A Friendly Little Reminder!
Alright boys and girls, I just wanted to give you all a reminder about the upcoming interviews I'm doing!
I got some great responses when I posted about it before, but if anyone else has some ideas for questions, comment here too!
In short, I'm interviewing the other writers here at GayGamer, and would like to know what you, the reader, want to know about our writing staff! I'll be doing the first interview this week, and publishing it next weekend, so there is still time to get your questions in! Serious questions only, please! I will not ask anything graphic, or seemingly uncouth. So let's get those questions rolling!

Name: Dave
I think pictures of the writers is a great idea! Associating a name with a face helps make news more...personal, I guess.
As for questions, I'm curious as to how the writers feel about the purpose of the site. A lot of my friends question the reason why GayGamer exists. I want to have a good response next time someone asks =P
I also think various personal stuff, like the info presented for every Gay Gamer of the week, would be interesting. It seems like everyone wants to know that stuff!
I'm also curious about the writer's interests beyond gaming. What else do they like?
personally, i think that a bio page for each person would help. with things such as Pics, a bit about who they are, what games they play and like. an approxomate location of the writers. that sort of thing would be nice
Who's they,
Where they from,
What's their taste in games,
What's their top 5 or 10 games of all time,
Their favorite character,
When did they start playing games for the first time and what,
What their dream game that may never come true,
When someone say "gaygamer" they say it's...,
Fill the gap in this sentence: "I would get married/get intimate with *name here* from *insert game here* without hesitations!"
And what's their type? hehe that last one's not important but we never know...
i am curious to know about any "coming out" experiences our writers have had while playing online multiplayer games ... whether or not they are visible as a gay gamer, belong to any gay clans etc. Also have they come across any haters or homophobes.
I would also like to know what kind of reactions they get when they tell people they write for a gay gaming site.
Do they manscape?
;-)
What's your most hated game cliche?
What quality do you look for in a game? Is it just "fun"? Innovation? Open-endedness? Along those lines, how do you think the game industry is doing as far as moving toward or away from what games should be?
I would like to know which has been their favourite boss battle, from any video game genre (puzzle, fighter, platform, etc) and favourite video game tune. Only one answer per question, not the tipical "I can't make up my mind so I'll choose my top 5"!
With the market broadening and the industry shrinking through mergers and acquisitions, which do you prefer: pie or cake?
I always wanted to know is Gaygamer a full-time job for Fruit, Tiny and the others? If they don't mind revealing, or if unable to give specific job, what line of work pays the bills?
Yeah, wish you guys had a bio page and pics.
I think you've got your work cut out for you with all the other comments here. :)
I'm kind of curious to know how accepted they are in the games industry, and if they are taken as seriously as any other member of the press.
If they are gay or not doesn't really matter, but the fact they write for a gay blog may give them a stigma.
I myself have kept the fact I am gay out of all game interactions because in the past if it cropped up, it did not end well. I myself have encountered a ton of homophobia at game forums and playing online. Thankfully though no one would know unless I said, "hey everybody! I'm gay!" which I don't do.
I also have read countless articles and remember a post over at Kotaku where they had an audio sample up of an experiment on homophobia on Xbox live, about how homophobic the industry is.
And speaking from a consumer point of view, I come across it all the time as I said.
So I'm wondering if it is the same in professional circles? Is it an issue? Have there been incidents? Or are you all treated with the same respect as everyone else.
