For sometime it has been the intention to use the Fallout Studio website to provide the community with news and updates from the modding, development and gaming realms. In order for this idea to become a reality we are going to need some dedicated people to help us collect, collate and publish the goings on, ups and downs and ins and outs of the these worlds into something clear and legible for the community to absorb.

We're looking for approximately 3-4 people to come and work with the staff team to go out and about and trawl through the news, identify the gems and sift through the trash to bring the FS community all that is fit to print in the gaming, modding and development communities.

So if you have a keen interest in these areas, like to keep up to date and have sharp eyes, then we'd like you to apply. You'll be responsible for researching the public updates, identifying which is in the interests of the community and then publishing these on the FS site. You'll be working closely with the Staff team at FS so you'll have some help if you need it, but this will be something that you can have a substantial part in for the benefit of the community.

If you fit the bill and have the time to spare then let us know and give us a bit of an idea as to what you'd be capable of doing and any ideas that you might have (along with any relevant experience), we'll be putting the final team together as soon as we can.

I wouldn't mind giving a hand.
I've been sifting through ModDB since late 2005 and know what makes a good, successful mod or indie game. I'm also a media student, I have a basic idea of how to write for journalism and articles, although I'm no editor, I'm not exactly new to all this either.

I have no previous actual experience in this field, but I'm willing to take a shot at it now.

Atleast I did. They shut down few months ago. I was writing reviews for mods and indie games, and writing columns about mod development. I'm not sure if that's what you need from me, and my schedule is bit overloaded.

Though if it's "must be" I guess I could do some work here and there...

I doubt I have enough time to go scouring news sites for new information regards modding/gaming in general, but I do have enough time to write stuff if that is a skill required, or just to provide a general keen eye on what's going through the site.
For there can be no death without life.

Seeing that I already trawl through a ridiculous amount of random blogs and news sites mostly about tech, I could potentially provide a helping hand especially as it would be easy to shift the perspective to gaming and the like. We'll see how it goes.

I'd gladly take over as a blogger for the main page if you want. I roam quite a few gaming forums other than this one and I'm subscribed to a few RSS feeds from tech sites so I doubt I'll run out of things to post.

I also write some of the updates for NLS mods.

I wouldn't mind having a go at it. I already dig around a lot on the net and I have a lot of free time which I could use to fine tune et cetera.

You almost did, didn't you?

Hi all! I'd like to apply :D


I have experience as staff of GamesModding.com
I wrote 3 articles, including tutorials, but i'm now finishing the last exams of this year and i'll have my entire summer vacations free.
However, my english is not 100% good, so i would need someone to review the gramar...

I could give it a go if I have time. Used to do some stuff for C&C Files (IIRC that's what made me sign up on this forum in fact).

I would help you out on the hardware part of gaming. I always keep myself up to date on this matter, especially on the graphic division which, for someone who doesn't deepen her/himself into it, can be very confusing nowadays.

I have already once started a topic with updates on the graphics divisions before here, which can be found here.
