I'll be updating my portfolio as I go, as well as creating more videos on YouTube and social media. Even if you just want to see a guy spout nonsense about games, come say hello.

Of course! And, more importantly, a fellow member of the Quaid Army.

I'll be going back to freelance for the foreseeable future, so if we ever worked together pre-2022, I may be reaching out soon! And if you've ever enjoyed my work, you can reach me about potential opportunities at andrewckingwriter@gmail.com.

Thanks so much, Ally! I've always been impressed by how talented you are at features writing!

Outside of journalism, my pilot script, Bug Boys, was a Second Rounder at the Austin Film Festival, and my short film, Anthill, was a semifinalist for Best Horror Short at the San Francisco Art House Short Festival and an Official Selection of the Shortcut 100 IFF.

That said, journalism has been increasingly unstable since I started and I would be eager to try something new in video games PR or consulting! Or copywriting/copy editing in the games industry, or out.

It's a bummer (but honestly kind of a relief). Will miss working with you!

I've worked in journalism and criticism for nine years, first as a local news and sports reporter and, since 2018, covering the games industry. Prior to getting hired as Features Editor at TheGamer, I did freelance work for GameSpot, Polygon, IGN, and PC Gamer.

Thanks so much, Rhi!

Same, James! I'll keep following your excellent Half-Life coverage until the end of time or until 3 is released, whichever comes first.

Yeah, I loved the demo, too!

Yeah, I’m glad I got to review it because otherwise I would be in the same situation!

Took me about 35 hours!
