Magazines (as in Periodical Publication, not Ammunition Holder)

I have a lot of old magazines back at my parents' place: mostly gaming stuff, a lot of comics too. A couple of shelves are stuffed with paper that's going to rot unless I take care of it properly, which I should1... I had my publications I followed religiously, and then those I bought on and off, when they had a cool cover or an article on something I was particularly interested in. The reason I disliked Final Fantasy X so much at launch was that I read about Blitzball on a PlayStation magazine I bought on a whim, fell in love with the concept and then discovered in game that Blitzball actually sucks. Why would a major publication lie to me about how good the next big game is? I can't believe this! Little me couldn't believe it either. These guys are professionals! They would never publish a wrong take! But that's not what I want to talk about today, especially because nowadays I enjoy reading personal pieces about gaming and the precious opinions of my close friends. Bless them all.…
