Interview 1

1) Whom did you choose to interview?
I'm choosing to interview Mr. Destructoid himself, Yanier Gonzalez (Niero).

2) Why did you choose this person?
I chose to interview him because he is the webmaster/founder of a website that does reviews on games professionally as well as a forum where freelancers can post their own stuff. And this website pertains to my senior project of Video Game Journalism.

3) We've given you your first five questions. What else will you ask?
Alongside the first five questions, I'm going to ask him:
  • I've read a lot of blogs stating that Video Game Journalism is now lacking the creativity and originality. What do you think?
  •  I've been reading a lot and in every article I've read, they've mentioned something called New Games Journalism. What exactly is this and how does it differ from the current Video Games Journalism?
and anything I could possibly think of regarding my topic.
