Handheld Gaming
Hello 2025! I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Personally, I had a great Christmas! The weather was good, there was a ton of presents under the tree, we managed to empty a mid-sized bottle of Bushmills into the big coffee pot, there wasn’t any name-calling or fistfights, and everyone left in a great mood! New Years Eve, on the other hand, was a total disaster. You see, I don’t stay up for the Ball Drop anymore. I used to party till dawn, but now I’m in bed by 9:00. Here in Richmond, however, they have this weird tradition where everyone breaks out their guns and high explosives. It doesn’t get really bad until midnight, when it sounds like you’re storming Normandy. It goes on for about 45 minutes...
What you have here is 2025’s first issue of OSG! It’s a handheld, just like most of this issue. Enjoy!!!
