I'm in the Electronic Gaming Monthly Compendium + BIG Announcement

[@tarn8675309]

That's awesome! Congratulations! I'll definitely pick it up when it releases.

[@Wallace007-q1x]

Sounds awesome! I didn't read much EGM back in the 90's/early 2000s but I did enjoy it when I did read it.

[@scas97]

This is simply amazing! Congrats for this awesome project and for the channel!

[@ignignol]

Awesome! I love the channel and I love EGM so I backed the book as soon as it went up on KS. Congrats on your inclusion.

[@slapbass9125]

Your "Interview Reenactments" series is really great! And more people should watch them. Its basically voiceover for Interviews in old magazines with influential people in the gaming industry. Its a interesting window into the past. This is a really great channel! Congrats!

[@DefunctGames]

Now that's a blast from the past. Those Interview Reenactments were fun to put together, even if they didn't get a ton of traction. It's tough when it's just audio in a visual medium. I find those interviews to be endlessly fascinating, and so many of them shed light on a pivotal time in gaming history. Thanks for the kind words and support. It means a lot.

I had seen this going around! been a big fan of the mag ever since that february in 1993 when I got my first sub issue with the half-naked Bubsy on the cover! I did alert my close friends to the kickstarter and it got a plug on their recent podcast, so might get a few more folks to back it. hell I might throw 15 bucks at it just so I have it digitally! should hopefully have time before it ends next month. sounds amazing I can't wait to read it.

[@kevincullen13]

As someone who had zero interactions with gaming magazines growing up I always find your content surrounding them so fascinating because otherwise it's such a blindspot for me. It's great to see you are involved in yet another project that helps preserve the legacy of these publications so that the special attachment many have to them shall not be lost to time.

[@estebancruz6194]

Cool, love retro gaming mgzines, can’t wait. Couldn’t afford EGM back in the day. Only had a couple of issues that I carried with me everywhere I went. So this is a must for me.

[@Bean-525]

I was going to back this anyway, but now,knowing that someone as passionate as you are ALSO contributing, it’s a “shut up and take my money” situation. Thank you for being informative about the KS, and not “shill-y”. The words “digital archive” practically have me salivating!

[@GameEnthus]

Congrats

[@stug5041]

Congrats on being a part of this - backed it the second I heard about it, EGM and EGM2 were my all time faves, this is so awesome

[@jonwolfenden]

Absolutely adored EGM. I subscribed from 1995 till their second death. This looks like something I’d greatly enjoy.

[@shannonbateswillis5022]

No Way! I’ve been watching your videos since your review of Full Mojo Rampage! To put that in perspective, I was still in high school! Thank you for telling me this! I just have one more question: if you were ordering the digital version, would you splurge the extra $10 for access to the digital database?

[@DefunctGames]

You definitely want the digital database. I've had access to the "beta" version of it, and it has been a real life-saver when it comes to making EGM-related videos. Clean, easy to use and a great filtered search. I can't wait to talk more about it in the near future.

[@jamessnedeker4799]

Ahh, now they can shed some light on the mysterious Sushi-X. but I'm on board.

[@jwrfb26]

Congratulations! Knowing what a huge fan you are, having to hold onto that for months must have been painful.

[@TravisBolek]

I definitely backed this Kickstarter. EGM is my favorite gaming mag and I would love to read some behind the scenes stuff, have access to the digital archives, and get a whole brand new issue! Plus seeing one of my favorite KZbinrs in there is a nice treat.

[@jodrano9356]

My mom just passed the day before Thanksgiving. She used to buy me this magazine. Almost every month. Even got me a subscription. I’ll be getting this.

[@maxstoner5527]

This is cool. I’ve bought and read gaming magazines for at least 30 years now and still do. And I like watching Sega lord X, John Riggs and yourself a whole lot too. Cheers guys for the entertainment.

[@steelcurtain187]

This sounds super awesome. I hadn’t heard about it and appreciate you mentioning it. I had a subscription to EGM for most of the 90’s and about til it ended. I am definitely interested in this!

[@goranisacson2502]

Ha, so much for my tip back then :) While I'm Swedish and so didn't read EGM growing up I am a huge fan of the game magazines I did read while growing up, and so I backed it when I saw it- great chance to catch up on what the Americans read, and how it differs from what I grew up with.

[@palmtreeguy4706]

Purchased!!! Thanks for letting me know!

[@gedaman]

When is this book planned to come out? I will be going to Barnes & Noble to get it. This is something I want to buy in store instead of ordering from Amazon or somewhere else online.

[@jodrano9356]

Totally going to support it late

[@gamingtv394]

I want to buy this. since I have all the original Issues. This definitely appeals to me

[@PNWDOM]

Where's Sushi-X?

[@DefunctGames]

He'll be in the book. They won't leave him out.

[@cyxceven]

That's awesome! Congrats! I love EGM. I'll try to make a contribution to the KS.

[@Digital_Necromancer]

If this is digital only i ain't interested

[@DefunctGames]

It's not digital only. You can get a physical book.
