    Good morning Jo-Ryan! I'd like to refer you to a piece that was written by Juan which I think could serve as a good tool for younger writers.

    With both FIFA and PES coming out, I thought I'd write an article about them.

    Hope you enjoy it.

    This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

    Thank you everyone!
