[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Well, not exactly. I'm currently doing first line tech support for IBM, which is a start, but not a "dream". However, I have also done a couple of reviews for PC Format. I did Lords of the Realm 3, which they must have hated, as 3 months later they made me review Myst IV. Obviously not the highest standard of games, so I assumed I would have to spend a while playing the dregs before getting anything good. So I was surprised when, during an email conversation with the editor about what information my invoices needed, he asked me if i was free to do a bit of freelance work that needed to be done quickly. I said I was interested, and asked what it was. He wants me to write a walkthrough. For a little book that'll come with the magazine. "Essentially", he said "we'd be paying you to play Half-Life 2". I paused. "Half-Life 2?", I said. "Yup. We need you to play through the game, and write a walkthrough. We'll give you the official one in case you get stuck. And a copy of the game, obviously." Again, I paused. "So this is going to be a proper walkthrough. To go in a book. That comes with the magazine. For Half-Life 2." "Yup." I mulled over it for a bit, and then accepted the offer. And then put the phone down. And then booked Monday off of work. And then passed out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
