So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

For an unknown reason, the Greek version of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon series (called ΝΤΟΝΚΥ ΚΟΝΓΚ) added a smug Donkey Kong face as part of the logo that is absent from all other localizations of the cartoon, where the logo is made out of words only.

Skype is logging off.

Here you go, I've summarized it in a single graphic note card that you can refer back to later. When it's all laid out like this, it's suddenly very simple, right?
