Coury and I check out the first issue of my Video Game History Foundation "blind box" subscription! The issue ended up being Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue #177 from April of 2004. This issue is of course from the meaty part of the PS2/XBox/GCN/GBA days, but also has a neat preview of the Nintendo DS. This is definitely not the kind of magazine that I would normally do as a proper "Let's Read" on the show, so that made it an interesting mag to do for this "blind" read-through.

Remember that this was a live show, streamed here on YouTube. There was no editing whatsoever, and no gameplay footage was shown. The format is just different than a regular Let's Read.
