Interview 1 - Reflection

What is the most important thing you learned from your interview and why?

The most important thing I learned from my interview that the main aspect of video game journalism ISN'T the video games, it's actually the writing. According to Mr. Destructoid (Yanier Gonzalez), the best thing to do to become a better "Games Journo" was to literally sit at a desk for eight to ten hours writing. He says it builds proper grammar as well as techniques that will keep your reader's attention. The last thing he said along these lines is to make sure you know what you're doing, and not just playing the games. The main drive behind all "Games Journos" is the vocation that the writers make to write a proper review so people know what they spend their money on.
