創刊號 A Profound Waste of Time 是對製作電子遊戲這門藝術的深情致敬。這本由頂尖插畫家與知名遊戲開發者大膽合作的刊物，發行時廣受好評，其深思熟慮的出版設計與創新、愉悅的插畫運用贏得諸多讚譽。
超過 30 位作家與插畫家齊聚一堂，共同打造這本刊物，收錄 Yacht Club Games、Toby Fox、Jake Kaufman、Ashly Burch、Ojiro Fumoto、Rami Ismail 等人的訪談或文章。
The developer interviews in here go way deeper than I expected for a games magazine, and the illustration spreads are genuinely beautiful. It's the kind of book you leave on the coffee table and end up flipping through again a week later.
I bought this expecting a nice art book and ended up reading every developer interview cover to cover. The illustration quality is genuinely gallery-worthy, and the essays on game design made me see a few of my favorite titles differently.
The illustrations alone justify the price, especially the full-page spreads between essays. My only gripe is that it's a fairly slim volume for what you pay, but the paper quality makes up for it.
