Late Fees

So, Blockbuster is going to get rid of late fees entirely. Wow. What a move. That's gonna ruin their income stream, I'd bet. they must seriously be losig customers. Perhaps it has something to do with the shitty selection in their stores.

the first info is in on my last issue of Game Developer magazine, and it's quite good. While the rest of the magazine industry evaporates ( Ziff and IDG shitting all over themselves this week, three mags die as a result) it's nice to see someone actually chatting about my mag in a nice way. This lady certainly liked the postmortem, and a number of other folks have had some kind words so far. I genuinely feel that I will be vindicated. GameDaily died for a reason, folks. the games industry folk grew up on Nintendo Power and GamePro, so their standards may be low, but they certainly prefer interesting writing to that generic lifeless crap that you see in Network magazines and the like. everyone keeps saying that the fucking industry requires people to be passionate about games. Well, then why the fuck can't they have a magazine that is too? Network week is not passionate about network security. They are passionate about news and tips.

Bah, whatever. i'll get to put my hands on the issue shortly, and that's all that matters.
