Congratulations, Marter!

[Cowabungaa]

Congrats dude, totally called it. From where I stand it looked like you were growing towards it for a while now. You've earned this position, I'll be looking forward to more of your reviews.

It's funny, I actually remember you being new here. How you have grown... *small tear* Best of luck.

You've got big shoes to fill, Marter, you've got damn big shoes to fill.

Big shoes? Depends, at least we know Marter is a really nice guy and not a total jerk on Twitter.

*shots fired*

Congrats Marter, I remember first noticing you first years ago when I first joined Escapist, really heartwarming to see all your hard work paying off.

Plus this feels like the first site move in ages that everyone seems to think is a good idea, which gives a very nostalgic feeling.

I don't know you but I love the idea of good community members getting work at the site they post at, so grats!

Gavin got his start the same way. It's rare, but cool when it happens.

Wait, which one's Marter again?

Topaz is the one with the Tetris avatar, Kross is the one we all blame, uhh...

Well, I know I keep reading it as 'Mater' because I literate, and I think he isn't Winking Car Man or Flaming Wolf, and I definitely know he isn't Mr. Boyfriend (but not really kind sorta I don't really know sometimes, let's just remain hopeful and hold onto them happy thoughts, yes?), and perish the thought that he could be me.

So, that narrows it down some, yes?

Anyway, have a Troy Baker for your accomplishment:

Winking Car Man

I, ummm.... eh....

Car?

So who wants to start the deadpool on how long it is before this guy gets outed as a transphobe?

I kid, I kid. Nice to see one of our own making something of themselves. This kind of democratic creation of critics is essential. While it's important to have educated, formalized voices in the critical field, there's something to be said of a reviewer who's just "one of us".

 

[Objectable]

Will you still be doing WWE reviews?

 

[soren7550]

Winking Car Man

I, ummm.... eh....

Car?

I uhh, that is... guuu...

ABORT!ABORT!ABORT!

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Winking Car Man

I, ummm.... eh....

Car?

Spoiler: ;)

Goddamn, winking cars are sexy as hell.

Where...where is my lotion?!

Is this the part where we all pick through his social media history to make sure he's not part of the right-wing conspiracy?

 

[Godhead]

Between Moviebob and Marter...

I'd choose Roman Reigns.

 

[Marter]

Will you still be doing WWE reviews?

My current plan is to do them until this year's 'Mania and then either stop or just do PPV reviews. Not sure yet. More people are asking than I expected which means there's perhaps more desire for them than I thought. But I'll be doing the weekly ones for another month, at least.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Awesome news! Maybe this will be the boost that gets you the attention you deserve!

Look forward to reading lots of great articles.

 

[Just Ebola]

Marter? Who's that?

Only the greatest underground contributor since...

Anyways, mad respect for your movie reviews, I've been enjoying them for however long it's been fashionable to enjoy them.

Seriously, I'll be tuning in regardless of whatever time slot you fill. Congratz, Marter.

 

[Colour Scientist]

Marter? Who's that?

Probably just another right wing loony in disguise. >

 

[Sassafrass]

I expect references to SK3 in every review, Matt.
EVERY. REVIEW.

But still, congrats.

 

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

...Marter wasn't already an official contributor?

Well damn, about time they hired him. Good luck mate, looking forward to your 'internship' ending.

 

[Teoes]

I can't think of anything funny to say (all: "Can he ever?! Ooooohhhhhh!"); so congratulations, again!

 

[Guffe]

Marter's a dude??!!
*mind - blown*

I just remember an incident a few years back were I calld Marter a she based on the name and profile pic and the "shitstorm" that followed

Happy for ya, good luck!
