Oh hello, I didn't see you there.
 
The Luchazine is looking to bring on a few more people for the next & future issues, and here's the breakdown of what we want:
 
1 general new writer & 1 Nintendo centric writer
1-3 new scouts
1-5 new designers/artists
 
If you wish to apply, send a PM to myself and indian_boy as soon as possible. Naturally, include which position you are interested in. Make sure you include a writing sample if you're wish to write and/or sample pieces/portfolio for the artist/designer position. Scouts simply need to explain how often they are on the site as all they will be doing is pointing out cool stuff on the boards.
 
Again, get your submissions in as soon as possible because these positions are only open for the next few days.

I would love to contribute to Luchazine! When it comes to game writing I typically focus on reviews, but I'm able to produce features as well.

Absolutely no idea what to write. Keep in mind that I don't hold ANYTHING back in my blogs; I blog about it all. I could write about games as I play them, but that would seem pretty egotistical. Plus it's bound to fuck up the reviewing process.

Topic should really read: We need someone with a Wii that actually plays it. Haha.

I really wanted to take part in this whole thing but I wouldn't (or don't, I don't know) know what to write about. Also, I feel the same way Video_Game_King does in that I don't know how much time/effort I would honestly be able to devote to it (especially with college starting up in a week and all...).

As much fun as I think it would be to be able to do something for the magazine, I'm not good at putting my thoughts into an organized manner that people would want to read. I tried once with my blog about the Blur beta, but I'm pretty sure I did a pretty bad job. Good luck finding people.

Haven't ever done an editorial, I think, and the closest I've come to a preview was my Wii repair blog.

Hey, I play my Wii. It's just that I'm always broke and unable to buy new Wii games, which isn't helpful for reviews. 
 
Oh and the OP needs more of this:

@Meteora:  We don't re-hire people boss. Maybe in the distant future.
@RecSpec:  Shhhhhhhh.
 

To all of you that don't know what to write. I provide a bunch of suggestions every month, so if you're short on ideas, you have something to pick from.

For the sake of record keeping I should disclose that I sent in a writer's application a few minutes ago.

I can't help but feel like it would be awesome to be apart of the Luchazine, at the same time I can't help but feel like I would have almost nothing to bring to it at the moment either.  Maybe I'll just start trying to improve myself now for the future though.  Regardless, I will say - keep up the good work guys and to those thinking about applying - go for it, you never know.

Whatever you think would be interesting to the community. All you'd have to do is keep in mind that you aren't writing a blog, and write in a structure that's more review-like.

I would apply but for two reasons:
 

  1. I can't be ordered to write something as I simply can't write anything good unless I get into a state of mind to do so- and that does not happen very often.
  2. Something about applying to do this just rubs me the wrong way. I know it's stupid, but the idea of applying just makes me feel like I'm trying to be an attention whore. If I write something and they ask if they can include it I have no problem with, but like I said, something about going to them just rubs me the wrong way and I don't know why I think that way.

@crusader8463: Goran never orders people to write anything (as far as I know). All assignments are chosen by the people.

@natetodamax: I get that, but I was more referring to being on a dead line then being forced to write about a topic I didn't want to. Knowing that I had to write "something" by a certain date in time would just force my brain to shut down and refuse to function until an hour past what ever deadline I was given. Whenever I sit down and try to think of things to write about nothing ever comes to mind, but if I'm just sitting somewhere doing absolutely nothing I get a million ideas rushing into my head all at once. And of course I forget each and every one of them by the time I find a means to record the ideas so I can sit down and write about them later.

@GoranP: I would ask for my money back on that degree. =)  Actually what I'm saying is that when ever I'm put on the spot to do something, no matter how hard I work at trying to come up with an idea, nothing I come up with I ever feel is any good or worth writing about. Any article I have every written that I actually think was good always just popped into my head at random, and every time I have sat myself down to try to write about something it always just felt rather bland to me.
