New scan: MCV Magazine issue 650 (August 2011). Inside:
• Exhibitor lists, maps and lots of information if you're heading to Köln for Gamescom 2011.
• Dancing games go from strength to strength. #1 on the sales charts: Zumba Fitness.
• A look at Namco's upcoming slate, including some game called 'Dark Souls’ they think will sell.
• A big Resident Evil 15th anniversary feature.
• There's also, weirdly, a photo of Johnny Chiodini shirtless?

I know that game trade publications aren't sexy and nobody read them as a kid. They're pretty niche. But old issues of these magazines aren't digitised, and they contain different information than can be found in the material that has been.
I’ve been scooping up old MCVs from eBay on their rare appearance, and I have close to 200 physical issues to scan and upload in the coming years.

@vga256 this one was awkward, but in general, these mags aren’t too bad! they're stapled/easy to debind, and once I've got the process down, a lot of the time to scan an issue will be spent waiting for things.

@retrohistories ah fantastic. it's such a relief when they're easy to debind at least. so much of it depends upon having a good, reliable process and stress-free equipment. trying to do magazine scans with my flatbed was absolute misery.
