DavidGoodman.Net

So, whoo, oops. Three months without an update. Yeah, it happens. Me, I was painting my flat, mainly. Anyway. After renewing for another couple of years, I’ve decided to make my site actually useful to me, beyond simply being a repository for stuff I wrote two years ago. Casting around for things I’m passionate enough to actually write regularly about, and perhaps maybe even want to write professionally on in a few years, I’ve come across the excellent Gamers With Jobs, which has great writing, a strong forum community and a brilliant weekly podcast. I’ve never done any serious critical/subject journalism before, short of a few CD reviews in my university newspaper, so this is a bit of a departure for me, but it’s something I’ve been nursing an ambition to do for a while, so I figured, hell, this is a good place to start.

So, starting today, DavidGoodman.Net will be featuring regular game reviews, longer feature articles and so on. Once I’ve written a decent portfolio of stuff it’ll be on to harassing Gamers With Jobs and other sites to let me write for them, and then, the WORLD. Muhahaha.

There will, of course, be writing on other topics, like things I’m doing (currently learning Norwegian and to play guitar, though not simultaneously), civil liberties, the odd techie thang and thoughts about writing (tending toward non-fiction article writing/freelancing as I explore my way around it).

So, seriously, stay tuned. Especially if you like games.
