Digital Press mention in July EGM

[norkusa]

Don't know if this is old news, but I didn't see any mention of it yet. In the back of the latest EGM (July '07) there's an article called Retro Resources that talks about where to acquire classic stuff. In the margin, there's a list of a couple retro-friendly sites to look for gams and DP is mentioned there with a nice little blurb (Ebay is listed before DP):

"...That is, unless you prefer to barter with fellow gamers rather than pawn-shop pros. In that case, stop by Digital Press, the online companion to America's longest-running classic-gaming fanzine, where an entire forum has been established specifically for the purpose of game swaps."


Nothing big but it's still kinda cool to see DP mentioned in EGM again.

Cool dp shown in a good light , unlike kotaku.

Well questionably. EGM's quality is on aa downward spiral. Still cool to have a mention.

That can't make up for getting rid of the Ask Fabio section

Yeah, with aall the typos.

What, Ask Fabio is gone?! But he was still in the June 07 issue. Is he gone for good?

Parish is good people and seems to really get the retro thing even though he seems to be NES and up...

EGM in general seems to have gotten a lot better than it used to be, and 1up.com seems to have better writing than ign or gamespot...

I miss NextGen though...

Out of curiosity, do you mean to say Kotaku portrayed DP in a negative light? What happened?

I think it made them look pretty bad, but as it is, they couldn't be more unprofessional.

I wonder why they made an article about that thread. Dont think that thread was too serious hehe.

I still chuckle at the Kotaku article:

1. Because they were having a slow news day that day.

2. Because the whole "gamers making fun of other gamers" thing is pretty damn ironic.

Why does everyone point fingers at Kotaku for this story, when they very obviously lifted it from somewhere else?

my favorite board (which is for the simpsons) was recently mentioned in playboy

I don't point any fingers at them, I just point and laugh at how lame an article it is. It don't think it would have reflected on them any differently had they originally posted it.

But the real question is who lifted it from here?

It's funny that magazine has been sitting on my countertop for three days and I never opened it. Thanks for pointing it out, I'm sure I would have missed it!

What he said.

I have no ill towards Kotaku, but they did post (or re-post) an article that is really fucking lame.

so has there been any noticeable influx of noobs joining because of that issue?

Nice to see DP mentioned in EGM, though I have a feeling this is going to lead to an increase of threads from newbies asking where the buy and sell forum is.

Good to see that such a great community is mentioned in a magazine.
