What it’s like working at XBLA Fans

So I might have totally downloaded Instagram just as an excuse to share this photo, but I promise to avoid all puns involving editing articles until they are purrfect. Ok, no more puns after that one. XBLA Fans has an incredible team behind it (including our deputy editor pictured above), but we are always interested in speaking with talented individuals about ways they can get involved with the website. If you have a talent, we want to see it. While we don’t have any vacant writing positions, we are always willing to look at creating new roles. If you have a passion for XBLA and a strong ability to communicate through any medium: web development, text, art, video, audio, etc. please reach out to us: John@XBLAFans.com.

Also, our parent company is actively looking for help on our sister sites: XboxKinectFans.com and PSNFans.com. If you’re interested in gaining valuable writing experience and honing your craft, we highly suggest reaching out to them: editor@PSNFans.com and Nick@XboxKinectFans.com. In the past we have successfully been able to work with universities to help students earn course credit for their work with us.

Please note that at this time all positions are on a volunteer basis. We have some amazing projects in the works that I can’t wait to tell you about. We are committed to the long haul and can’t wait to continue to cultivate the XBLA and greater gaming community.

XBLAFancast Episode 48 – Kinectin’ with Nick

Last week was a big Kinect week on XBLA, so we decided to get Xbox Kinect Fans writer Nick DePetris to join us and share his thoughts. Sadly that means no Todd this week, but don’t let that put you off we still have a fun packed show for you.

Nick kicks things off by telling us about Double Fine’s Happy Action Theater and Rhythm Party, both of which are pretty interesting additions to the Kinect library. Myself and Andrew played a bit of Iron Brigade DLC pack, Rise of the Martian Bear, which we don’t mind telling you is pretty tough!

Perry drops many a news bomb on us, check below for links to the full stories we discussed.

In Crews’ Community Corner Andrew chooses a twitter question in which @wolvie75 asked what our dream Summer of Arcade line up would be, choosing from the previous promotions. You’ll have to listen to the show to find out our answers though. Also be sure to check out Carcassonne for Remember The Days and let us know what you think on twitter.

Please subscribe, comment, review the podcast on iTunes and tell your friends! We appreciate it! Check us out on twitter (@XBLAFans) where you can win codes for games, give us feedback or just ask a question. We are also now on Stitcher, so you can stream the show on your smartphone, give it a go!

Big thanks again to Chris Green for the awesome theme music, be sure to check out his site BlurredEdge and why not follow him on twitter too @BlurredEdge.

Double Fine’s Happy Action Theater launches February 1

No more conjecture, Double Fine’s zany Kinect title Happy Action Theater hits Xbox Live Arcade February 1. Tim Schafer took to Twitter to broadcast the news earlier today:

“DFHAT has an official release date! Better achieve your life’s goals asap, because come 2/1 your priorities will change.”

Thanks to our swanky looking sister site Xbox Kinect Fans for the tip. Just who the devil are Xbox Kinect Fans? Click the link for the answers to all your questions, (Kinect questions anyway).
