Hey everyone! I’ve got a new retro gaming book for PlayStation fans. Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/32-bit-library-volume-3-konamis-playstation-rework

 
 

32 Bit Library is now available right through Amazon for $29 in softcover and $49 in hardcover. It has been revised, re-edited, and redesigned into a 6" x 9" trade-sized book. Check it out here: https://a.co/d/2OAQnhD

 
 

19 hours to go! Get yourself a giant retro gaming coffee table book ASAP! These are only printed once in this size, so don’t miss it! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/32-bit-library-volume-3-konamis-playstation

 
 

Launch is coming for the new (and much more affordable!) editions of 32 Bit Library Vol 1. Get the softcover for only $30! Get notified on launch here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/32-bit-library-volume-1-capcoms-playstation-remix

 
 

I’ve got a retro gaming book on Kickstarter & I want to spread the word. It’s a hardcover focused on every title Konami produced on the original PS1. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/32-bit-library-volume-3-konamis-playstation

 
 

Final 24 hours, Retro Gaming fans! Back the book and get a pin, sticker, 20+ extra pages, bonus contributions, ribbon bookmark, hardcover slipcase & more! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/capcoms-playstation?ref=89wzzu

 
 

I just wrote a full blog about a new creative project I am working on. I'd love to spread the word and get some eyes on it, dtoid!

 
 

I’ve got a new book coming! Giant hardcover retrospective on all of Capcom’s PlayStation games: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/capcoms-playstation

 
 

I'm waiting for the game to finish downloading. With default stats and only free skate, I knocked out a million point trick for a big trophy.

 
 

Just saw this on Twitter. Looks great! https://blog.playstation.com/2020/09/03/indie-heroes-face-off-in-bounty-battle-brawling-to-ps4-september-10/

 
 

I’ll be doing an Instagram Live video at 8pm to show off the physical proof copy of my PlayStation book tonight! 8/8 @8pm (PST/MST). Come take a look @PlayStationCVR. Last minute order campaign ends soon! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sony-s-playst

 
 

Thanks Destructoid community! My PlayStation book has done super well, and it was kicked off with awesome support from a few of you. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look here: https://t.co/u2qikgsJUU There is only 4 days left to back it!

 
 

My PlayStation project has grown! 30 more pages, hardcover upgrade, bookmarks, postcards, close to pins and spot UV finish (maybe even a slipcase!). Any help spreading the word? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/sonys-playstation?ref=9ayvhw

 
 

@Lord Spencer I just saw the PlayStation review series you are doing. Maybe you’ll be interested in my book project; https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/sonys-playstation

 
 

I’m preparing to launch an unofficial book that collects EVERY game Sony published for the original PlayStation. 150 games, 700+ pages, nearly 1000 screenshots. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/sonys-playstation


 
 

Hey, I write comics! Get yourself ~60 pages of silly violence with giant bugs right now and help us physically print our newest El Toxico story! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/el-toxico-mosca-de-muerte-1

 
 

Hey, long overdue podcast update. It's a feedback episode. Check it out (and any past episodes) here and subscribe. Tell me what you think! http://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/nowloadingcast

 
 

When you say a title is the "best-selling new Microsoft Studios IP this generation", what does that REALLY mean for sales numbers? It's only being compared to Ryse and Sunset Overdrive at that point of specification, right?

 
 

I'd like to play No Man's Sky. Soon.

 
 
 

What a coincidence, I JUST saw the credits roll on Firewatch. Glad to read the news today that they've secured themselves for another project.

 
 

Best thing I read today? The final volume of Wasteland. So good


 
 

"At launch, playing through most of the single player content will give you enough Fight Money to get Alex for free!" Will it be possible to earn enough FC by April for the next character DLC? I'm guessing not.

 
 

Metal Gear Solid V needs to be fantastic. I mean, it looks fantastic, but I just need a game like that right now.

 
 

About darrenhupkeone of us since 6:03 PM on 02.18.2011

Videogame book maker. Comic writer and seller. Podcast host. Audio & sound designer. Dad.

I've created sound effects for indie games and I am always looking to join others to help create games.

I've also written a number of comics. I have self-published my own books and been published in a few comic anthologies.

I'll occasionally post blogs titled PAPERBOY, and this is my attempt to marry my two favorite hobbies. I compare a game to a comics series and my goal is to turn on non-comic readers and gamers to stories they'll most likely love if they are into said games. Look for more of these coming soon!

Favorite Games:
1. Final Fantasy VII (I know...)
2. Castlevania Symphony of the Night
3. Super Mario 64
4. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
5. Metal Gear Solid 3
