My very first Destructoid article, a 570-word piece containing my impressions of the MLB 08 The Show demo, went up on February 22, 2008. It’s actually not as embarrassingly bad as I’d anticipated it would be.
This is a big personal milestone. Not just because of the amount of time involved, but because of what’s transpired in the interim — specifically, how much my life has changed since then, and how different I am today. You do a lot of growing up between the ages of 21 and 25.
Some things haven’t changed, of course; I’m still broke, and I’m still living at home. (OK… I guess, technically, I was dorming at Columbia four years ago.) But I don’t feel like a directionless kid anymore; writing about videogames is the career I want, and I hope I can really make that happen this year. (I better, because once December rolls around, I won’t be able to get health insurance as a dependent anymore!)
(No, seriously, does someone want to hire me and give me a salary + benefits? That’d be great. I write good about them sporty games.)
