I moved all of my stuff over to cargo

Intro for a videogame show I’m working on right now.

I was inspired by this quote, might do posters of this.

The thought of doing a videogames magazine all by myself has been in and around my brain for quite some time now, but Sénior Procrastination always kept me from really doing it. A few months ago I saw that Cory Schmitz was gathering founds for his magazine called EXP and if a fellow graphic designer can do it, so can I!

In the last four years gaming blogs grew so big that huge magazines had to stop publishing or had massive cuts in sales, why make a magazine then?

Blogs are very good at delivering news quickly but struggle at presenting feature pieces. There are two big problems with feature articles on blogs, firstly they get washed away by the flood of news very quickly. The beautiful article that took ages to write and edit disappears from the frontpage of a website after a couple of minutes. Secondly, it is very hard to design a website in a way that suits a lot of different types of articles, that’s a problem that is just non existent in print media.

There are some attempts on fixing that second issue, but it’s still not quite where it should be.

Focusing on the strengths of print media is what I want to do with this magazine. On top of that, I just love the smell of ink on paper!

I’ve started a tumblr blog that will be kind of like a dev blog for the magazine, I will try to document the process of building a magazine as well as possible.

I already have a couple of writers and artists that are going to be featured in the magazine but if you just now got inspired for a great piece of art or an interesting article, just get in contact via email (d.o.carneiro@gmail.com) or twitter.

This project is a first timer for me, I will definitely make many mistakes, but life would be less colourful without them.

I’ve been doing some journalisms at gamescom and PAX this year!
Thanks to the lovely Hollie, Niero and Hamza I had the chance to do video interviews and impressions for my favortite gaming website Destructoid.com

You can watch the videos at Destructoids originals section since we’re pretty much ruling it right now. I’ll be uploading HD versions of my videos as soon as I got some sleep.

So, I’ve been doing some podcasting for Destructoid. Besides being talking on the show, I’ve been doing all of the artwork for the shows. You can check us out on iTunes, twitter, our blog thingy and of course on dtoid.

I filmed around a bit at the megaspree demonstration (http://blog.megaspree.de) with my new iPhone and the camera is actually pretty good, much better than I expected from a cellphone.

Music is by Mount Kimbie (http://myspace.com/mountkimbie), get their album ‘Crooks & Lovers’, it’s the best record I’ve heard this year!

The Dtoid UK community payed the furries and weeaboos at MCM Expo in London a visit.

Food for your senses festival was pretty amazing this year, the festival just keeps growing and growing!

Kudos to the guys from tuntange for making this thing happen every year.
