Mark Pauline makes machines that may or may not want to murder you. And while he might scare the shit out of mild-mannered Millenials, Gen X still likes the hard stuff. So why can’t he get a show?

Issue #1 of Geezer is 100 pages of Gen X content catnip—with zero advertising.

But because we are a print magazine and our content is designed to be consumed slowly and IRL (ideally in a comfy chair and with a glass of wine/cup of coffee/choose your liquid adventure), we are not publishing our entire articles online. So here’s a taste of what Geezer has to offer:
