Congrats on the stats...

I'm (skim) reading your Smite2 interview... And I'm really impressed by your ability in keeping your questions focused and to the point.

I've said it before (especially in the context of one of your previous posts)... I tend to converse a tad too much during my own line of questioning.

What are your long-term goals for your website? Do you intend to make it a commercial operation - in the same vein as heavy-hitters like Eurogamer etc, or even as a one man blog that gets serious amounts of hits?

Thanks!

This is probably because each interview is well-prepared before the actual meeting. By the time I arrive, I already know who I’m going to meet and what I’m going to ask. But It’s not about reading questions off a sheet—I weave the questions into a natural, live discussion. It may seem completely spontaneous, but I have a plan in my head, and I guide the conversation (my wife jokingly calls it manipulation).

There are many techniques for steering the conversation or politely interrupting when someone goes too deep into details or, on the other hand, shares information I already know from public sources or press releases.

About the blog... At this point, I have no specific plans for expanding this—it's just an occasional hobby for now, and we'll see how it evolves.

I see that you're uploading your interviews from Gamescom... How many interviews did you do over there?

Also, do you think you'll ever consider launching your own podcast show (audio / video) in future? Maybe have it in a way where you do long-form interviews!

23 on site, and about 7 more 'semi-official'

Podcasting isn’t really my medium. Plus, I have a day job, which makes it tricky to share my face or voice. My current role requires a more formal approach—I should be wearing a suit, not running around with a camera at game shows!

Looking great man! I can see the passion in your work, it really shows. Personally I'm not really a reading person but I did skim through some of the content, It's engaging even for a non avid reader. Keep the fire going, you can do it!
