I sent in my review to the review site, and they liked it.They said I just needed to get use to the format of how they have there reviews written.

SO I GOT THE JOB(technicially)and am an intern, for them and will work for no pay, for awhile.

I plan on doing a big darkbasic(pro/classic)review, in a couple of months once some big games come out.
(please don't ask me to review your game yet.)
I'll probebly ask rich(or another mod)to make a sticky in the general section, if you want to get the review done, but that will come near the end of Summer.

Don't worry, I'll still be around the forums for almost as much time as I usually spend.

Unpaid internships . . . Ah . . . I had two internships, and both were paid. I actually passed up one in Prague, because I'm too poor to go after good unpaid opportunities.

Hope it works out for you, man.

It's impressive that you got anything above a form refusal.

Well, like I mentioned in my other posts, I really need the experience, because this really is my entrance into the gaming world.

For I have never game tested, or released a commercial game.
The pay will come later(whether in cash, or hardware/software)

But, I'm being careful to make sure this place can be well trusted, though things should workout just fine.

Honestly, if they had offered to pay you, I'd be worried.

Unpaid internships are usually the mark that a place is either either legit, or at least attracts enough attention (such as start-up businesses in cutting edge industries) that they don't need to pay a nickel, because folks are lining up to do what you did.
