LOGiN 360 (March 2006)

By kitsunebi

The included CD-ROM can be downloaded HERE.
LOGiN is a PC gaming magazine, but THAT JUST DOESN'T MATTER. Not when you can also find THIS in this issue:

Yes, it's the movie Spy Monkey. Never heard of Spy Monkey? That's because it was originally released in the West as Spymate. Never heard of Spymate? That's because it was only released in theaters in Canada, and E-Day is the only person who bought tickets. But 3 YEARS LATER, they decided to release it in Japanese theaters as Spy Monkey (honestly a better name), and thanks to LOGiN magazine, we now know of the existence of this little-seen-by-anyone-but-E-Day-masterpiece.
But that's not all! Hold onto your butts, y'all...Spymate is available IN FULL on YouTube! It has 475k views!!! WHY AREN'T YOU ONE OF THEM?!!!
Poor Pat Morita...wax on...wax off...career on...career off...

PSM Issue 001 (September 1997)

By kitsunebi

*kitsunebi edition*
All-new higher resolution scan (3200px vs 2200px...and if you want full 600dpi, I have that as well on my archive.org page.)
The previous scan is quite good. Most differences are minor. This scan was not created because the previous one was in need of an upgrade, but simply because I scan everything I own for my own sake. However, since the previous scan was destructively debound, part of each page is missing along the gutter side of the page. For most pages this is simply white space, so there's not much difference other than that this new, uncut scan appears less cramped when in two-page view mode (my scan has been marked in the lower right corner with my profile pic):

In instances where adjoining pages have images stretching across both pages, this new scan shows the complete uncut image as it was printed:

Color differences on most pages are relatively minor, with the exception of a fold-out page of jewel case inserts, which is particularly washed-out/yellow in the earlier scan for some reason and is much more accurately captured in this new scan:

Speaking of that fold-out -- I've moved it to the end of the archive, since (as in the older scan) leaving it in place would cause the subsequent facing pages to not be displayed correctly.
Please note that the smiley face lid sticker is NOT included in this scan. I'm sure I've still got it lying around somewhere, and if I ever find it I'll be sure to add it to this scan, but in the meantime, if you really want it, you can find it in the older scan available here.
I HAVE included a half-page subscription insert not included in the other scan.
And speaking of subscriptions...I apparently somehow subscribed to PSM before it was ever released, since I received this 1st issue as part of a subscription (I know, because I had to remove the mailing label from the cover.) I guess they must have advertised subscriptions ahead of its release in some other mag and I decided to take a chance sight unseen?

Games for Windows Issue 17 (April 2008)

By kitsunebi

This is the final issue of Games for Windows. It could also be considered the final issue of Computer Gaming World, since that's what it was before they (unwisely) changed the name. And I'd like to say it's the final issue needed to complete our collection of this title, but unfortunately we're still missing issue 5. Phillyman owns it. It's in a box he has in storage. Pester him if you want to see it scanned. Don't worry, there's nothing he likes more than a good pestering.
I for one am glad to be done editing issues of this title. I scanned 15 issues out of GfW's 17 issue run, and every single one of them had an obscene amount of elements spread across both pages, forcing me to edit them together as a single image to ensure perfect joins in two-page view before splitting them back apart for the CBR. This issue had 64 pages that had to be joined. And it's only a 100 page mag! I shake my fist at you, GfW art director, whoever you were...

Famitsu Issue 1365 (February 12, 2015)

By kitsunebi

I had a certain song playing through my head while flipping through this mag, looking for my random "about this file" comment. The version on Youtube is from an older version of the 5th grade elementary school English textbooks, and has been updated for the newer ones with new music and lyrics (same refrain and melody, though), but the newer version isn't on Youtube, so far as I know. But it's ironic? fitting? that the song (Yokoso! Welcome to Japan) was stuck in my head when I came across a page featuring this toy:

A twin-barrel battleship gun emplacement...that couldn't be more Japanese if it tried. I think foreigners who have never been to Japan watch some anime or some wacky Japanese commercials or whatever and think that Japan must be some zany place fully of quirky people doing quirky things like they saw once on a game show or in a video of an idol concert in Akihabara or something. But it's actually a really quiet, ordinary place.
Except for the cuteness. Everywhere you look, CUTE CUTE CUTE. The kawaii aesthetic is everywhere. Please observe exhibit A, a collection of roadside construction barriers.

So why not make cute anthropomorphic guns? If you absolutely positively HAD to be shot out of the sky, wouldn't you prefer it be by something adorable?

Famitsu Issue 1367 (February 26, 2015)

By kitsunebi

So it seems the editors of Famitsu thought that people would like to see Persona 5 on the cover. I mean, sure - on a NORMAL day, that might be the case. But how they decided to go with Persona 5 when they had this in the same issue, will forever be a mystery:

This is Tsuri Bit. Which means "fishing bit." Note the fishing rods? Wikipedia tells me that this jpop idol group formed out of a desire to sing, dance...and fish.
Their concept:
You can't even make this stuff up.
Based on views, this seems to be their biggest hit, from around the time this magazine came out (the song's title is "I'm going to dance, fish" presumably meaning "I'm going to dance and fish," or maybe "I'm going to dance, then fish" and not someone addressing a fish and telling it that they're going to dance. Though I suppose it could be that...)

246 pgs.
Another edit finished, another magazine tossed into the recycling bin. And yet the pile of mags waiting to be scanned never gets any smaller. Indeed, just when you think you're making progress clearing out the mags cluttering your home by the box-load, you "accidentally" buy some more. In your head, you know what you're doing is abhorrently wrong, but just like this duck, your body has a mind of its own and your finger clicks the "buy it now" button before your brain has a chance to stop it. You hang your head in shame. This is the scanner's own private hell.

PC Games Vol. 03 No. 06 (June 1996)

By kitsunebi

*kitsunebi edition*
There was already a very good scan of this issue made available here, but this is my all new scan and edit. I think it offers some improvements, but encourage you to give it a look and decide for yourself.
Some differences include:
slightly whiter pages more complete scan of each page from edge to edge (the older scan was presumably debound with a guillotine cutter, while this was debound with a heat gun, ensuring the entire page could be scanned) more seamless joins of images that spread across facing pages inclusion of an alternate 3-page spread of the opening fold-out ad. This ad was designed so that, after opening the cover, you would see two facing pages. Next, you would unfold the left page, which would display two new pages that would then seamlessly become a single 3-page image along with the original right-side page. Thus, the right-side page would essentially be seen twice - facing the original left side page, and also as part of the three-page join once the left-side page was unfolded. Both versions are included here for the first time to simulate the intended effect of the original ad. (One of the advantages of using a CBR reader is that this will cause no problems regardless of whether you are using single or two-page viewing mode. If you are using a PDF reader (such as Sumatra) to read your CBR files...WHY?! Seriously, you're using the wrong type of program LOL. As such, the intended order of facing pages may not display correctly, but what did you expect - this isn't a PDF. 😜) inclusion of scans of subscription cards inclusion of scans of included demo CD sleeve and disc (and I've uploaded the ISO of said disc HERE.) Here are a couple of comparisons showing how two-page joins in this scan are more complete. You can see how the older version is missing information near the center of the join:

This is just a regular page to show the slight difference in overall page coloration:

Famitsu Issue 1370 (March 19, 2015)

By kitsunebi

So here's a fun PS3/PS4 game. Take photos of girls in compromising positions - up skirts and down shirts. If the girls aren't posing in a way convenient for your photos? No problem - just do a slide or lay down on the ground and you'll have those panty shots in no time. OH NOES! HERE COMES THE PERVERT POLICE!! Run away to be a sexual predator another day! Wheee!!!
Did you all know that there's an actual law in Japan that makes it illegal to sell any camera (including those on mobile devices) that doesn't make a loud "click" shutter noise when a photo is taken? This noise cannot be disabled, and finding a workaround is illegal. That's because of shit like this game happening in real life. But I guess you aren't allowed to murder people in real life, either, and we've got thousands of games where that's the goal, so...yay, lets take photos of underage high school girls' panties without their consent. 🙄
