Best line in the whole issue.
The review for SMB neglects to mention, however, that it is my most-downloaded game and that I warn the user on the download page of its manifold abominations.

In the Commentary of PoD, there's a spot where the same image is placed twice. Wasn't such a bad issue either. If it's not too late, I'd like to sign up for the next issue's cover.

(Was left out mostly because of lack of time and unreliable internet access)
Next month we'll see a triple-feature. I figure that's a good enough trade. |

Ah, the OHR News sections is a good idea: I was missing it in the previous issues (OHR Weekly had it (surprising they managed to find content)). I've read through and like the features (the part of the magazine I read most). Keep digging up old/unknown games.
There's no link back to the HamsterSpeak archives: I suggest adding it to the Links.

| Quote: | Unfortunately all the annoyances related to permadeath simply outweigh its benefits. On top of the frustration of just dying, the game makes you sit through a two minute cutscene with no option of skipping it. After that it starts the first floor which is possibly the game's biggest aggravation. It's filled with 10-15 (possibly more) random encounters which are generally easy depending on your character build, with the only goal being to walk to one side of the room, flip a switch, and walk to the other side to fight the boss. I counted roughly thirteen minutes to reach the boss, but you'll generally have to reload the floor and fight all the battles again in order to beat him. So that's basically thirty minutes of dull button mashing battles just to get to a less mentally insulting floor.
Ultimately the game smacks of a development team failing to bring in people outside of the team to point out obvious problems that are nearly invisible to its creators. |

GAH.
It's true. I should have gotten other people to look at it before release. Ah well; now I know more things to do for the update. Looks like it doesn't pay to get so excited about releasing a game that you don't release it properly.
Great issue here! Keep it up. |

Even though I called it, it'd be cooler for Battleblaze to do the cover so there's a wider variety on the artists. I oughta have a few articles for the next issue.
