Burying the Lede is a (hopefully) daily collection of interesting game-journalism-related links I’ve come across that don’t require a full post but that I still wanted to share.
- How do you get people to try out a new video game magazine associated with a major retail chain? Well, $145 in coupons ought to do it. (Hits stores June 27, by the by).
- When this happened I was seven and would have given my left arm to cover it as a journalist.
- If someone made a tumblr account full of classic GamePro ProTips like this one, I would not be at all unhappy (I’d do it myself but all my old GamePro’s are trapped at my parents’ house an ocean away).
- Which late night host says that, at his show, “we treat video games like we treat movies“? Ten brownie points if you can guess before you click.
- In the future, the idea of journalistts going to E3 will be made somewhat obsolete by gamers cutting out the middle mane and attending the show virtually.
It looks like the player in that ProTip is looking at the business end of a rocket. Awesome Tip!
