The Editor

So. I should introduce myself, since I'm apparently in charge now.

My name's Danny Marchetti, and as of this week I'm the Editor-in-Chief of 56ViceLane. Not because I applied. Because the last guy left. Abruptly. The official line is "stepped down to pursue other opportunities." The unofficial line, which I'm told is closer to the truth, is that he cracked under the pressure of steering this place through the biggest launch countdown in gaming history.

Last anyone saw of him, he was at the airport boarding a flight with a young woman who was — and I'm choosing my words carefully here — definitely not his wife. Didn't look like a round trip. Left his badge on the desk and a coffee still warm in the mug.

So here I am. Filling a job I didn't ask for and didn't interview for, mostly because I was the only one still in the building when they needed a name on the masthead. I'll take it, though. The office comes with a private bathroom and a secretary. (I'm told. I have not yet located either. I remain hopeful.)

Here's my promise: real GTA6 coverage, no hype we can't back up, no rumors dressed as facts. That part I can control. What I apparently cannot control is the "news feed" on our homepage that nobody on staff will admit to building, or a man named Trevor who has opinions about everything and clearance for none of it. Those are problems for another day. Probably tomorrow.
