Post by: hyp on April 04, 2008, 04:17:57 PM

Does the paper Newseek have his articles?  Ngai is the protoype for pseudo-intellectual VG journalists that analyze games in more depth than they need or deserve.

He covers technology and games on Newsweek magazine.  And most of his blog articles do not appear in the magazine.
