PAX Prime and Attract Mode Mob

Corey Lewis and his Ryu ad

Hey, we're at PAX Prime! If you are there, come hang out with us. We are in the corner of Band Land, right next to the Anamanaguchi table. We have loads of cool, NEW stuff and about 10 people crammed behind a regular fold out table.

2 Player Productions, being the supremely classy men they are, invited us to join them again at their PAX table. On top of getting a free table, we were fortunate to have Fangamer offer to drive through LA and transport all our merch for us! We knew they were cool doods, but we have since discovered that they are all that is good and right in this videogame scene. You owe it to yourself to check out their site and treat yourself to piles of incredible game gear.

We invited cool kids Corey Lewis, Angie Wang, Cory Schmitz and Maré Odomo to hang out at our booth and sell their game prints, comics, art, etc. They brought the GOODS: Killer7 t-shirt, Darkstalkers print, Street Fighter print, Pokemon comic, pins, and loads more. Today we're going to have LSDJ carts at the table along with a bunch of modded Game Boys and other hacked chip music gear. Plus, you can grab the third issue of FORT90ZINE, and Japanese zines 8bit love and The Eightbit Fighters Chronicles vol. 1. The icing on the cake: Canabalt print by Adam Saltsman and prototype Eliss scarves by Steph Thirion x LoomLab x Attract Mode.

Boo. Yah.

Hidden Bonus: Mention this post to me at PAX and get $10 off any order over $50.

FORT90ZINE #3 Approaches

FORT90ZINE #3 ON SALE APRIL 2010

Less than a month from now you'll be able to read the latest issue of FORT90ZINE, the publication that helped spark the videogame zine renaissance currently in effect. Matt Hawkins, Attract Mode's recent +1, is the man behind the mag, and this issue looks BOMPIN'. It contains contributions from Tiny Cartridge all-star Eric Caoili, Brian Liloia, Hilary Florido, and Mariel Cartwright aka kinuko. That's Mariel's wrap-around cover design above, minus all the text and the transparent stripe.

Now that you are frothing with anticipation, head over to the shop and pick up FORT90ZINE Issue 1 and Issue 2. They are just as relevant now as they were the day they were printed.
