Opening theme:

YT Cracker, “N.E.S.”

The Depreciation Guild, “In Her Gentle Jaws”

About the magazine

Cartridge Blowers is a monthly web magazine created as a direct reaction against traditional quantity-over-quality videogame blogs. Intended to provide carefully-crafted and thoughtful articles over reams of throwaway posts, the magazine is a examination of the medium of videogames and an analysis of its possibilities.

If you would like to submit a story, please send completed articles only to mail@cartridgeblowers.com. Like most sites, we are unfortunately unable to pay you, but we do this for free ourselves, so don’t get upset. However, if you’re in the New York metro area, it’s possible that Richard will cook you dinner, but ask first.

He owns an Atari, a NES, a Gameboy, a Game Boy Advance SP, a Nintendo DS, a Playstation 2, an XBox 360, a Wii, and an N-Gage that he did not pay for. He lives in Brooklyn with Eric and a pet rabbit named Skitters.

Some of his favorite games include Baldur’s Gate, Civilization IV, Mass Effect 2, Katamari Damacy, Railroad Tycoon II, the Ace Attorney series, Rock Band, Final Fantasy VI, and Fallout 1/2. For some reason he owns all current gen consoles. Eric lives in New York City with a pet Richard.
