Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
LA Zine Fest is around the corner, it’s next sunday and by then, I’ll have reprinted Giant Robot 1 and 2 with a separate short intro that tells you just a bit about those issues. Making copies isn’t the same as it was in 1994, you no longer have to photocopy a page and reload the machine to copy on the backside and do this until you’re done. It’s true that some machines did it all automatically, but if you’re pasting pages together, then they often get jammed. Now, you can print it digitally. Actually, someone else can print it digitally for you. That said, these two issues are a distant memory. I wish I were more nostalgic. Yet, it’s nice to see them again. It’s also a great honor to know that somehow I’ve withstood 20 years of time after the first issue of Giant Robot.

Creator Dong Nguyen took Flappy Bird back. “I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.” It went down today. Soon. If you want it, it’s time is gone. The tough game that pissed tons of people off, offended even it’s founder. Nguyen said he won’t sell it again. We’ll see if he trolls us all and makes his next game so easy, that it’ll piss us off in the opposite direction.

Yes, she’s hot. A sort of a Cindy Crawford meets Amy Winehouse, minus the crack and track mark hiding tattoos. Priyanka Chopra is a “Guess Girl”. She’s relatively unknown, but is a Bollywood star having made 40 movies (which could now be 50), and she’s now reaching out towards music in America in music, modeling and acting. She was a Miss World winner in 2000 and is now 31. Will she “make it?” Has she already made it? Does she need this? We’ll see fairly soon if her songs hit, but meanwhile she’ll be looking good in black and white in Guess ads. Anyone know where they advertise these days? (New York Times)
