As I wrote 10 years ago in my final magazine: you have immediate access to decades of games/scans/videos/etc. to make a unique gaming text. You can go bigger than a zine and still make it look cool, and you don't have to make yet another platform/genre catalog. Curate and craft for god's sake

For anyone lamenting how some goon was able to get a publishing deal - put together your own book! Create a solid concept, do some planning, create a design, and pitch it! Most publishers don't have open pitch seasons. They want to see someone that can see a full project to completion.

visions of mana has the glacial dialogue pace, cutscene direction, and systems layering of a ps3 era chinese rpg (complimentary)

how nice to play a lovely new mana this way

more than anything else it seems like any quality control of the text itself is completely gone given those dogshit excerpts you linked but i'm still happy to see you go in on them, good riddance

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry.

Perhaps today is a good day to write about every game in the JALECOlle Famicom Vers. line of classic reissues, I told myself. Read if you like Jaleco games. Which should be just about everyone who follows me, right?

In many ways we are living in a golden age for retro game rereleases. It used to be that only the biggest and most beloved of hits had any real guarantee of getting brought back. We are now in an era....
