Go NeoGAF.

Andokuky said:I don't know him personally but I've read he's kind of a prick. Bitching about a $30,000+ a year salary makes me concur. Nice interview other than that. New name sucks.

Himuro said:How does that make someone a prick??
Meier said:Seriously, it's frequently been referred to as Neo-GAF for the past 2 years. It's not like you can't just keep calling it GAF or something.

I think it's funny to read someone bitching about making thousands a month to write about freakin videogames. I made a little over half of that last year and got along just fine.

Anyways, depending on where you live $30000 can be a very small salary indeed.

Granted, I do strategy guides, not magazine print media, but the same sort of deadlines and stresses are involved in either case.
To reiterate - not the faintest fucking clue

I guess that means I'll be checking the front page more often.WasabiKing said:The entire moderator and adminstration staff got together months ago to discuss the goal of NeoGAF. There are far too many sites out there that do reviews, so we kind of nixed that idea. So we decided to do something different. Also, remember that old interview request thread?

MC Safety said:As an example, it's almost impossible to find a studio apartment (let alone a one-bedroom) for less than $1,000.
MC Safety said:He was being diplomatic. He who slings mud oftentimes has it hurled back in his face.
As for the salary debate, writing and editing is hard work, regardless of the subject matter. Video game magazine and web site editors are often paid very little to do what they do with the idea being if they don't like it, they can get the hell out.
Most game magazines and Web sites are also located in San Francisco, which is one of the world's most expensive places to live. As an example, it's almost impossible to find a studio apartment (let alone a one-bedroom) for less than $1,000.

Just some thoughts: $35,000 is really nothing here in the SF Bay Area. Apartments can run up to $1200/month. So you're looking at $14,400 a year. Now, let's couple in food, utilities, and if you own a car, you get reamed by gas at $3 a gallon AND insurance. Again, I can't speak for everyone in San Francisco, but cost of living is atrocious, yet I can't see myself leaving.
Also, EviLore is the Editor-in-Chief, and we've got some interesting pieces lined up. I'm still only a marketing guy, so this was like, a special instance. I don't think I'll be writing a ton, this was just a fun discussion, if anything. Then again, I did say that I wouldn't get involved with moderating politics, lol.
Thanks for the kind words. We appreciate the feedback.
