Randon follow #97 - @Morgadeth

Some people have good jobs.  Fewer people have great jobs.  And fewer still have jobs that some of us just dream about and think - "I wish that was me".  Well @Morgadeth has exactly one of those jobs.  He is a game reviewer for NZGamer.com.

When boys are young they enjoy particular things.  When I was young our local Toyworld store had an archaic little video game machine that we paid 20 cents per game to play on. The times have certainly changed since then.  Gaming has gone 3D, stereo sound, extreme graphics and it is a big business.




And so many games are getting released across multiple platforms that it is hard to keep up with what is going on in the world.  And so cue the need and opportunity for clever people like @Morgadeth to come along and tell us what games are worth us investing our time and money on and which
one's aren't.  I have no idea what the pay is like but the privilege of playing the greatest games on earth before everyone else gets to would be enough for me to live on right there.

But "what does he tweet like?" I hear you say...  well lets take a look:

"Saw a trailer for Oblivion before GI Joe, it looked pretty cool."

"Hello twits, Wrestlemania was great this year"

"Played the Injustice demo using Wonder Woman, beat Doomsday easier than Lex Luthor... Also, why doesn't this game use the circle button?"

@Morgadeth is the sort if tweeter that makes my soul sing.  I am a semi-retired gamer and I still love the buzz of buying, installing or opening the wrapping of a new game and playing it for the first time.  The total thrill of a new experience can be a complete mind blowout.   How @Morgadeth manages to do his job AND still keep his feet on the ground is quite astounding.  I SALUTE YOU!



(And just to be clear what he tweets on this account is his own thoughts and opinions.  As all good twitter accounts should do.  And just for the record not all gamers are weird looking dudes who never sleep.  that is a stereotype that is false.)
