Can we pretty please not have interviews that actually aren’t interviews? Sending somebody questions and waiting for answers isn’t an interview at all, and in my opinion it’s something that shouldn’t be counted as one in the blog.

I know- I just needed to prove my point that each individual doesn’t post extremely often.

By making a persuasive statement without giving the proper background information?

I’m kind of misc writer, actually, not guide writer. I’ll do interviews for now.

I have been really busy, but the summer just started. I might leave KCG, as I’m very busy, and haven’t posted like for 2 months or so, but I can’t give any confirmation on that.

We actually have conversations with them.

We don’t just send them a “form-like” interview for them to fill out. We have the conversation,
and then copy is all to notepad (Or another typing program). Then post it.

We have the interview as a real interview would be.

Which reminds me- how is this any different than a real interview?

If you were really interviewing somebody, then you would ask them continueous questions relating to that person, in person. Since we obviously can’t do this in person, we do it in chat.

Marh is trying to say that interviews should have both interviewer and interviewee present, not just sending someone a form to fill out, it’s not as fun and you lose most of the experience that you would have from actually being there.

I’ve actually watched many interviews happened before and it’s very fun to watch people answering the questions they are given. So it is definitely best to do in-chat.

I was saying that sending questions in was different than having a real interview. Not chat conversations, which seem perfectly fine to me.

I already explained why you need to make your interview in chat with somebody, not just by sending questions in. Please read my previous posts, for reference.

All interviews that I’ve taken (and from the personality profiles) were asked in chat.

Most questions were thought of as the time went by in chat with the interviewee.

I even told him to come to chat but he never came. Not my fault.

Okay, it’s done, emailed it to Ducklette. Due timezones, and being busy, it couldn’t be done live in the chat. Posting it to KCG soon.

I know you gave me a short list of games to review, Hokage, but I’m thinking it might just be beneficial for people to leave shouts on my profile of games they think I should check out and review for KCG. This is pure speculation, but I’m sure there’s more games I should be checking out….

Do you realize that the style requested was classic?

Classic means you talk to them through some sort of IM programs, and just have a casual conversation.

Duh, I know that. I still made it look like classic. I can change it to Personality, if you want. :P

Game Name: Straw Hat Samurai and SHIFT 4.

Type of Guide: Well, you know, as I always do, half guide and half review.

Badges: I’ll try to put a video walkthrough for each.

EDIT: They ahve been both done.

Total bumpage.

Oh, and I need to put up an article. What game should I review? No non-mainstream games immediately jump to mind. (I try to do recent games as much as possible)
