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

You give them your website? Good luck!

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Well I'd say go for it, but it's nice having an honest reviewer here who I actually enjoy reading.

Nope, I have 20-20 vision. Need it for competitive shooting.

Yes, I support you in your venture to reshape IGN from the inside. I believe in you Brute!

  • 12.19.2012 2:06 PM PDT

Good luck good sir, I haven't really read your reviews, but I wish you well on your quest. As long as you stay mostly objective in your reviews and you don't accept money to write a fake review, then I hope you get it.

Well then, wear hipster glasses without lenses.

I'm an Indonesian Halo (and other games) gamer!
Bhineka Tunggal Ika!!

Even if your employer have bad reps, IMO the experience of just working there is worth it.

So yeah, good luck bro. I wish I could apply to international sites like that, but my English sucks donkey balls and I only have small knowledge on journalism

Make your own review OP and show them how it's done.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

If you had an electron microscope, you still couldn't find the -blam!- I don't give.

I approve, especially if you help turn them around.

You don't write well enough to be a professional. Not trying to offend there, I'm just being honest. Your reviews are insightful, but on a professional level writing also has to be technically able.

Say what you want about IGN's opinions, but they can write. I'm not saying that's it, but you have a lot of room for improvement before you can write to their standard.

"You are the last of your kind: bred for combat, built for war. You're the master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle, and fear no enemy"

Never heard of you.

And you would most likely write about what they want you too.
