Well, I figured it has more to do with discussing games, so here it goes:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nmeunier/a-how-to-guide-for-freelance-video-game-journalist
I thought it may be of interest to people. It's a book about how to write about video games (inb4 Yahtzee [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/9604-How-to-Become-a-Game-Journalist]), here is a summary
And if the goal is reached (900$ in ~30 hours to go at this time) the dude will write a second book [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nmeunier/a-how-to-guide-for-freelance-video-game-journalist/posts].

What's in the book?
My goal is to make Up Up Down Down Left WRITE as comprehensive as possible and pack it full of info that's useful both to newcomers looking to break into freelance game journalism and veterans who've already been at it for awhile. While there's a lot of great how-to info and advice in here, I also sprinkle my own quirky humor throughout the book to make it a fun read too. Some of the chapters are re-written and expanded versions of my original blog posts, but quite a bit of the book is comprised of completely new material.
