Yup! Nearly all of the guest writers we're bringing on will be sticking around and appearing at least once every month or two. For some, they'll write on disparate (or at least, distinct) topics, but for others, they'll be able to slowly build an increasingly detailed or nuanced argument. This is part of the great thing about the Giant Bomb community: We really are a community, and it's a community with (pardon the rhyme) continuity. That means that when Ian returns sometime in March to write more, that new article will be able to build on some of the ideas presented here, confident in the knowledge that the reader will have already seen this piece (or at least be interested enough to dig it up!)

@excitable_misunderstood_genius: This article has, since its initial publication a few hours ago, included that disclosure.

@kenori:Here one (of many) articles on pitching articles to game outlets.

@humanity: God I was... so bummed by fact that those shards didn't ever add up to anything really massive, narratively speaking. What a missed opportunity.

Also, I think if you plop it onto casual you'll have no problem with Trespasser--and it's definitely worth doing it if (like me) you were desperate for a little narrative resolution.

@impatientandy: Yup, this is it, thanks!:

Edit: Actually, wait, I FIRST started following this back when it was "Hero" at Midway:

@ashbash: Here you go!

@dizzuncan: Whoops! This is one of those things that happens when multiple edits happen in rapid succession, sometimes a key thing gets cut without being noticed by anyone doing the proof reading!

@thatpinguino: I totally get that. Somewhere along the way, though, I realized that all literature was genre literature, and that helped me justify my interests in reading a more varied collection of stuff!

@thatpinguino: This really gets into something that Heather and I chat about over on the podcast we recorded, which is the potential difference between "favorite" and "best." Part of me wants to say "Maybe it's okay that this thing has some cheesy melodrama in it, it's okay to like cheesy melodrama," but I definitely also think it's worth critiquing things we like. Very ambivalent about this stuff, as always!

@hassun: God, I can't even imagine the beef that pops off in the classical music scene. With a genre that's so old, there must be fights that go echo back centuries, huh?
