Play already has the best name in the gaming mag industry because it's a euphamism for sex.

You know because they have the Ultimate Power and ninjas are good at flipping out and shit. And ninjas are fucking LEET.

If I make a serious contribution to the title, I'll make sure it's hush hush.

Damn it...where's my ninja shirt?? It's time to assemble!

Re: potential game title

I concur with Haoh's statement.

If Halverson keeps running magazines into the ground and he has such a bad rep, how does he manage to keep starting magazines? I can't believe he hasn't been black balled out of the industry.

He's got secret trust funds or something...

djpubba, I love the fact that your spearheading this idea of yours and I really hope it takes off. I've been in need of a great magazine to read since GF finally left...I don't even pick up any mags anymore as I find most of them pretty much suck. I'd offer my services to help out, but it seems there's already tons of people involved as is.

Good luck, and please don't pull a Halverson and sell to the highest bidder.

Now I want more stories, dammit!

That is truly a friggin' mystery. He is able to bullshit new people I suppose...

Yo locs... It's Jeremy... good to see everyone is still alive... Fuckin trip down memory lane reading these stories. Spent a good 3-4 years of my life in Halver-Land and glad to have escaped with my sanity. Still gotta be thankful to the guy, had it not been for him I would have never had the chance to discover graphic design... I would probably still be out vandalizing shit...

Happy 2005
