1-Up MegaZine
is the print zine I publish on video game culture and personal experiences with technology. I ALSO DON'T USE MYSPACE ANYMORE, so please email me (fo' real) instead.

Preview of 1-Up #4. Cooperative classic gaming! Can you get to The Zone as 2-players? Or would you be in someone else's Zone?

OneLifeLeft is a weekly UK radio show on video games, for which I created "Up Up Down Down Left Right AB LA Start", a sort of "This American (Gaming) life" if there was such a thing.
