Darn you with your two covers . . . must fight urge to get both . . .
Hey SunTeam_Paul, Just out of curosity, how long are you goin to be offering these?
Also these look pretty darn amazing so far.
These are being printed on demand per order so I'm offering for as long as people want them (can't promise no price increases though - damn paper mills keep pushing up the paper costs).
Beautiful (https://junk.tg-16.com/images/phone.png).
Ooh this makes me excited.
Just ordered star parodier cover.
Keep up the good work bud. As for suggestions for the next issue, how about collector pics and interviews. I miss them in Retrogamer. You have so many opportunities with this. If you do it right and we in turn keep supporting, who knows where this will go!
Sunteam_paul for prime minister!!!!!!!

Jesus! You are kidding right? Why not do a quarterly issue, or is it super time consuming to produce content for these?
Anyway, I'll be there supporting issue 2 all the way!!!!
Quote from: Halfabag on 11/27/2013, 05:09 PMJesus! You are kidding right? Why not do a quarterly issue, or is it super time consuming to produce content for these?
Yes it is! The contents of volume 1 go back to July 2010...hopefully I can speed up a bit to fill volume 2, I'm terribly lazy when it comes to writing.
My copy has arrived, great product :-)
Would be interested to know when the first US orders arrive.
received the first issue today, awesome. :)
is it possible to order a second issue of the first mag? with the alternate cover?
Arrived here in Sweden as well : )
Sweeet~ the printing quality is really good.
Just out of curiosity, how many have you shipped out at this point?

Yes, just place a new order with the required details.
Quote from: JoshTurboTrollX-16 on 12/03/2013, 10:57 AMJust out of curiosity, how many have you shipped out at this point?
Over 40 have been posted. I do them every few days while I wait for the printing to catch up.
Sunteam, Mine came yesterday here in the US.
Very cool. Printing is great, and the art style looks just great in actual print. Looks great with the game stuff as well, and the cheat guide to reading Japanese has come in handy already.
Thanks!

What are your initials so I can cross reference when yours was sent out and get an idea of the postal times?

BZ in NJ

I read a lot articles before, but a book?
it's wonderful! a very nice printing and colors!
waiting for volume 2!!
thank you!!
Got my copy in sometime in the last week. I came home from a short trip to a nice surprise in my box! Cant wait to read it, looks so awesome so far!
Just arrived yesterday!!
JJ in WI
Woot! I got mine!
It's got a weird sewery smell, so I can only assume that it landed in a NJ port to go through customs. I'm sure it'll air out soon enough. :mrgreen:

Sprinkle some baking soda on it, Necro.
Then you will discover that baking soda can't compete with NJ.
I too received mine, free of any displeasing odor. I have to say, IT'S AMAZING! Thanks so much Paul, excellent, excellent work!
Thanks to everyone who bought it, I'm really starting to fell the pressure to begin volume 2 now...
Received mine today. Very nice! Thanks for putting all the effort into this.
Is this new content or a compilation of an existing magazine?
Quote from: guest on 12/28/2013, 09:01 AMIs this new content or a compilation of an existing magazine?
Mostly compilation of existing material, but some new content + tweaking of layout.
It is most worthy of purchase. :pcgs:
Seriously thinking about getting this. Now after seeing how much people like it, I really think I will.... :)
do so Bernie, its awesome. i bought both versions. :)
Order sent! Y's cover for me! :dance:
Quote from: guest on 12/28/2013, 02:21 PMOrder sent! Ys cover for me! :dance:
You will not be disappointed. :pcgs:
Hey Paul... these look great. Email sent for one... :)
Both covers are cool, but I went for Star Parodier.
Just sent you a email!!!
Got mine today! I expected it to be a little larger, like a normal magazine size, but there is a WHOLE lot of goodness packed in this book. The quality is excellent, and the amount of time and love you put into this is very apparent. Outstanding job sir!
Now start on volume 2!!! :D

I did begin with it as A4 (twice the size) but it just didn't fit together well that size and looks a lot better as it is now.
So..., how's volume 2 coming along?
Quote from: Bardoly on 05/01/2014, 03:40 PMSo..., how's volume 2 coming along?
I was wondering the same. I really enjoy the first one. :)
Paul, are these still available?
Yeah, he has em on his pcengine bible site.

I've almost written one review :)
Please note that the Star Parodier cover will be discontinued at the end of the month. If you want one of those, get your order in soon.
Will the Ys cover still be available? I may hold out for it once I get the monies.
Yes, the Ys cover will be the only cover you can have.

Thanks for the update on that. I wanted that cover, guess i better not wait much longer!
I might even throw in something a little extra for the new orders (unless I get really lazy).
