He has also written for EDGE, Paste, Game Developer Magazine, Gamasutra, Wired, GQ, Vogue, and Atomix. Rogers is known for his writing style, which is incredibly free-form and rambling, resulting in extremely long articles/reviews which always go off-topic onto different subjects. In these he presents himself in a self-inflated and unsympathetic manner, though Rogers has said that this is just a persona.
