Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Anyone remember this mid-90s gem? I was a new immigrant to the States and money was short, but somehow I cajoled my mom into buying me this thing every time we went to get groceries at the Stop & Shop.

Anyone else read it? I can't find any web info on it other than the wiki link above, seems it was just a bit before the rise of the web.
The were somewhat of a crossover between EGM/Wizard/Rolling Stones/Toy Faire with a liberal application of the "rule of cool". I am not sure, but I think what ultimately got them canned is parent complaints about the "don't ever do this" section that was a very subversive "do this because it's hillarious and naughty" accompanied with visuals representing the activity. I.e. Don't ever spray someneone with a watergun filled with pomegranite juice because it's super sticky and insects love it. When visiting a rival school for some sports function, don't pee on their radiators because when it dries up it smells real bad. etc...

i can't imagine why it only lasted 7 issues...
I thought it was a great way to get all the entertainment info (comics, movies, video games, tv, music, etc...) for price of one magazine.
Also, I never took the "dont ever do this" section as serious "go ahead and do this" but more of a fun "what if" scenario.
