The future of Atomix Mag.
It’s only been two and a half months since we launched our first issue, but it feels like we’ve been around for ages, right? Maybe it’s because we’ve been working on this since May 2010, or maybe because it has been two crazy busy months. Either way, it’s been quite a ride.
E3 is just around the corner, and we are super excited about it. While we get ready for the show, I can tell you in...

Area 5, a newbie, Atomix
Ok, so you’re probably wondering one of two things right now.
One, why has it taken so long for a new Area 5 project to surface?
And two, who the hell is Rick Curnutte?
As these two things are in many ways intertwined, lemme fill you in some stuff. Pull up your virtual stools. Uncle Rick’s gonna tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was an extraordinarily insular young (ish) man who was going...
