About This File

This is one of those weird issues that was given two issue numbers (it's technically issues 1344 and 1345), and counting all pages individually, this issue weighs in at 316 pages (though the posters and comic spreads are left joined in the archive as they should be).  That's the equivalent of 4 issues of Game Players, only with just one issue of Game Players' worth of ads.  And since these double number issues are also allotted two weeks on newsstands as opposed to one, there were only 3 issues of Famitsu published in September 2014 for a total of 851 pages, though if we count the last issue from August as well (which was printed within 30 days of this issue) it's a total of 1,189 pages in a 30 day period.  Which is just a few more pages than the 76 that Game Players churned out every month.

Why am I picking on Game Players?  I'm not.  I wish ALL mags I scanned were like Game Players.  Scanning 1,189 pages per month versus 76 pages per month...that's one month of Famitsu vs. 15.6 months of Game Players.  Imagine how many more issues I could scan if only they weren't SO. DAMN. LONG...😩

But would you truly be happy uploading files that small, instead of ones that are nearly a gigabyte in size? :D

Unlike real life, no one cares about size.  Would I be happier completing 4 files instead of one?  Yes.  Are people downloading the larger mag 4 times as grateful? No.  It's just math - 4 is always better than 1.

And as you know, the one thing a scanner needs more than anything is motivation.  When you've got 300+ unedited pages sitting in front of you, it's more difficult to even feel like starting, since you know you're not going to finish in a single sitting.  Once I get to under 100 pages, I feel relief that I'm in the homestretch and just power through to the end.  Imagine if every mag I scanned started in the homestretch?  I can only dream.😌
