Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Before I kick off this month’s Geek Games Column, I wanted to put a call out for people who may want to become a part of this column. I’m specifically looking for someone who can focus on compiling gaming news of the month and deliver that news with an intelligence far beyond my own, which shouldn’t be too hard.

I realize I’m not the brightest voice in the world of gaming. I’m passionate about gaming, but my main focus is still movies. I would love for there to be a news component to this column, though, and could use an informed voice to bring it to life.

If you think you can be that voice, drop me an email here (quint@aintitcool.com) with your info and some writing samples. The only pay I can offer are e-hugs and throngs of admiring talkbackers ready to nitpick and tear apart every single word you type, but if you’re interested drop me a line.
So, anyone think they're up for the job? No idea if or how much it pays (probably nothing more than fame) but it might be a way to build up a resume for someone who's already doing this sort of thing.

But, if you're a gamer who's usually on top of things and can provide cogent and well written reviews then this may be a good side project for you.

I've already got one of those non-paying gigs - I don't need another! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521571/5518540.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521571/5518540.page GMT AICN Wants Gamer News Guy

I have no idea what the terms will be or what. It's a monthly contribution so it possibly would be paid by the word which won't really be a heck of a lot of money to be honest. Writing really isn't going to make you rich (or even provide a comfortable income) unless you somehow deliver the next Harry Potter to people.

As Alpharius pointed out, we know its unpaid, I'm interested in whether the guy asking someone to take on unpaid work is making money from the website. If so, asking people to give you their labour for free so you can make money from it is indefensible; a day's work deserves a day's pay.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521571/5519083.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521571/5519083.page GMT AICN Wants Gamer News Guy

Worth the read to learn about the rise and fall, and rise of AICN.

Short answer - yes the site makes money and some writers are (eventually) paid.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521571/5519179.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521571/5519179.page GMT
