There is a vote for what the blackout award will look like, go here to vote. http://i.imgur.com/AlP6AV0.png Staff members, are friendly, helpful but somehow we never really get to know much about the way they think about their job. Therefore we decided to interview one staff, or ex-staff member a month, just to make you more familiar with them. This month it is a member who we all know and who has been on the staff for over a year now, ladies and gentleman, we present to you: SylarTheNinja. So tell us, who’s the person behind the username? A: My name is Ben. I'm currently studying Games Development at university. Q: What do you like most about your job as staff member? A: Being able to give something back to the community. Q: Is there something you dislike about your job? A: Sometimes alphabetizing some people's names in the max clubs can be a pain, but other than that everything is awesome! Q: How low have you stooped for trophies and would you ever stoop any lower (if possible)? A: This THL I played Hannah Montana, so I don't think it's possible to go any lower! Q: How did you feel when you were approached to become a staff member? A: Being approached to be a staff member was amazing, I even still have the PM! Q: What do you think makes your job as staff member worth it most? A: The cool purple name of course although really it's all good! Q: If you could be admin for a day, what would you do? A: Make the whole forum be zero post count Q: We hear that you're a fan of pizza. What would your dream topping combination be? A: Pepperoni, green peppers, beef and sausage. Or pretty much anything except pineapples and olives! Q: Considering you are a self-certified ninja, you seem to have a lack of ninja gaiden games on your profile. Why is this? A: Maybe I do have them... Q: Do you have any last words for the community/readers? A: Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, Tweak! Thank you for your time but most of all thank you for all the hard work you've done for the site. I'm sure I speak on behalf of the community and other staff members Useful links Want to know which guides are new? Check out the newest game night videos Keep up with the latest site events What is handier than having all the newest releases listed for you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's it for the PST newsletter this month, thank you for reading. Thanks to Glennthomas and Red Rebel for some of the GFX. If you have any content ideas, let one of us two know. See you next month!

We are kicking off by interviewing one of the people behind the newsletter: TheManUtdFan. He has been a Guide Team member since January 2014. So tell us, who’s the person behind the username? A: Hi i'm Dan and I'm a 17 year old student from the UK currently doing my A Levels Q: What do you like most about your job as staff member? A: What I like most is giving back to the great community here who have helped me throughout my years on the site Q: Is there something you dislike about your job? A: Really the only thing is having to reject guides that people have worked hard on Q: What guide of yours is your favourite? A: My favourite guide is probably the Batman: Arkham Origins one, as it was the biggest one I ever did on my own and i'm proud of the result. Q: How did you feel when you were approached to become a staff member? A: I felt surprised as I didn't expect that I would be asked at all. I also felt happy that I was trusted enough to be asked to join the team. Q: Are you ever going to retry getting a platinum trophy 4 p.m. on the day a new THL season starts? A: Probably not, not going down that road again 😝 Q: What do you think makes your job as staff member worth it most? A: Knowing that i've helped people, especially new guide writers. It's like helping people help other people. Q: If you could be admin for a day, what would you do? A: I'd keep the site exactly how it is Q: Do you have any last words for the community/readers?

Buttercup Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks for all the support and feedback guys! Good job guys! IWith the "ex staff members" how are you going to do that each month? Surely there's not enough active ones around to last more than a few months? As Dan said it's ex and current staff members and there are a lot! There are currently 40 staff members and a whole bunch of ex-staff members and I'm sure there will be current staff members stepping down to make place for new ones so don't worry!
