The Living Room Floor

Most of the new stuff is scattered around the living room. After about four weeks, I'll pick stuff up and actually put it away in the Game Cabinet (give or take a bit depending on other demands on my time).

Gaming News & Commentary

• Letter from the Editor - notes and introduction to this month's issue (August)

Sumo's Karaoke Club (Redux)

I would just like to take a moment to point out that Sumo is no longer being published. You can read all of Mike Siggins latest in Games Games Games. Most of the other folks are now writing for Counter. You can read all about how to subscribe to both of these fine publications on the magazine rack elsewhere in this Cabinet.

Check out the new index to the paper issues of Sumo by Nick Luft.
