I haven't had time to read RetroGamer in AGES.
I have a pile of issues, about 7/8 high, completely unread.
I buy it every month, flick to the back, get a bit mopey 'cos I'm not in it again, quickly flick through looking at screenshots, then sling it on the pile so I can "read it later".
To be honest, I haven't really read anything in about 2 years.
I used to read loads. I was an avid reader..
But then, one day, I just stopped..
I still have that page bookmarked, from when I was reading the Battle Royale novel, and.. *shrugs*
I could probably check the chatlogs to find the actual date for that, but it'd involve flicking back through months worth of chatlogs, just to track it down.
And I can't be arsed reading all of that!
Sod that..
..
Why the hell am I still buying this magazine!?
btw, in the section to the right, I did indeed forget the 's in my original question… *sigh* Can't even ask a question right!
Waroffice made a nice little flag type thing, that shows when he has email!
Damn, that's SO fucking cool!!
I sometimes wish I wasn't so shit at electronics and things. socoder.net/?topic=2503

His job isn't making little flags for people's emails.
.. .. or, I don't think that's his job, anyway..? socoder.net/?topic=2415

Having shifted to a brand new server, PMC's faster than ever before!
They've added a great new Rotate/Transform set of functions, bolstered up their Profile stuff, and even added a new tab that explains what PMC is! bit.ly/oNZ7Iz
Meanwhile, New member Cosine has built a nice little highscore-beating game called Bouncery. bit.ly/o8UyCi

Kaizen's having a bit of a tough time at the minute, with hacks galore.
It amazes me that people would attack a site which only exists to bring fantastic games to their attention.
WTF is with people?!
Anyhoo, ignoring that, (because Kaizen's found a proper web-code-monkey to help fix things) here's a lovely golf game that reminds me of ZanyGolf on the Amiga. bit.ly/q8x14V

A lovely little Mario clone with oodles to do! bit.ly/p8iV1R

Spinal recreates Spike Dislike, as Nintendo DS Homebrew!
Awesome!!! bit.ly/re6n2q

; How to Fix a Broken Game
@VDichotomy
Lets imagine you have a really awesome game, but one feature let it down really really badly.
The simplest way to fix it, would simply be to strip out that feature, right?!
.. .. right?!! bit.ly/qWxnI5
; FUCKITY FUCK FUCK!
@celsiusgs
Disaster of an idea.
Really pisses off the people who pay.
May as well be pirates. bit.ly/pEcJYt
Or, rather, they would be, except for one small thing.
Every time I look at them, I can't help but think..
"Hey, Hang on, didn't DD make a tool for that!?" https://bit.ly/qMzTPU
