A while back I had the pleasure of sitting down with one of the owners of Royal Collectables.

Anyway- the piece was scheduled to appear in the December issue of Celebrity & Entertainment Magazine, but was cut due to space constraints. It may still show up somewhere down the line, but I really wanted to post this up for anyone who's interested.

Letter from the Editor

Hey boys and girls,

You may have noticed a nearly complete lack of posts here on TAS in the last month. Well, there's a really good reason for that- we're getting bigger.

Starting in February, TheAngrySpark.com will be partnering up with NY publisher BQE Media Group. What does that mean? It means that there's going to be a lot more content, a lot more news, and a lot more cool stuff appearing right here, in the pages of BQE's massive lineup of newspapers, and on a brand new TAS that'll serve as a crossover between the two.

It's all good- and it starts right here with the launch of the Playstation Vita next month. We'll see you then!
