Hey guys!
My name is Haseeb. I was born in Pakistan (Lahore) and have grown up in Canada. I have loved video games for a very long time. Ever since I got my Nintendo 64 (my first console) I have been obsessed. I have done almost everything related to gaming. I purchase and play a lot of games, develop a little bit as a hobby, and even have tried out music composition. I keep up with all the latest gaming news, which is what brings me to this forum. I want to try my hand at some games journalism, specifically related to the Pakistani Gaming community.
I am very interested in the Pakistani Gaming community, and feel that the representation of the general gaming community is very biased. When it comes to representation, this community is clearly divided into three major regions; North America, Europe, and Japan. I feel this to be very unfair. In this world where third-world countries are rapidly approaching second, and first, world status I feel that there needs to be more coverage for the areas that do not fall withing those three major regions. This is why I want my first gaming journalist project to be focused on the Gamers that everyone else forgets.
I am looking for a few people who would be available for some quick interviews. They can be conducted through a chat (facebook, discord, etc) or video/audio (skype, hangouts, etc). There are no qualifications that I am strictly looking for; the more perspectives I get, the better. This article that I will compose won't be published for a major gaming platform, but will be a personal blog post on Kotaku's readers blog. Hopefully it will gain some traction and raise some sort of awareness for this community.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules for posting this, I don't think I am, and I look forward to all the responses!
Thanks for taking the time to read this through.

TL;DR: Writing an article, need to interview some gaming enthusiasts. Help a brotha out
