Writing

bobbyjack.me

Since April 2019, I have written reviews of 17 Nintendo Switch games for this site, alongside a series of shorter One Hour reviews which are more concise and cover games I’ve played briefly, for free.

Switch Player & Ninty Fresh magazines

In February 2020, I began writing reviews and contributing features for Switch Player Magazine, an online and print publication. As of October 2020, I have written 21 reviews.

The highlight was undoubtedly my review for Super Mario 3D All-Stars which was afforded a five-page spread in the October 2020 issue. I also wrote a feature retrospective of Baba Is You for the July 2020 magazine.

My role has since developed with a promotion to Reviews Editor. This requires more input in the editorial & creative direction of the magazine, as well as work proofing and liaising with suppliers.

Medium

I first wrote for Medium in September 2020, on a range of issues covering gaming, technology, and film. I am a contributor to publications including The Startup, JavaScript in Plain English, SUPERJUMP, and Level Up Coding. You can read the following examples for free:

• Empower Your Content With Linked Data
• The Survivalists Gene
• Customising link behaviour using JavaScript
• My Octopus Teacher

Make Use Of

In October 2020, I started a position as Staff Writer at MakeUseOf. The role demands pitching ideas for articles relating to technology in the wider sense; I currently specialise in topics covering programming, gaming, and the explanation of technical concepts.
