Sex, Drugs and Cartoon Violence: My Decade as a Video Game

Sex, Drugs and Cartoon Violence: My Decade as a Video Game Journalist

Covering a decade on the inside of the games industry, SEX, DRUGS, AND CARTOON VIOLENCE lifts the curtain on the whirlwind of hype and promotion surrounding the launch of a multimillion dollar game. From all-expenses paid junkets, to multi-million dollar parties, to exclusive â€œpreviewsâ€, these are the stories youâ€™ve never heard about the way video games are sold and reported.

Written by a veteran games reporter and former television producer, this is the story of an accidental journey into â€” and back out of â€” one of the weirdest niches of journalism in the world.

With a foreward by Adam Sessler.
