When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it
has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, awesome blog!

I still remember the thrill of a new COMPUTE! magazine that came with a 5.25″ floppy disc FILLED with NEW EXCITING SOFTWARE AND GAMES!

The Artemis piece is one of the best, funniest things that’s been in the magazine for a very long time.

The coverdisk was becoming more and more obsolete, and the main reason I read PCG is for features such as game diaries – I get preview information and reviews from various Internet avenues (though of course pay special attention to the words of PCG).

I had been planning on cancelling my subscription, as the magazine was not what it used to be. But if you’ve got more time for more actual content then great.

I’ve been subscribing so long the magazine is still sent to my parents’ house, and I’ve not bothered to change it. :P I can’t wait to pick this new one up.

Well, I’ve had the floppy, CD, DVD and now nothing. Maybe with the extra time you guys have someone could put together another “Complete History of Games” so I can tack it below my old poster. :)

I’m not a Star Trek person, but even I can get behind the nerdy thrill of a bridge simulator. Are there more Team PCG diaries planned?

The DVD used to just go straight in the bin anyway.

Does that mean the mag’ll be on the top shelf, covered with brown paper?

Conner – are you in the US? The issue I’m talking about is of PC Gamer UK, probably could have made that clearer.

Other than that though, I loved how the issue turned out, even knowing what I did with what I’d helped on already there was some really fascinating stuff – the Chickens of the Law thing in Skyrim a particular favourite – but I think my personal favourite stuff in the mag is the long form pieces, so to see so much more of them was awesome.

I think someone working for the post office might have stolen it, so I’m going to send an e-mail to customer support. Thanks.

The code is on a sheet of card between pages 66 and 67.
