To: Ash From: Crecente Six years ago today I wrote my first story for Kotaku. Way back then Kotaku was a bit more than a month old and I was the only writer, the only editor, the only anything.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); At the time I spent my nights as the Rocky Mountain News’ night cops reporter and my days writing for Kotaku. I also managed to squeeze in a bit time with my family and 3-year-old son. It wasn’t until 2007 that I quit the Rocky and went full time here. http://kotaku.com/244971/a-rocky-road Six years. Can you believe that? That’s one month shy of my employment record, which happens to be with the Rocky Mountain News. I looked back and I’ve been writing about video games now for 11 years. I spent 12 years as a reporter for newspapers. Soon I [[link]] will have spent more of my life writing about games than writing about [[link]] crime, covering wildfires, interviewing serial killers, recounting the presidential election ballots and [[link]] doing computer-assisted reporting. So weird.
