Thankless Grind was an idea that formed during countless coffee house conversations on the subject of video games. The creators Ian, Josh and Sam all have full time jobs in fields unrelated to video games, so what we can actually cover will be quite limited. We will never be able to compete with comprehensive news coverage of sites like Joystiq or Kotaku, the fully staffed review departments of Gamespot or IGN, or the in-depth features writers of Gamasutra. What we can do however is write our opinions on all of the above, and hopefully encourage our users to contribute as well.
