Games like Cold Pizza Tastes Like Freedom

I mean... My name is Beth, Elizabeth is one of the best characters ever, what more can I say? Seriously though, BioShock Infinite is one of my favorite games of all time. The story is incredible, and there are some absolutely remarkable quotes. One of them really hit home for me due to my terrible memory: "The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist."  T…

An 8-page zine written for the #minizinejuly23 challenge on instagram posted by blancisthecreative. The prompt for July 6-10 was throwback, with instructions to "Take us back to the past!" So, I chose to write a silly zine about things that get lost to time and how they sound a bit weird to younger generations that didn't live it. I used examples from 3 generations of my family (my memaw, mom, and…

Have you ever felt inadequate? Like you can't do the amazing things that others can? Or maybe your child is sad they can't do something they really want to be good at?  My name is Beth, and there's a lot I can't do too. I can't do cartwheels, I can't skate, and I can't play any musical instruments. But that's okay! We're all capable of learning new things, and maybe you'll try that new thing and r…

An 8-page zine written for the #minizinejuly23 challenge on instagram posted by blancisthecreative.  The prompt for July 1-5 was Introductions, with instructions to "Introduce us to someone or something. It can be an intro to you, a pet, or anything really!" So, I chose to write a zine with a little bit about me. It contains a few lists of things I like along with a link to a mini playlist on  spo…

When I was trying to figure out what to write for a pocket guide, I went back into my old reliable well of "what would be helpful for ME." And the answer was: a lil booklet of stuff I often have to Google! Or, well, Bing (for the Microsoft Reward Points!), but "Stuff I Often Bing" doesn't sound as cool. The zine covers: Several different grammatical topics (I do a good amount of editing work, incl…

I've been cranking out zines left and right this month, but when I hit the "Memories" prompt I was stumped. Angel came up with such a beautiful zine for the month celebrating her grandmas, but I sat here like... "What memory should I write about"? It wasn't about narrowing down my choices, it was about picking literally anything at all that I haven't written about a million times. Even my discover…

When I was a kid, we'd go to Toys R Us for video games. They carried NES and then SNES titles, and it was so magical exploring the aisles, checking out the game boxes, and choosing one. Reading the manual on the way home or at a restaurant (or both) is something I'll never forget loving, even though my memory is awful   This zine is a celebration of that feeling, that exploration and discovery, a…

An 8-page zine written for the #zinetober23 challenge on Instagram posted by Julia from Munich Zine Library. The prompt for October 2-6 was Fanzine, with instructions to "Create a zine about something you are a fan of (music, movies, artists, etc.)". I chose 90s music because it's when I'd started buying my own CDs to listen to in my car. A lot of that era of music carries a big dose of nostalgia …
