Getting Yourself Tournament Ready

This Saturday I will be competing at East Coast Throwdown 5 in New Jersey. While preparing, I thought I should leave fellow gamers with a few tips to ready themselves for their next tournament.

I Now Write for “Put That Back”

This weekend I started writing for Put That Back. It is a video game website that I have been following for a few months. They were looking for some new writers so I hopped on.

I already have a few posts on there. This one in particular is a sneek peak on “Watch Dogs”. Make sure you check back for more!

I’m Competing Again!

I know. Long time since my last post. I was taking care of personal stuff. Still am. But I have some good news: I’m competing again!

Why I’m Never Buying the Daily News

This morning the Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza made it on the another front page of the New York Daily News. The paper’s featured article made sure to throw video games under the bus, and shows no shame in doing so.

The Damsel Device Gets Reversed

Over the past week or so I have heard a lot of about the long time plot device “the damsel in distress”. More specifically a literal moderation of said plot device. And fans are gobbling it up.

Got a Writing Gig on NerdSpan!

‘

Not much to say about this. I heard that a new site called NerdSpan was looking for people to review movies so I responded.

I will not be reviewing games for NerdSpan at this time, just movie. I can live with that. I like watching movies.

I have some reviews posted on there already for Tintin and Not Another Teen Movie. I hope to be able to review “Noobz” soon.

Make sure you check out http://www.nerdspan.com/author/royallance/for my upcoming reviews.
