The first in a series for my friend’s blog where I review the games I got last Black Friday in a hilarious fashion.

10 Crazy Things You Can Do With Sound
Listverse.com
My first for Listverse, it was pretty interesting to research. The sound-proof room sounds like torture, since I know I probably have hearing damage and the constant ringing would drive me insane.

6 Sci-Fi Technologies With Suspiciously Unaddressed Problems
Cracked.com
This article holds the record for “the final article that was most different from the original premise.” It started out being about solutions in Sci-Fi movies that end up causing more problems, and ended up being co-written and combined with another article before it was published. So unfortunately, I was only left with one of my original entries, Minority Report.

The Stupid History of Downloadable Games
EscapistMagazine.com
My first feature over at the Escapist. It was pretty fun. I wish Sega Channel was still real.

A Video Game Made by the NRA (That Explains a Lot)
Cracked.com
I loved doing this, because I like making idiots look like idiots, and videogames. So I combined the two.

4 Upcoming Games That Will Blow Everything Else Away
N3rdDimension.com
This was the first article I did for my friend’s nerd blog. I tend not to do gaming pieces in my own space because I have access to other outlets that are more specific to gaming. But we’ll see.

5 New Space Projects Even More Awesome Than the Mars Rover
Cracked.com
This was originally a full article but ended up being my first Quick Fix, Cracked’s short-form articles. I’m responsible for the ones about the new space shuttle, Virgin Galactic, and the Robonaut.

The 6 Creepiest Glitches in Famous Video Games (Part 2)
Cracked.com
Jumped on this one for Halloween. A lot of potential entries for this one ended up getting cut or combined into the same entry. Mine about Bethesda games and Battlefield got combined into the first one. This one is done annually, so I’ll try to get on it again.

The 6 Most Certifiably Insane Acts of Writing
Cracked.com
I was furiously writing over the summer, which explains the four (!) articles in August. Doubt I’ll be able to do that again. I wrote the entries about Robert Shield’s Diary, Finnegan’s Wake, and the “Young Visiters”.

5 Mind-Blowing Ways That Science Has Done the Impossible

Picked this idea up after someone abandoned it.

5 Inexplicably Creepy Episodes of Family Friendly TV Shows
Cracked.com
Awesomely published the day before, this was the most fun I’ve had writing an article. I literally got paid to watch Pokemon. Probably my favorite thing I’ve written.

The 5 Worst Marketing Ideas Ever Put into Action
Cracked.com
My second Cracked article was a co-write (I wrote the McAfrika entry). Quite a bit of our entries were cut before publication. I’ve republished two of them here.

6 Scientific Advances Courtesy of Reckless Self-Endangerment
Cracked.com
About 5 months after joining the workshop, my first Cracked article was published. One of the weirdest and coolest moments of my life was seeing my name on the front page of the most popular humor website in the world. Seriously a dream coming true. Funnily enough, this article has done the worst traffic out of all of mine so far. But I’m not complaining – it got half a million views.

Is Kickstarter The Future?
DigitallyDownloaded.net
This was the first thing I ever wrote online (you’ll notice the wee little “Chris R.” at the bottom). It’s a fairly small gaming blog that I found by accident, and it has improved it’s look quite a bit since I’ve written this. Maybe someday I’ll revisit it.
