Overheard: GI Editors Say The Darndest Things
The nature of our work as video game magazine editors and our day-to-day activities inevitably make for interesting, and often hilarious, conversations. This blog captures some of the funnier/stranger things overheard around the Game Informer office starring the editors themselves. Read on for the first of hopefully many posts for "Overheard: Game Informer Quotables."

[Ben commenting on a group of game zombies.]

[Nick]
“Do you want to help me fall into a hole like 20 times?”

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
