Friends come and go. It's part of life. Sometimes we forget about the friend until we hear their name mentioned. Then the memories come flooding back as if a light was turned on in a darkened room. 

It was recently announced that Nintendo Power magazine will cease publication in December. The 1st issue was released in 1988 and was the source of gaming news and previews. A lot of it was marketing fluff but I didn't know otherwise as it was ninteen-fucking-eighty-eight and all WWW meant was that you stuttered.

So yeah...it's been a while since I last thought of the magazine...but the memories are there and they make me smile. I think I will go download a ROM and fire up the emulator.
