portabilizer, weekly or monthly

Post by BloodNess »

a few guys should team up and make that mag, it would include:

-the latest portables by veryone here

-updates on the status of works in progress

-a little catalog ,complete with leds,screens,heck,the trading post in print-but more detailed

-news about rumors(nintendo's official GCp,that kid with the x-360 etc.)

-and tips on soldering,modding screens,wiring menaces

I even made a special cover for "issue of firsts:

One thing I should bring us is that we dont have a lot of news. Even a monthy mag would be very thin. I think quarterly would work better. Otherwise its sounds like something to go into.

just wait till the winter comes more people seam to have time to waste then... (looks at box full of half built portables)

and to make a magazine.. thats pritty simple actualy.. if any of you has experiance making a website (the content any ways) its just publishing thats the hard part but one could make a ton of coppys and mail them or email the publications to people.. I like the normal mailing list though.. that way some one could make some money off of it, and people woiuld have a tangeble resorce.. you could include tips guides and parts catolouge.. and any one trying to sell PSUs or screens or some damed thing could advertize in the back... Oh one can dream
