Scene experts needed! GBAtemp is hiring

I was gonna ask why that is the main focus, but then I'm reminded this website is called GBAtemp. Nintendo fa bias welcome.

On a serious note, could there be a new role for people who post reviews?

 

I had no idea what that role meant, i just assumed it was something unspecified, like a money donation or some kind of secret inside tip, or free gift offerings. Is not like it couldn't be renamed to "Reviewer"

 

I´m surprised, news reporter get paid for their work. I thought you guys and gals were doing this for fame and honor! lol

 

It's contributor as in 'contributes to the website'. We also write news posts though, so reviewer wouldn't be quite accurate, not to mention that Reporters also post reviews.

 

Honestly I don't really know much about what goes into rankings or title of roles, just was trying to find a name that is more precise without second thought. Contributor isn't a bad word by any means but is not also defining much. Maybe adding just another word to help like "News contributor" would be more obvious, no one would have to ask which means no need to explain.

Though I mean maybe trying to fit so many letters into one box wouldn't be good to read, so I guess less is more.

 

I'm interested. I've been a fan of GBATemp since the Wii hacking scene started (RIP Tehskeen, Brakken, and Bushing). I really don't have any good writing experience, that I would have to work on. But that being said, the first console I ever modded was the original Xbox, and since then I've modded my Wii, PSP, New 3DS (first with menuhax, then A9LH, then B9S), Wii U, and Switch. I also have a few DS flashcarts, a 64drive, and installed a GBA-TV Converter on my gameboy advance. I've tinkered a little with writing homebrew, I ported one of my assignments in college to the Wii once for extra credit, but I haven't actually made any public code contributions. But I would say I very closely monitor the console hacking scene.

While I don't make many posts here, if you look at my history here I do spend a lot of time reading posts and trying to help out n00bs. I would love the opportunity to contribute more.

 

MrHomebrew should be considered for sure

 

Sounds interesting, but I doubt I'll have the time to devote to it.

 

I am unable to send a PM. I will have time to do it alongside my YT channel "nickmoses05". I already report a lot of GBATemp stuff there but would love to do it here also.

 

Nice, y'all gettin' serious about posting scene news. Good luck to any applicants and hopefully the front page becomes a much cooler place soon!

 

I'd love to apply for the position but my command of English language is rather poor
The will is there though

 

"3DS and Switch"

" 3 D S a n d S w i t c h . . . "


All I have is a DSi, Wii and Wii U... :/

 

Used 2ds costs around 60$ and normally comes with a game.

 

On a related note, could we please be allowed to put staff members in our ignore lists in case we wish to hide all content of those staff members from the frontpage and forums?

 

My parents still wont ever allow me to do that, unless I buy a New 2DS for my birthday soon, and when get a used one for $45 off eBay.
That would take me...
8 months. Oof.
