WHO WANTS A GBATEMP EBOOK GAMING MAGZINE!?!

[tagzard]

Okay so I thought that it would be a good idea if Gbatemp has Virtual magazine! Like the way game informer is formatted. This is how I see it. A few members are elected to be the magazine editors. The edit it and stuff. Them some other members are the reviewers. They make a review of the game and rate it from a rating system (stars, numbers, ect...) They add pictures and stuff of the game. Then it is made into a ebook and published on a ebook publishing website. The reviews should somewhat look like this: [attachment=680:IMG_08831.JPG]

And there can be adds in the ebooks to. Like websites homebrew and stuff (self stuff).

IT HAS TO BE VIEWABLE ON A IPOD TOUCH/IPAD/IPHONE/PC/EREADERS/ect...


Good idea? You can post some of your idea to make it awesome.


EDIT: It will come out once a month. And it has to be free.

Want!

Just one stipulation: there has to be a Temper of the Month column.
And it has to be viewable on the DS AND PC, so maybe an eBook format and a PDF?

Hehe, lied about the 1 stipulation.

EDIT: Guild, that might be because no one knows what you're talking about, there's no attachment in any post.

How the review SHOULD look

Can't wait, two weeks old news all into one magazine viewable on iOS!!!

I love this idea and hope it becomes a reality. It will also serve another purpose, getting the GBAtemp name out there more so than it is now. Good luck and I look forward to see where this idea goes. I can see it now...reading gbatemp ebook on my 3DS...good stuff! :biggrin:

Also a magazine will come out once a month.

Tagzard, I see you live in Chicago. I used to live in Downers Grove and at one time in Countryside. I went to Lyons Township High School. Where exactly are you located? Go Sox!!

I can't download the attachment for some reason. Upload it to the Gallery or something.

I want to erm... "view" this "fine production".

Sure. Let me upload it to a uploading service site.

+1 Will add.

I like the idea. Instead of browsing the forums endlessly for the information about games and homebrew we could include it in the magazine for better compact viewing.
But please not just iOS.

Fixed

Awesome I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

Wait, it's just a picture of an existing gaming magazine, not like a rough draft of this one?

Good luck getting a team of graphic designers, editors, and writers. I'm sure that'll be possible.

This is a idea. Someone wil feed off of it. Let me draw a draft of what the REVIEW part should look like. I have no idea what the other parts should look like.

I can help edit. My brother is a major grammar Nazi.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to see this. What's the point of the mobile site, then?

I was thinking for off-line viewing/other devices can read them.

In this day and age when 3G and 4G, as well as free Wi-Fi spans across the majority of the globe, off-line reading is kind of moot. It's a noble effort... I just don't really see it happening.

Sorry!

Then explain to me "why we have a podcast? Can't we just use the news forum" That is how I see your argument.

The podcast just repeats the news forum. There is no need for it. However, there is (some) demand for it.

If this can rack up some demand, I see no reason why it wouldn't be successful. I just wouldn't use it. One out of many won't really affect anything.
