I used to want to be a game journalist, but I gave it up once I left college. Recently, I was contacted by Luis Aguasvivas, a modern-day game journalist who also contributes to the non-profit New York Videogame Critics Circle.

I asked him about his view on the present and future of game journalism, how his personal experiences affect his work, and what he thinks he contributes to the conversation about games.
