Video game magazines!!

[Jr.]

I subscribe to Game Informer!!

While I totally disagree with their sparkling review of Suiko 4 ("At its best moments, Suikoden IV siys right up there with the most outstanding RPG's ever created!")

Sure, whatever. That can be said about just about everygame too.

Anyway, this post is about a strange letter that was sent to the staff:

"Review of page 26: Price, very good idea, but comes on line free, with Internet broadband, and continue with reviews (from the other end of the cable coax). Microsoft probably doesn't want to mix much until software with video games: I don't blame you. I understand, gives you ideas to materialize something, put some school exams there too, and we'll have general audience pleases! If it is possible, work onto rating and collateral magazines including the hydrogen technology of New Jersey. Thank you."

@_@ WTF?! I read this a few times before reading the response because I thought I didn't read it right or something. but I soon found out I wasn't alone:

"Seven times for thanking happiness the insinuated writing! Actually, if our team of elite codebreakers (aka Adam with four red bulls in him) is interpreting this letter correctly, New Jersey's hydrogen technology is poised to become the next nuclear superpower. If its diabolical endgame comes to fruition, the Garden State will soon be harvesting some homegrown, planet-wide devastation. However, we couldn't start punching everyone who says "wicked cool" just yet; the credibility of the anonymous author is in question, since this (possibly) threatening message also came with a receipt from a one-hour pharmacy. The total was $7.62 (with tax)."

A couple theories were that someone was just beiong stupid, or perhaps that person had just picked up their medication and hasn't taken it yet.

Either way, it was very funny to read so I felt I had to share it. I don't know what was on page 26 of the previous issue since I just started receiving Game Informer this month.

Anyone else subscribe to game magazines, and if so, any interesting stories from them?

I can't subscribe...because...well I'm in Nica. 0_o

But there was this one game magazine I loved! >< But they stopped publishing it.

The magazine was GameNOW. Does anybody know it? >< I only have two magazines, but man, those people were funny!! I would laugh at every review they did. One of the two I have is the last issue actually. T__T

I was able to get them because there are some places here that sell American magazines...>>

Nyahaha. I shall add hilarity. >] Might be long...o_o; Sorry...

This one is my favorite! O_O :

Review for the game "The Fairly Odd Parents: Breakin' Da Rules" (just the funny part ><)

Well, you can run, jump, fly, and perform drive-bys (not really) through comic books, videogames, and Timmy's crib---all while laying the beatdown on foolz (tackling supervillans and space monkeys). Not only is FOP phat (it looks nice), but it also keeps it real (properly brings the series into the videogame world). True dat. But yo, my only dis (negative comment) goes to the control and camera, which are both kinda whack (somewhat sluggish), and Timmy's all Fat Albert, yo (moves like a sack of bricks). Other than that, the game gets mad props, for real! (That aside, this game is kinda fun.) Hip enough for you now? Don't front. You know you want it. It's off the heazy my freezy (even polar bears dig it).

XD Man...this magazine is so fun...

Wow. Lovely could have written that review.

I like the Timmy is all Fat Albert yo! XD

And I thought it was funny that they translated for the "Bling! Bling!" impaired (me!).

Actually, that GameNow magazine was only a couple issues long, if I remember correctly. It was a second attempt at a magazine by the same people who did a longer-running magazine called GameFan. It was essentially the same magazine, but it had a larger fanbase and even a daily-updated website. However, due to funding, I guess, they had to shut it down. Unfortunately, their second attempt didn't take off. Too bad, I really liked the reviews and writers as well(How often do you get a chief editor who's favorite type of game is old top-down arcade shooters like Radiant Silvergun for the Sega Saturn)?
