Great Moments in Gaming #3
Columns by Stuart Gipp on Doom on your state-of-the-art 486 was less a game, more an experience. However, after battling through two episodes, it begins to get a little stale. Up comes the final level of episode two, "Tower of Babel". "Ho-hum", you think as you run into an empty arena, "the designers really have given up." Then your screen turns red and you lose 80% of your health. With a bold exclamation of "What the fuck" you turn to see an ungodly monstrosity, the Cyberdemon. Another rocket promptly smacks you in the face and you die. Enraged, you boot your saved game and ready your rocket launcher. This baby’s goin’ down. Sadly, you underestimate the maneuverability of a 10-foot demon from Hell and get yourself owned again. Third time’s the charm though, as you are victorious after a hide-and-peek 20-minute battle. On to episode three with renewed vigour!

Dear Readers: Please Send Me Stuff for the Janish!
Columns by Paul Franzen on Once again, it is that time of the year. School's back in session, it's getting colder outside (or at least I assume as much; the only times I go outside are when I need to collect sunlight in Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hands), and, apparently, football season is underway. Who knew? But none of that is what I'm here to discuss with you today. If you've been following GameCola since at least this past winter, you know we like to start off the year with something special, something we creatively refer to as "The January Issue", or the "Jan Ish", for short. In past year's we've enjoyed much success in being able to bulk up the special issues with oodles of special material, with our staff members bumping up their word count, submitting brand new feature columns, and working with me to put together the "GameCola Interactive Video Entertainment Awards". That's not all we do, though -- we also rely on you fans to send us letters, photographs, artwork, poetry, and especially guest reviews and top ten lists.

Dear Readers: Disjointed Thoughts
Columns by Paul Franzen on I don't have anything to discuss this month that would take a paragraph or two to write out, so instead I'll be employing a writing style I've seen used on other sites, one commonly referred to as "disjointed thoughts". It's either that or another pictorial, and unfortunately, I am currently lacking in Luigi eggs.
