Happy Ides of March to all who celebrate! 🔪 🦕

Here’s a blast from the past: an illustration I created back in 2013, "Et Tu Bronti"—a playful take on Julius Caesar as performed by dinosaurs. Shakespearean betrayal meets prehistoric drama.

What happens when a CEO taste tests their own product?

In this completely serious and very professional corporate evaluation, READ ONLY MAGAZINE undergoes the ultimate quality assurance test: a live taste test of “the product.”

Is it bold?

Is it flavorful?

Is it… nutritionally questionable?

There was only one way to find out.

READ ONLY MAGAZINE is an indie retro-gaming zine dedicated to personal stories, essays, art, and reflections on the video games that shaped us. It’s not actually meant to be eaten, but it *is* meant to be experienced.

Come try “the product” for yourself this Saturday:

Game Demo + Art Market

Saturday at 3PM

Red Emma’s – Baltimore, MD

READ ONLY MAGAZINE contributor Jeremy Parmentier will be at our table, so stop by, say hello, and check out the zine.

No taste testing required. (But we won’t stop you.)

46 years ago, Pac-Man stepped into the Power Pellet Accelerator… and vanished.

He awoke trapped in games not his own, leaping from title to title, hoping his next leap will be the leap home.

This week: Shadow Labyrinth (2025) & Pac-In-Time (1995).
