I am a terrible journalist

I felt like I should mention as soon as I discovered the fact that Jonathan Blow hired a writer to collaborate on the script of his forthcoming puzzle game The Witness - Tom Bissell to be specific: journalist, author, videogame commentor and critic, Guggenheim Fellow and Rome Prize winner.  Which omission of detail in my recent writing makes me look, well, super dumb.  I need to read up on Bissell more as I'm not acquainted with his writing but its a development that definitely makes me more optimistic about the writing in The Witness.  So far reading about the level of difficulties in the puzzles in the game, I have a feeling this is just the start of The Witness making me feel dumb.
