I would like to apply as a review writer for a couple different reasons:

1. It will give me even more of a reason to be active here on the site aside from simply doing streams.
2. I've already made a handful of reviews since I began, 2-3 of which have been approved by staff and used as the 
corresponding games main review on it's Retro Game Room profile.
3. I'd love a chance to work closer with the staff, even if I'm not officially one myself. If that means the interactions are
as they were before- moderators critiquing my review- I'd still be happy.

I have plenty of reviews already that can be viewed from my profile. And I'd have no problem doing 2-4 or more reviews a month on the site
as I have just started doing competitions on my streaming page when doing Vizzed-based games in which I will donate the amount of points necessary to get the system item for the game I happen to be playing to one lucky follower of my Twitch channel. 

I'm also up for doing reviews on titles not hosted/emulated by Vizzed and the RGR Plugin as well, not just the ones here on the site. Steam, XBox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, 2DS/3DS, Wii, Gamecube, and more.

Qualities, Abilities, and Experience:
-Clear and precise writing
-Large vocabulary, and a great understanding of said vocabulary
-Experience as well as connections with game development
-Experience with journalism (I have no proof of this unfortunately, so ignore this as you see fit)
-The ability to dig under or see through the dirt to find any gems that may not easily be seen without the work put in.

A List of My Best Reviews:
Super Mario Sunshine: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=85615
Super Mario 64 - HD: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=85584
Metal Gear Solid: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=86217

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=87368

I'm able to begin immediately, and will happily write my first review as on official Reviewer before I even reply to say "thank you for the postion"- assuming I'm chosen.

Thank you kindly!

Davideo7 : I have complied with ze money, mon capitan. I'd also like to point out that I advertise Vizzed rather heavily, if that would help with my partner ranking. I have a button for the site, and a vizzed logo I had made (to fit with the theme of my other buttons) is displayed in the actual stream itself now when I am playing a vizzed-based game. And, likewise, I stop every hour/hour-and-a-half to read a script I had written up about visiting vizzed.

Just in case I might be able to attain Silver status, whereas before I was Bronze despite my heavy advertisement as well. Either way is fine, of course, and rank me as you see fit, but consider this my request for Silver at least.

Might I be added back as a streamer? Like the previous poster, I too have been having issues, but I was able to stream today before realizing I missed that "month" mark by 2 days. I'll be getting back on my Wednesday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday schedule again here soon.

Just got to make a list of games to play, and adhere to it strictly. I'm pleased with my nearly 50 viewer count, and I absolutely love advertising for Vizzed when and wherever I get the chance!

Satanic meat packing facility.

(surely I've posted this in the right place? If not point me in the right direction)

STARTING POST:

One day, a young

A little game I came up with (probably not originally, but I had never heard nor played it before I thought of it) that I used to love playing on the RoosterTeeth Community forums. The rules are very simple, and likely very familiar to anyone with any knowledge of improv comedy whatsoever.

I will start by saying FOUR WORDS. Every post after this will be limited to FOUR WORDS, no MORE, no LESS (unless you talk in brackets or parenthesis. Every post has to have the four words though to stay on topic). You will continue from the previous four word post in some coherent manner, but you can take it in literally any direction you want, but let's TRY and keep this PG13.

Anyone can end a sentence. You can even end a sentence and still have words left. If your post does actually end with a period, the next person gets to start a sentence. LET'S GO! Check example below.

EX: (no one mentioned actually said any of this)
SikSikSikki says:
There Once Was A

LunarDarkness2 says:

Galacta says:

SikSikSikki says:

Eriitan says:
wouldn't leave without it.

I'm just going to assume that everyone who has and will say "Five Night's At Freddy's couldn't make a movie" are basing this solely on the gameplay mechanics and are completely ignoring the fact that FNaF actually has a really good albeit really obscure story line that's told through subtext and easy-to-miss background information.

Of course, even I'm on the fence about it still since most video-game-turned-movies don't end well (Resident Evil being my prime example), but I'm going to hold out until I see a final product. Just because something seems like it will be bad, doesn't always mean it will be. I remember everyone saying you couldn't make a good Lego movie, and look at how that turned out.

An issue I'm seeing here (or maybe not an issue, depending on how you look at it) is that love or hate the franchise, you've got to admit that FNaF is really somewhat of a fad. It came out of nowhere, became wildly popular PRACTICALLY overnight and spawned three games over the course of like half a year. A movie, especially with Warner Bros. backing the project, isn't going to simply take a few months. My theory is that the love and hype over FNaF is going to die down before the movie get's to see the light of day.

But, there is one rather simple solution: Make more games.

janus : Hmm... the red squiggles must have lied to me. I'll be sure to put on my eagle eyes next time I proof-read. Thanks for the feedback!

gamerforlifeforever2 : I couldn't do a Metal Gear related post without titling it after my favorite line from the original But I digress, I could've chose something better... I reallly need to stop writing these at 3 in the morning. Thanks for the feature!

Metal Gear Solid, for many gamer's, defined the stealth genre. Picking up from it's immediate predecessors in Metal Gear
and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid had players sneaking around and avoiding fights that would lead to 
bigger problems like you were the leader of the Chess Club in High School again. The story, while somewhat confusing in
parts, is much larger than in-game events and sets the stage beautifully for Kojima's later sequels in Sons of Liberty and
Guns of the Patriots. Combined with Hideo's love of intricately small and sometimes absurd details helps craft a game that
will forever live in infamy.

GRAPHICS
Stepping into the hay-day era of Sony's Playstation in 1998, Metal Gear Solid was a masterpiece in graphics during it's time,
despite the consoles issues in rendering. The 3d environments the player will explore whilst traversing the famous Shadow
Moses Island are sure to leave a lasting impression. Even with the central theme, naturally, being a rather unassuming
military base there are still many locations that have etched themselves into my mind and many gamer's alike.

The character models might be a little lacking, sure, but the codec calls can clear up the confusion on a couple characters
at least. And when two characters are meant to look alike for reasons that shall go unnamed for the sake of the uninitiated,
they really do look alike.

SOUND
The music and sound effects in the game are rather standard, and generally what you'd expect from an action game. The 
music and ambiance, for the most part, are where the game truly shines. With such memorable tracks as "Encounter" and
the ending theme "The Best Has Yet To Come", the player will be on their toes from start to finish. If the music that assaults 
you when the legendary "!" appears above an enemies head isn't enough to get your blood pumping, you may have a problem.

ADDICTIVENESS
While the game is rather straighforward- for the most part- I couldn't really find myself playing this game more than 2-3 times, 
personally. Especially after playing some of the later games in the series such as Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which I could
play over and over again in one sitting if it wasn't hazardous to my health. Regardless, for the player that does find this game a holy
grail there are many things to keep the player playing even after the credits roll.

Secret passages, easter eggs, and minor changes can appear to players who become a little more wise once the game is finished-
whether it's the color of the Cyborg Ninja, or the fact that you can have a wolf puppy piss on you for an easy walk through the cave
system (just to name a FEW), Kojima will have you guessing every time you click play.

STORY
My... My god. Where do I even begin? The story, as with every video game with "Hideo Kojima" listed anywhere in sight, is simply
astounding. It's full of twists and turns, and will LIKELY leave you asking more questions than it answered- and you'll love it. A lot 
of gamers, myself included, found this to be one of the most interesting parts of the Metal Gear Solid series once you look past the
game play mechanics and enigmatic ludicrous situations.

Taking place after the events of Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land chronicled in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the
MSX2 and NES systems, Metal Gear Solid puts players once again in the shoes of the ever-badass Solid Snake. His mission? To
find out what exactly is going on behind the scenes of a terrorist takeover of the Nuclear Disposal Facility on Shadow Moses Island
off the coast of Alaska. Snake soon finds out that nothing can be quite that simple, as he learns of the possible existence of yet another
Metal Gear.

DEPTH
The game isn't generally something you'll sit down and take it in just one or two sessions. This isn't your run-of-the-mill shooter storyline
where you really don't care about what's going on, as long as you can play online after you've got the controls down. After sitting down and
playing this game after so long it took me about 8 hours simply to get through HALF the game, and it's even arguable as to whether halfway
through the game is even where I am.

DIFFICULTY
Coming back to this classic PSX game after being spoiled by such modern luxuries as 2 control sticks can be hard. The controls feel a little
strange, and the aiming can be a nightmare which will generally work in the games favor of challenging the player to play the game as if
you were actually trying to be a spy. The lack of a tutorial (unless I simply missed them, which would be just plain silly) for certain IMPORTANT actions can also leave the player confused on certain mechanics until they experiment with them their selves. (Pro tip: Square grabs bad guys, repeatedly pressing square with someone grabbed will break their necks). However, like many games from the playstation days, the wonky controls can sometimes lead to a much more memorable game.

An example that's light on spoilers would be a fight with a certain revolver slinging bad guy. You had to be careful due to hazards in the room and aim your shots accordingly, and pay attention to your surroundings. However, in an attempt to FIX these awkward shooting scenarios, the remake- Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes- allowed for shooting in first person, which made the iconic boss fight almost laughably easy.

OVERALL
If you're a player looking to relive the game that truly brought Metal Gear to the next generation, wanting to play a decent stealth game,
or just someone with an itch for a long and well written story, look no further than Metal Gear Solid. It can be frustrating- in fact, certain parts
are DEFINITELY going to frustrate the ever-loving hell out of you- but once you see the credits rolling and  you hear The Best Has Yet To Come playing through your headphones/earphones/speakers, you'll be left with a feeling of satisfaction that you aren't likely to find in any other game. That's a promise.

Congratulations on the milestone. Wonder if/when I'll ever get that far- Probably not at all, since i'm not really a forum kind of guy, but oh well.

Davideo7 : I likewise would like to request Silver status as I have added you as a moderator in my chat and would be very willing to advertise on stream. I'll treat it like a legit sponsorship and make a little script to read every hour or so that I stream.

I appreciate you adding me at all, regardless! And if I need to send more Viz for the upgrade, just say so~

EDIT:
I did my first RGR stream today with Super Mario 64: Star Road, and I went for an hour and a half. When I returned to the site I got the notifications for it, but it says I earned 0 cp and 0 Viz in 3 entries.

Kruzer : Yeah, I won't lie I was trying not to fall asleep face first on my keyboard when I was writing this which was a very bad idea. I do my best to write my reviews as if trying to describing it to someone who has never played the game (which is how all reviews should be done, of course). I generally have the OVERALL section at the bottom now that I've gotten into the  swing of writing reviews here, but I was just too bushed to continue so I wasn't able to give it the attention it deserved.

   I've always been a Rooster Teeth fan, ever since the end of the 5th season for Red Vs Blue. In fact, I don't think it would be entirely unfair to say I'm kind of obsessed- I listen to 2 of the 3 podcasts they release a week, watch all of their live action short videos, and otherwise dream of going to their personal convention RTX at some point when I get the money to make my way down to Texas.

   On the subject of RWBY, however, I'm sad to say I haven't given it the attention it deserves. I followed it for about the first 5 episodes and I wasn't too impressed by some of the minor oddities in the animation that I felt would have been relatively easy to fix (mainly, the fact that a lot of the characters animations would turn to stone at the end of an animation, generally before a camera would switch scenes, as opposed to being somewhat fluid into the next scene). However, I had always been a big fan of Monty Oum's work in Red Vs Blue as well as prior to it with Haloid and Dead Fantasy.

   Now that Monty Oum has died, I've been planning to sit down and watch the series again out of respect for an amazingly talented individual, and once a certain project I've been working on reaches fruition I'll be dedicating it to his memory as Burnie Burns stated that what Monty would have wanted is for people to get out there and be creative and do what they dream of.

Eirinn : I absolutely will! I'm afraid I was a really tired when I wrote the other one I did last night for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which I think may have affected it a liiittle too much.

   The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Still to this day, no other game has been talked about as if it were, in fact, a real legend nearly as much as this Nintendo 64 classic. Marking the series' first foray into the realm of the third dimension, Ocarina of Time will take you on a journey just as it's predecessors have that will leave you breathless- Whether breathless means awe-inspired, or simply frustrated at a specific task is entirely up to you to decide.

   The game which released in 1998 features more updates than it's sleek new polygonal upgrade; From a newly implemented z-targeting system to mounted horse combat, OoT made for a gaming experience that felt wholesome and ground breaking even in an era in which the ground was constantly being broken by new technology already.

GRAPHICS
   As previously mentioned, Ocarina marks Legend of Zelda's first adventure in the three dimensional space, and as such the graphic quality was of course far superior to any previous entry in the franchise. For the first time, everyone was able to experience the green-clad Champion of Hyrule in a way that would make many almost uncomfortable in how real it seemed. However, when you take a step back and look at many of the games that came out around the time- well, nothing changes. The game was still beautiful and was surprisingly not held back in visual quality despite it's immense size.

   The art assets used combined with the level design implemented mixed together perfectly well and made for a great adventure for pro gamers of the time as well as new blood to the scene. No hand holding was entirely necessary, as long as you looked for obvious visual queues in the environment such as a wall with vines that just FEELS like you were able to climb it like a ladder to get to that ledge that holds the door to the next room or that chest with a shiny new item.

   The only real nitpick one might have for the graphics in the game is that in certain areas (Castle Town and almost every small Interior) the game switches to use pre-rendered backdrops, which can be jarring when you switch from the depth that the world models and terrain offer. However, this is very easy to overlook since it was somewhat of a trend around the time the game came out, and made room for more art assets that make the game even more beautiful.

ADDICTIVENESS
   The addictiveness in the game can be disputed. It all really depends on what kind of gamer you are at heart. A player who likes to have a reason to explore the world for more than just the exploration itself will find themselves pleased with the many collectible items scattered throughout the game in the form of Gold Skulltulas, heart containers, bottles, and a few other things.

   Some players, especially newer ones, might find themselves the trek from the Kokiri Woods to the final showdown at Ganon's castle quite daunting, especially with the difficulty present randomly in certain areas of the game. But, if you're here for story, lore, and adventure then you're in luck as this game will definitely eat up hours of your time as trek through the game's many dungeons and locales. 

STORY
   The story, as one might expect in a Zelda title, is where this game truly shines. It starts out nice and cozy, and somewhat familiar to some younger gamers, as link is awoken by a fairy sent by the Kokiri's gaurdian- the Great Deku Tree- to summon him to a meeting. As the player makes his way to the ancient pillar of the world they find themselves talking to their best friend and coming face to face with the local bully. Soon, things take a dark turn as you're forced to save the life of the very entity which was supposed to have been protecting you and every other child of the forest which would understandably be a very hard pill for someone of such a young age to swallow.

   And just like that you're out in the world and on your own, young and vulnerable. You have to make decisions for yourself on where to go, though you've been given good directions on where to start at least. Soon enough, you're thrust into a rich story familiar to many as you are tasked in saving the damsel who holds a key that a great evil requires in order to fulfill his wish of ruling over not just Hyrule but the rest of the world as well.

DEPTH
   This game is long. There really is no other way to go about it- It's going to eat up your free time like it was dots in front of Pac-man. Whether or not that is a good thing... Well, that's up to you. There are multiple ways to go about beating this game, and it supports a multitude of play-styles and warrants multiple play-through's to really get every little juicy detail out of the way. Simply going through the game is one adventure, but trying to find all the game's secrets is almost an entire game in it's own.

DIFFICULTY
   Just like the addictiveness, the difficulty of this game can be debated. While the game does throw a lot of curve-balls at you, the main point of frustration tends to lie on the game's highly advertised Z-targeting system and camera controls. It's a nice change of pace to be able to lock on to enemies, especially those that fly around like Keese, but when an enemy moves around sporadically it has the tendency to jolt the camera around making it likewise hard for the player themselves to move around and avoid any would-be environmental hazards such as a small pit of lava during Volvagia's boss-fight, or an edge leading to a pit during a fight with a Stalfos.
