A Profound Waste of Time’s fifth issue leads the charge with an in-depth profile of Unicorn Overlord’s director Takafumi Noma, reflections from composer Kohta Takahashi on his legendary Ridge Racer Type 4 soundtrack and much more...


Since its first issue in 2018, A Profound Waste of Time has pioneered a unique blend of long-form writing on videogames paired with specially-commissioned artwork from the world’s leading illustrators. Instead of focusing on industry news and game reviews, APWOT takes a more timeless approach, delivering in-depth explorations of the creativity, inspiration, obsessions, and conversations that make up the vibrant world of videogames.
