Game Journalist Meets the Marketing Team

It's time for another look into the increasingly deranged world of the game journalist. After meeting his girlfriend's mom and a brand new friend, it's time for our hero to tackle his biggest challenge yet: Meeting with the marketing team. Can he survive this trip to the shark tank? Find out now in the continuing Adventures in Game Journalism!

People often ask me what it's like to be a world-famous games journalist. They want to know firsthand what it's like to jet set around the world playing games, attending events and hanging out with celebrities. Unfortunately, it's nothing like that! Being a games journalist means you sit on your butt all day typing. In an attempt to show you what it's like to write about games, Defunct Games is proud to introduce a brand new comic series: The Adventures in Game Journalism! Now you will finally see what it's like to be an editor at Defunct Games!

It's been a wild few weeks for Game Journalist. In his first adventure he met up with a brand new friend. The next week he was forced to meet his girlfriend's mother. And if that wasn't enough, our hero took a disastrous game pitch. This week he's taking a meeting with his marketing team to boost hits to his site. I have a feeling this isn't going to end well.

Check back soon for the continuing Adventures of Game Journalist! Where will he go next? Maybe it's a game convention, press event or exclusive interview. Nah, it's more likely he'll go to the fridge to figure out what hasn't expired yet. No game journalists were hurt in the making of this comic. I think.
