Dear Readers,

The September issue of GameCola invariably ends up being the most rushed issue we put out all year. People don’t always have time for playing and writing about games when they’re worried about moving into their new dorms and taking brand-new classes. For some reason, Halo just gets lost in the shuffle when you’re busy spending more cash on textbooks than you made total at your summer job, and trying to figure out how, exactly, you ended up in Principles of Biology when you’re a journalism major.

But that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about you; it just means that more of us are writing our articles on the day of the deadline than usual. Since I myself am writing this on the day of the deadline (a first for me, actually), and since I’ve barely had any time this month to think about video games, let alone play them, here are some absolutely SHOCKING statistics that will undoubtedly fill my self-assigned wordcount:

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

… the average GameCola review rating is a 6.4?
… the average GameCola review rating for a Zelda game is a 6.2?
… the average GameCola review rating for a Final Fantasy game is a 7.5?
… the average GameCola review rating for a Mickey Mouse game is a 9.3?

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

… the highest GameCola rating EVER was a 9.72 for Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals?
… the lowest GameCola rating EVER was a 1.1 for Midnight Raiders?

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

… Matt Gardner’s average review rating is a 7.2?
… Paul Franzen’s average review rating is a 5.0?
… Zack Huffman’s average review rating is a 3.4?

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

… we have reviewed a grand total of 43 RPGs?
… we have reviewed a grand total of six sports games?

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

… on average, a GameCola staff member sticks around for 13 months?

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

… 26% of all GameCola staff members have been female?
… 11.1% of all GameCola staff members have been named “Matt?”
… 11.1% of all GameCola staff members haven’t been from the United States?
… 48.1% of all GameCola staff members have been from South Jersey?

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

… on average, 4.4 people vote in Free Stuff for Feedback each month?
… on average. 7.3 people download TestGame.exe each month?
… on average, 9.2 people vote in the monthly poll each month?
… on average, 11.5 people vote in the Gates of Life poll each month?

Okay, I think I’m done now. See you next month!

Love,
