Magazine Feature Stories

Picture
That's me in the corner (between Michael Stipe's left shoulder and head), that's me in the hotel-room light...listening to a private performance of "The End of the World as We Know It" for one of many multipage features I wrote for Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine. See how that Karaoke Revolution-focused story--plus several other cover features--panned out, below. 

'Karaoke Revolution' Battle of the Bands
OPM, December 2003

Who better to try out this hot new singing game than the actual artists whose songs comprise the content? I caught up with Gin Blossoms, Hoobastank, Barenaked Ladies and--somehow--R.E.M. to see what they thought.

Upcoming Superhero Games with Mark Hamill Interview
OPM, October 2002

This feature was a bit of an experiment, as I essentially took screenshots from upcoming superhero games and created one-page comics out of them. I also got to interview Mark Hamill in person inside a Hollywood sound booth, moments after a recording session for his starring role in X2: Wolverine's Revenge.

Stan Lee and Mark Hamill Interviews
