Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I was told that I would not be resuming my daily news writer role at Insider Gaming.

So, needless to say, I am open for game journalism work. If you’re looking for a reviewer, previewer, news and/or guide writer, as well as mock reviews, please reach out. Thank you.

Yes… when I was planning my “Third Party 64” issue I definitely had the 30th anniversary of the system in mind. This is all a well thought out and not at all coincidental.

Only a few days left!

A big help that costs $0 is sharing the link and helping me spread the word with any retro gaming fans you may know. I’m a solo writer/publisher/designer/editor/etc. and this help is invaluable!
