And here it is, the ONE THOUSANDTH file on Retromags!!!

Great simple eye-catching cover, making for an interesting sort of time capsule of seven years of console gaming. And lulz at the image of (and comment on) the Xbox. Also dig the artist conception of what Nintendo's Dolphin (man, wasn't that a stupid name?) might look like on page 93. It looks less like a console and more like a postmodern blue bathroom scale with a Nintendo 64 controller inexplicably attached to it.

This issue benefited a lot from the heat gun. For example on pages 84 & 85 there would have been two words entirely lost in the gutter if I didn't use one. They really free-wheeled that composition without much concern for the spine. There were also a lot of pages that I could stitch and edit together. It doesn't always work out that way. In issue 59 I couldn't do it for any because there just wasn't enough information. If you compare this issue with that issue it looks like I cut out a lot in 59, but I didn't, I got the entire page.

Oh! And aside from being the 1000th issue uploaded to Retromags, it's my 101st. :)
