I think you'd be perfect as an outsight journalist for video games.
There's been a lot of talk recently, prompted by Shigeru Miyamoto, about broadening gaming's appeal. At the moment, it's more of a generation Y thing, because this is the generation that grew up with it. The baby boomers just wont get it, or want to get it I dont think (all they see are stigma and over-simplified sterotypes of games in general) but generation X are viable targets.
Video games generate about 7 billion dollars every year which is more than the hollywood box office, yet the video game industry goesnt recieve anywhere near as much respect as the music or movie industry. But I think that's true of all otaku culture, sorta like how otaku art needed to be rebranded as "the superflat art movement" for anyone to take it remotely seriously.
