Cool, I look forward to reading more of your insightful musings.

By the way, I am really enjoying the blogs you guys are putting out. I’ve never been a big fan of message boards so I’ve never registered on there but I have been listening since the beginning of the podcast. I look forward to hearing from you guys more through the blogs.

@Chris O It's possible, but that site isn't actually mine. I believe one of my co-editors (Jason Whitman) owns the domain. But I'll drop him a line and see what could be done with that.

Any chance of getting the rest of the Paradox issues up online?

Wow, look at video cowboy.

I enjoyed sitting next to you for that year or so at the twilight of your EGM time, CJ, you certainly knew your shit!

Haha. Ahh, youth. That was part of my pitch — hire me, a 15-year-old at that point, so you can stop being so ‘childish’ and become a real gamer’s magazine. Kidding.

What’s Todd Mowatt ticked about?

edit: n/m didn’t catch those comments at the end.

Wow, so I looked at the first issue of the fanzine on the paradox website and in one of the responses to one of the letters, you wrote that you didn’t even think EGM was a real gamers magazine. It’s a wonder they hired you! The next time I am looking for a job, I’ll be sure to insult them. If if works for CJ, it can work for me.

Do you know this Todd Mowatt, CJ? He seemed pretty pissed.

I have that issue somewhere, but I think it may be at my Fathers house. I’ll search it out next time I’m over there.
