Finishing up the edit for this month's new episode (due out on 8 July), with @bazgreenland.bsky.social and @pdmon.bsky.social and the topic of DEF II comes up. Who remembers DEF II on BBC2 in the 90s?

I get really nerdy over mags as a collector as well as doing lots of pod cast interviews and print interviews in our Addict mags. Now over 70 mag guests interviewed!

Paul Monaghan @pdmon.bsky.social · Apr 27

Yep I have used stuff just like this. I have run out of room here though so keep moving full sets to my mums. But see the issue you have with those drawers- I did that as a teenager in the 90s but fucked them all up. What Lewis has done with decent bookshelves or shelving units will help also.

Paul Monaghan @pdmon.bsky.social · Apr 27

Cheers for the tag Lewis. Love seeing the big collections as it is so important to keep what we can. As you can see moisture is a big issue with mags. I do have my full sets in plastic boxes with lids and then also magazine plastic storage racks but those aren't covered.

Our next issue of Pixel Addict
has composer and BAFTA winner James Hannigan writing the cover story.

He looks at how game music has evolved over the years. From the classic chiptunes to the licensed music of Wipeout and then full orchestras. several other musicians also share their thoughts.

Currently editing the next episode of 8-Bit Back Issues and we've got @pdmon.bsky.social and @leechrimes.bsky.social chatting about Zero magazine. David Wilson is mentioned, as is 'Hold My Hand (Very Tightly)'. I'd love to put the song in the pod!
