After writing for Gameplanet and then moving to my own blog, Game Culture NZ, I was approached by Hal Halpin from the ECA (Entertainment Consumers Association) who was interested in my blog content and in acquiring Game Culture NZ.

Hal and I came to a formal agreement and I was then contracted to write for Game Culture dot Com as a contributing consultant on video game culture in 2010.

You can read about the ECA confirming my appointment here on Wikipedia.
