  1. I'm a 22-year-old college student majoring in Computer Science and Scientific/Technical Writing. I came upon this site while doing research for a website idea I'm working on with my friends. If it gets off the ground, then we'll be using this site's resources quite a bit. I'm a firm believer in give-and-take, though, and that's why I'm going to be working on my collection of old PSM and PC Games magazines. Hopefully I'll have the first one up tomorrow, at least in an unedited format. I've been into games pretty significantly since I got my Genesis back in the day. I was a Sega fanboy and then a Sony Fanboy before figuring out that being a fanboy is way too limiting. Now I've got a Wii and a 360, and I'll pick up a PS3 when I start making enough to cover more than rent and food. I fully intend to take a writing job after I graduate in December, and I'm going to try my damndest to make it into the video game journalism field. BTW, konnichiwa, if you're worried about us Americans being too ignorant to know where Belgium is, pointing us to Luxembourg is a step in the wrong direction. Just kidding with ya.
  2. Probably really obvious, but as it's for an FAQ, thought I'd might as well ask. Somewhere I remember reading you wanted magazines more than five years out of print. I don't see that stipulation mentioned anywhere else (just 5 year old magazines period). Just to clarify, you mean the issue itself must be out of print for five years, right, not the entire magazine? Specifically, PSM no longer exists under that title, but I heard it turned into Playstation: The Official Magazine, which is still running. Just wanted to be sure because I've got a number of PSM and PC Games/PC Gamer magazines from the the late-90's and I did not want to start working on them if you'd ignore the submissions. And I thought others might have that question, too. As for the database issue, I vote* for getting someone to cobble together a mySQL-php setup. It'll be easy to add on to, and you'll be able to track the status of each magazine and sort by as many different attributes as you can come up with. Imagine, say, being able to search by the game featured on the cover, and pull up every magazine that did a cover story on Quake, or Starcraft, etc. You could even be able to track progress by the page, which I think could be handy, because I've probably got as many magazines with tears and missing pages as I do intact ones. (Man, forums have gotten really fancy since I posted on one last. I tried to do the italics in HTML at first) *-yes, I'm aware that this is my first post, you have no idea who I am, and therefore couldn't care less how I vote.
