So today I checked out The Gamer's Quarter for the first time in months... and I guess there's not really anything happening over there? A couple of friends of mine started work on a general arts/alt zine a few months ago called Ubuzine, and I guess that's mostly done, though one of them has moved and things I guess are slow if not stopped entirely [for the time being].

The one still here [for a little while longer] really quite likes video games!

I want to start a game zine that'll go around my over-tanned, highway divided city where the hills are for wineries and the cars are increasingly obese. I don't know what it'll be called. After some thought, I think it can be reasonably well done!

So, any suggestions? I'm hella new to this prospect and I don't really have any money to speak openly of. I and he could write and put together some great shit [he worked on and ran a newspaper for some years, which I wrote for last year], but contributors would be What's Really Needed. Local people would be good for ideals and such but I know in my stones that the best content comes from the IC birth canal, and really, "fresher" ideas come from far away.

I haven't talked to him about this yet, so it's definitely up in the air [I literally just thought of this about ten minutes ago], but right now I'm mainly thinking more along the lines of what people might want from this thing. So far the only thing I feel averse to is a comic section.

Got two major players in all the way now. Looking into a third, and then I think it'll be safe to say the ball is rolling.

I am all for presenting an awesome sense of fashion between myself and my friends, but I think I'll leave the fashion magazine for eden on LPN.

That's a really good idea for a feature section though!

Also, that third major player is also in 100%. This will be rad like Ray Bans and cheese crackers.

OK - so much time has passed, and many discussions have been had and blah blah blah.

I'm currently throwing together the layout for the first issue - and hopefully what will be a template for future issues.

There's a few people who are submitting article stuff, including a short kind of short-fiction disguised as sociology/video game commentary disguised as a letter to the editor. Also Katamari haiku. There's still a lot of material needed to flesh this out, though, so this is my call for submissions, I guess.
There was a Facebook call-out, but whatever. It's Facebook. [this is the group page btw http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58604990276 . discussions have been on hiatus since the core group started school again.]

Uhhhh do stuff for me for free? When it's done I'll put a colorized pdf on the net [physical copies will be shitty grainy print with black and white].

I could maybe submit an article about nostalgic youthful arcade gaming from a young British perspectice, but I'm not a very journalistic / poetic wrriter.

All I can offer at this time is an obtuse zine title of "brrzzzt blapp"

I've been writing this thing about five months with no video games but Contra 4.

It's pretty terrible so far.
