~Official Nintendo Magazine~
Februray 2006 - October 2014
The the original NOM (Nintendo Official Magazine) ran during 1992 I've been buying them since 98ish I haven't kept those though but after a clear out of my room after I got my new bed I consciously decided to keep the First of the revamped magazine only to find out that days after I throw out the rest of my mags I read they where to stop publishing
It's been great, I got sooooo many poster and nintendo themed items from them like my Nintendo Beanie or my Mario Mouse mat. Issue 115 came with "the best off" list and a double-sided poster.
I already have a smaller version of the Super Mario Galaxy cover but on the other side, I think is by far the best
It's a full portrait version but it's this one. 
At least the website is up but it's not the same 
Laptop Cooling Fan
It's pretty cool (harhar) does a good job of stopping my laptop from getting too hot and it's quite quiet as well.
Games
I've been playing Windwaker HD for the past few days and i'm really impressed with the visuals, the ambient lighting and shading are soo good. The controls get some getting used to with certain functions, I had no ideas that you could do selfies in this game and I don't remember much who hoha about it either with is surprising but i've already picked up some bottles and am loving the few I've seen. I'm finding it easier to play than the first time and i'm begging to notice the shorter sailing times but that may take a little something away, a sense of vastness, which when you think about it is very ambitious of Ninty back then.
I've Recently saw some of the hidden Characters in SSB4 and Ganon might have a sword attack however that might just be wishful thinking.
Super Mario Kart 8 should be arriving this weekend, it should have been here by yesterday but life sucks.
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- has a release date... in America. (Gits) This December on PS3 and 4, there will be a Limited Edition, what it has I do not know but I am buying it, because it has cross platform online play I may buy the cheapest Limited Edition and the regular on the opposite console. It's not like I need to give my family presents or anything...
I played the Bayonetta demo a few times and I've preordered the Double game pack at a decent price. It'll be released next week or so.
Comics
I haven't talked about this topic for a while (to my shame) so i'll give you the highlights
Be cool guys, I've got sleeping to do (if I can).
This is V saying "It's Alright"
I was really sad when Nintendo Power, which started publication in the US in 1988, was finally shuttered in December of 2012. Other than EGM/1UP and Pixlbit, it was the only gaming publication, printed or online, that I really gave a damn about.
Wind Waker HD is awesome. I've played it more than any other game released on the Wii U/PS4/Xbox One so far.
Not to sound like I'm gloating, but I'm excited about GGXrd: Sign getting a release date and will be picking it up.
Aside from the fact I haven't played Win Waker HD but still have the original game, this comment is a lot of what mine was going to be so I'll just say "what he said." lol
I'll add that I love the Smash Bros. Abby Road image and Young Link could have been better positioned in that other poster so it didn't look like older Link's crotch had given birth to him angrily (cool picture otherwise though). lol
Also, is that second-to-last image a Sabrina the Teenage Witch comic?
Yes, that is a Sabrina the Teenage Witch Comic. It's already sold out, so wait for a trade
It's a little creepy how the Animal crossing chararcter is stairing right out you
Haven't read a gaming mag for years now.
I miss video game magazines. I majored in Magazine Journalism in college so I could write for one someday. It was a good idea at the time, but now it seems kind of stupid.
Shame about the mag.
You need to organize your blog formating though. The text is going over the right sidebar 
(atleast for me).
Yeah that was the images pushing the borders. FIXED
Anyway, it is a shame but it had a good run
Hey I think I have the same laptop fan for my PC Laptop. That laptop used to feel like it was on fire when it was running but after that fan, no complaints. Its a shame a lot of physical magazines are being phased out. I like the convience of digital magazines, but there is always some thing that feels right holding physical media.
I think we are al going to regret the day when magazines vanish from the past. Even if we digitial store them, there is nothing like holding a magazine in your hand and thumbing thru the pages. It makes me wonder if this is what eldarly people think when it comes to saving all of those newspapers they get since they grew up.
