So, what the heck is this all about?<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month, I figured it’d make sense to start cleaning out stuff I haven’t any need for. I’ve got a broken Dreamcast that needs fixed and disposed of; I’ve a cupboard full of action figures that a charity shop would love; I still haven’t budged my old dead computer…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Evidently, I decided my ancient catalogue of Nintendo magazines (spanning 1997 to 2005!) need to go.<\/p>\n

Somewhere along the line, “let’s get rid of these!” turned into “let’s read all of these and scan all the interesting bits!”… and a week and a half later, I’d gone through my entire collection and had made around six hundred scans. I, uh, think<\/em> my reasoning was, “if I get rid of these, at least I can still look back at the worthwhile content,” though I think it was just a desperate craving for something to do<\/strong>, no matter how stupid.
\nLike, I could have looked for something a bit more productive to do, but that would’ve required searching<\/strong> for work. And a minute searching for work is a minute that could have been spent doing<\/strong> work. Quick, what’s the most accessible thing to work on? A shitload of Nintendo magazines need scanning? LET’S GET CRACKIN’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

So, um, there we are. While looking through the mags there were lots of interesting little snippets here and there – old news that I’d forgotten about, amusing reviews, entertaining features, or just plain ol’ mid-90s magazine madness. And I thought, “you know, if I play up my one redeeming trait and be a snarky git over these highlights, that could make an interesting feature!” Riff then, critique them, commentate on them, whatever makes for an amusing column. I can’t guarantee any of it will be any good<\/em>, but what the heck, it’ll give me something to do and it’ll give the website some scheduled updates for once!<\/p>\n

ONM Remembered<\/strong> will run every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday if this WordPress schedule thing works for me. I hope you enjoy it! (and I most certainly hope the magazine’s legal team take it it in good humour!)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
