I voted for Kyo on the PS3 version (as I've only got a PS3 at the moment).

That would make for a nice mini-side feature thingie for my blog (or for discussion in general), to see how much potential it really had.

So, I've been reading (and recapping) Issue #16 of EGM, and in Steve Harris' editorial column he talks about Sendai Publications new import gaming magazine, titled "Super Gaming." We don't have this magazine in the archives yet and I never saw a copy anywhere - so I'm wondering, how long did the magazine last, and what happened to it?

So, I'm in the midst of writing my recap of EGM #35. In the course of this recap, I'm going through the Review Crew sections, putting what the Crew gave to various games and why, and my thoughts on that. In the course of this I get to the review of the puzzle games "Yoshi" and "NBA 2: All Star Challenge" for the Game Boy - and for both of these reviews, Ed Semrad has a score, but no actual review. Whether it's Ed forgetting to get the review done on time, or if it's an error in the printing process, I don't know - but in any case, somebody messed up, bad. I'll try to get a picture up once I get my review done, but, anyway, does anyone else know of any other cases of magazines Critically Failing their Craft (Magazine) checks?

Voting for EGM, but then again, that's what I've been reviewing on my blog.

Sour - I'm not a big fan of sour. Fruity - Costco House-Brand fruit snacks. Hard Candy - A&W Root Beer hard candies. Chocolate - Super-dark candy bars. I haven't found a super-dark candy bar that I didn't like.

They've got an arcade stick for the PS3. I haven't bought one yet, because I'm too cheap and I would prefer to pick the stick up at a local store, rather than to order it online and pay for shipping.

They look just fine to me.

I also liked All Bonds, particularly as a Timothy Dalton fan.

In short - the HDMI cable going from the Home Theater reciever to the TV will carry the video over, while still sending the 7.1 sound signal out to the speakers.

Used my $20 Gift Card to Best Buy to pick up Burnout Paradise for the PS3 earlier in the week.

I've been doing reviews and recaps of various issues of EGM on my blog, and I've been giving a shout-out back to Retromags.

If someone could post the URL of their web page when it goes live, that would be much appreciated.

It looks like they charge $.99 US per issue, but what you're getting is a DRM'd file that can only be read with their proprietary reader. Their archive only goes back to April '03 anyway.

$1.88

Portland, Oregon, USA (basically) - as far as Pro Sports go, we've got the Portland Trail Blazers for basketball and... that's pretty much it - Oh, and we've got minor league Baseball (Portland Beavers) and hockey teams (Winter Hawks). Oh, and I almost forgot our Pro Lacrosse team - the Portland Lumberjax

Me too. The rest of my freaking moments in gaming are more "Oh, frak me!" particularly since they send to be more slow burn moments. ---------------- Now playing: Leo Laporte and the TWiTs - TWiT 178: Call Of Doody via FoxyTunes

I don't know if IPB3 supports Tags, but if it does, I just want to repeat my suggestions on this post here about using tagging to organize the Download Section. This could provide an organic way of organizing the archive. ---------------- Now playing: Leo Laporte and the TWiTs - TWiT 178: Call Of Doody via FoxyTunes

Actually... my EGMs are in storage right now... once I dig them out I'll see which ones we don't have overlap for (and I'll try to compare them to the scans we've currently got so I can try to cover the gaps. Plus, I'm kicking myself for getting rid of some GameFans a few years ago, particularly because I'm insanely certain that I've got a few issues we're missing. ---------------- Now playing: Leo Laporte and the TWiTs - TWiT 178: Call Of Doody via FoxyTunes

As far as organizing the site goes... there are three ways we could go about doing this that come into my head. Tags: Tagging would be done by "editors" and people submitting magazines, which limits tag bloat. This way a magazine could be tagged by Country Of Origin, Console (or computer platform) of focus (or a "general" category for magazines like EGM or Gamefan), Magazines or Strategy Guides, and format type (cbr or pdf). And maybe year. Same: Using the same format we're doing now. Catagory Restructure: Restructuring the category system for whatever new format we want to do. Such as... Country of Origin ->Platform -->Title of Magazine Strategy Guides would be either organized by platform, or if they're put out by a magazine (such as Nintendo Power's official strategy guides) they'd be put under that magazine. EDIT: Oh, and how the color scheme goes, this scheme is fine, though a lot of the retro consoles that weren't from Sega (before the Dreamcast) were a soft-white, which could work here. ---------------- Now playing: Leo Laporte and the TWiTs - TWiT 178: Call Of Doody via FoxyTunes

This is a tough one for me to go with, but I'm going to go with the NES, as that's the first console I ever really owned. I ended up skipping the 16-bit generation - only buying a Genesis recently, and was a latecomer to the Playstation.

Yeah, the Final Fantasy Collection was for the PS1, either Anthologies or Chronicles, I forget (Origins worked just fine).

Thus far I'm on issue 1 & 2, with them releasing peripherals for the Atari 7800, NES and Mega Drive. ---------------- Now playing: 1UP Staff - 1UP.com - 1UP Yours - 08/22/2008 via FoxyTunes

I'm going through the archives of EGM and planning to chart the evolution of the magazine on my blog, and I've been seeing a lot of ads and articles for Beeshu peripherals in the magazine. I'm wondering what happened to them? Did they go out of business, get bought out by MadCatz or Hori or what?

Mine wasn't reading some of my Final Fantasy collections, and it stopped reading my copy of Growlancer Generations entirely. ---------------- Now playing: 1UP.com Staff - Retronauts Podcast Episode 63 via FoxyTunes
