Dear Reader,
As you may know, we’ve been running an Official Unofficial subscription drive to do a Final Fantasy Theme issue. I pinned it at 100 new subscribers and we’ll definitely do it eventually but if you’ve always wanted to hype us to a friend, now is the time.
Our cover feature this month is bizarrely, by me, on my second favorite John Carpenter movie, Escape from New York. Cover art by Tiger Wizard. Also joining us this month is Ryan Wagahoff looking back at Metal Gear Solid V.
And now, the regular people doing their regular thing. Elijah Beahm goes to hell. Jay Castello goes to The Eye. Maddi Chilton breaks up the rhythm of this joke to read some books. Emma Kostopolus also goes to hell but the space hell. Natasha Ochshorn also goes to hell but the frozen one populated entirely by billionaires. Emily Price breaks up the rhythm of this joke to do some indie games! Justin Reeve goes to Hyrule, but the hot part of it. Rob Rich breaks up the rhythm of this joke again to go to a King’s Field. Levi Rubeck goes to Pax East, again, like he does every year. Noah Springer also goes to hell, but the one that is the orthodontist office. Alyssa Wejebe goes to limbo. Autumn Wright talks to Joshua Rivera.
ICE out of our cities, ICE out of our country.
See you all in the next Exploits!
