1 小时 27 分钟I want to tell you about A Profound Waste of Time, the world's leading independently produced magazine that celebrates video games as an art form.
Since 2017, this annual award winning publication has combined insightful and knowledgeable writing with exquisite illustrations from some of the world's foremost artists.
Right now, you can order a copy of issue 5 on Kickstarter.
For this issue's cover story, former Edge editor Margaret Robertson visits Vanillaware, the Japanese studio behind the recent hit Unicorn Overlord.
There will also be interviews with Yut Saito, creator of Seaman Kota Takahashi, one of the composers behind Ridge Racer 4's iconic soundtrack, and a look at how young designers are injecting new life into the Dreamcast's VMU search for A Profound Waste of Time on Kickstarter to back this beautiful magazine, which is printed to the highest possible specifications.
