+Cafeman Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Read it. Enjoyed it. Especially like the personal touches -- for example the Phoenix Is My Game! article which chronicles a gamer's attempts to set a world record on Phoenix , not a news blurb but from first-person perspective. I also plan to check out the online game reviews from home sometime. BATARI was nice to see but it's nothing new to me, I check out the forums here plenty on that subject. Tell Tom to keep trying to get funnier on his comics. Perhaps he can have "Adventure of PIGBEAR". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Cafeman! Let me tell you, the praise that I have been getting has been overwelming and I am for sure very grateful! Everyone - from Walter Day to a reader from Australia! Incredible! This was my very first article that I ever wrote. I have done a couple game reviews in the past though. So, with it not only being my first professional article, but with the great praise I have been recieving, I am very happy. Now, since I don't have a job, maybe someone will offer me a job? I really want to say thanks to Bryan for asking me to write an article in the first place. Here's the link to my live world record attempt on July 18: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/zimmzamm'...-record-attempt This might change, but for now that is where it is at. Hope everyone will have a chance to watch it or come to the event and witness hopefully the new world record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contest news coming soon Acuatually, the contests will be detailed in the June issue of RTM, but will be promoted outside of RTM this month without details, just telling people to watch for details in the June issue There will be two contests: 1. For a free general admissions ticket to the show, which gets you in a 9:00AM (which is the time Paul Zimmerman will be going for the record Phoenix score) 2. For 2 tables at the show Edited May 7, 2009 by Toucan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 2 tables at the show that is correct, and just to clarify one thing if I may, the winners will receive their tickets by e-mail (it will be the confirmation e-mail they will receive from The EventBrite site,they must bring it to the show to gain admission,or at least an ID ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
