    How would you feel if we sent in another review to add to our application? I wouldn't want to be over-looked just because my first review I sent in was weak. Practice makes greatness, right?

    That's the first time I've read that page on TA. ELI YOU'RE NOT EVEN A CO-FOUNDER? How did you climb your way to be the big man around here? Just joshing you of course. Spectacular job managing TA for the past few years. Truly.
    Definitely congrats to the new writer. Seen him around the forums now and then with pretty decent reviews. I was wondering why Brad or Blake reviewed such an old game, heheh, should have read the author more carefully. Excellent first review in any case.

    Hmm, the requirements are pretty minimal. It feels like I spend 10 hours daily on TA + my iPod. Actually, I think I probably do.

    I'll shoot out an application some time in the next two weeks. In the middle of 7 AP tests starting tomorrow. Hodapp are you still accepting reviewers for a full-time spot?

    First time I've been around this part of TA. Definitely some interesting stuff around here.

    I dont know why so many people keep asking if they are still looking for new staff. They are 'always' looking for writers :p

    Haha, I guess they are..doesn't really seem like it when there's just four guys posting articles on a day to day basis though. I've caught every article for the past two years, and there's rarely anyone posting anything besides Brad, Hodapp, Blake, and Jared. When there is a new writer, it's only because the four of them are extremely busy, like during the recent GDC. But...I'll take your word for it and assume that no one else competent has showed up. By no means am I saying there's anything wrong with the current writers. They're the best staff a site like this could have, truly.

    Are you still sending out emails? You could save some time and set up an auto reply letting people that send mail to the tips address know that it didn't get sent to the spam box. Unless you're sending out responses to each individual person, which would explain why I haven't gotten one yet, that'd take forever.
