Description
A couple of years back, the How To Play strips caught the attention of the (Now defunct) games magazine, Play.At the time, I was working for Rare, and therefore; Microsoft. Which meant I couldn’t say bad things about their products in an official capacity, lest they cry and send someone over to set me on fire.
This rather limited the games I could turn into HTP strips for actual publication, so I came up with a couple of new ideas, one being; spoof games promotions.
Play* (and all its sister magazines) sank back in February…….this had nothing to do with me!
(Though, there is a worrying trend forming. A couple of years after I applied to Free Radical Design, it went down. Then, after being cut from Rare, I applied to RealTime Worlds….)
*That's the American incarnation I'm talking about. Play UK is still up and running.

Mental note to myself: NEVER offer ANY jobs to JollyJack. No, not even janitor.
Just kidding - you're doing great job! If nothing else, you extended life to those ventures, even if it was using lightning rod and spare parts you dug out in local cemetery

Why couldn't you put something like this in a magazine?
Doesn't anyone know that making fun of something you like doesn't mean you don't like it anymore? O.o
