petemc · 21-11-2007, 19:52

Nicely done

Davey_Pitch · 21-11-2007, 20:02

Keep the updates coming please Jen, it'll be good to see how you're doing

Haly · 21-11-2007, 20:05

Ok, will do

And thanks both

I'm really excited again

I hope this buzz always happens

Haly · 28-11-2007, 11:51

I'm up again for Tabula Rasa

Currently the front page review but it'll probably move down later in the day: http://play.tm/story/14822

Longest review I've written yet at 1.7k, there was tons to write about the game and I could have easily written more. Only took me about an hour to write up, just seemed easier than previous games to write about.

On a side note, the About section of the site now has my name properly accredited rather than Jennifer Jea.

Next up is Fear Perseus Mandate.

Davey_Pitch · 28-11-2007, 13:55

I think I've done a review around 2.5k words, but I do have a tendency to perhaps go too in depth at times. Glad you're still enjoying it so far

Haly · 28-11-2007, 14:12

I tend to easily be able to write about 1.2k words then it depends on the game and how much there is to talk about. Does seem to be getting simpler to find things to discuss though.

Bit paranoid as I've not had an email yet to say another game's on the way

Although hard work, it's nice to know there's a steady stream

I was in the Tabula Rasa beta.

I'll have to have a read through your review when I get in from work.

Haly · 29-11-2007, 01:02

So, through a slight hint of cheekiness on both mine and their editor's part. Looks like I'll also soon be writing news pieces for http://thexboxdomain.net/

When I emailed play.tm a few weeks back, I also emailed the guys at thexboxdomain and got no response so I figured they weren't interested. Return to today, and I entered a competition on their site and left my blog address. 2 minutes later I got a comment from the editor of the site saying about how it's a pity I didn't email them about writing. Few email exchanges and I'm sorted.

Again, no pay etc. But I'm hoping that maybe with some hard work, it'll all develop into a nice looking CV and then possibly some potential for a 'proper' job in the future. I hope so otherwise I'll be hugely gutted as I really want to make a go of this. It's the one thing that really gives me a buzz.
