The reason why I don't post here more often...

...well, one of the reasons why I don't post here more often, is that usually when I get the urge to post, it's something like "Sweet Jesus, I wish I had more time to play the games I want to play, instead of the games I have to review."

Which is a stupid, unworthy complaint to make, because I'm being paid to review video games, which isn't something I should be complaining about.

You suprisingly often explain why you don't post here more, instead of using this time to write something different. You're a pretty little complainer, aren't you?
And yeah, reviewing games. Isn't it a dream job for every gamer? But I would be scared of losing the pleasure of playing games and making it a tiring and boring duty.
I wonder, why don't you make RPG settings for a living? You're amazing when it comes to role plays.

Tried it. Couldn't make the deadlines.

You have a point, incidentally, about me posting too often to explain why I don't post more often. Moratorium on that, then.

I knew it! Someday deadlines will destroy this world, I tell you. But then, don't you have any problems with deadlines for video games reviews?
But still, I'd rather see you as someone who creates, not only gives notes on other people's creations.

Deadlines for video game reviews are, well... it's easier to write 1,200 words than 12,000. Especially when I'm only paid about twice as much for the second as for the first. RPG writing is a hard way to make a living.

Well, hard for sure. I just thought that, maybe, more satisfying. In that, you know, special way. But I can be wrong. I haven't grown up from being a damned idealist yet, so.
If you're happy enough writing video games reviews, everything's fine. Do you have as much fun writing them as they look, or you're just that good?
