August was a huge month for me. In the month since Examiner’s demise I have taken on three freelance jobs and it’s been busy ever since. I write reviews, news and features for GameSpew, iOS reviews for Pookybox, and I’m a video producer for PlusMana’s YouTube. Plus I have GameJurk here and of course the ReActionExaminer channel as well. Personal stuff aside a bunch of news happened so let’s recap everything that happened in August.
