The Core keeps on giving!

    Thrik gave me the chance to write articles for the Core. When those didn't pick up, a minority of you demanded more. The new batch did significantly better and managed to gather quite a crowd outside of the Core as well. Doors opened and the response from this community was very encouraging. Because of these new possibilities I got the opportunity to interview very talented individuals which I will continue to do so in the future.


    My writing got better (I hope) and my confidence grew all due to the power of the Core. That's why I applied for a freelance job at the biggest game magazine (yes Dux, those still exist) of the Benelux. I just got the reply and I want to share two quotes:


    Quote

    "This is one of the best reviews we received" and "We also read your Call of Duty Effect article. It had good points and structure. These two combined show us great potential".


    There's no job yet but reading this is already a huge compliment. All thanks to you guys. So in short:

    Feeling the love guys, appreciated!


    Would love to get hired but it's not really about that (It would be a part time thing). For me it means studio visits, press conferences and game shows (with a press card). Things I would love to do.


    Nah, it's about the Core giving me the chance, the community helping me improve and being considered by a well respected magazine. This is praise enough for me

    Appreciated dude. Not sure what I can say or what would be wise. I'll give you an hint. They are your countryman and they've been around since 97 I think. Also, they used to be PC only but they changed that a while back. Can't miss it dude

    I was hoping it would be this mag, looking forward to reading your stuff. Oh, and you HAVE to sneak in hurg somehow.

    First we had the people making the games. Now we're also having the ones who review them. The Core is becoming all vertically integrated and shit. I like it.

    Come on guys! I appreciated the love and enthusiasm but keep in mind, I don't have the job. I only applied and they see potential in me. I made this post to show my appreciation for the Core getting me so far. Might be I can get the job at some point but I'm definitively not there yet. It sure is cool that everybody just assumes I get it though


    So just a little disclaimer guys.

    If I get the job you'll be sure as hell that I will grab every chance to reference the HURG, the Core and find you guys on press trips!
