Theme of third YoYo Games competition announced
It’s Co-Operation. The competition hasn’t officially been launched, but you know the theme… a strange decision I think. Plus Jim from YoYo Games has announced that the deadline for the second, ancient civilization, competition will be extended until midnight of Sunday 4th of May (GMT) because of YoYo Games’ downtime.

Why I dislike GM Fetch
When the first issue of this magazine came along at the end of March I was surprised at the positive reviews it was getting at the GMC considering it had only four pages of content.

Cage Match returns
…After a long time. The cage matches were closed due to somebody tampering the results (by voting more than once) [or something like this, I don’t even remember] previously: some of the newest GMC members might not even know what it is. Yay hooray. Sorry for the late post about this… More

GMTV – Dead or Alive
After very little word of an Episode 4 from the guys over at GMTV many began to fear that another GM related publication had bitten the dust. Well many people could just be right after the lost of Co-Owner Brad (who also writes here) and musician Sebastian. Dan announced that Gamemaker TV is on hold […] More

Is it time to deprecate mplay?
NPT thinks so. He has decent arguments: it uses a deprecated part of the DirectX API — and not even the newest version of it. Read his full post. He also suggests YYG to make 39DLL an official extension. What do you think? (essential request for comments: check.) More
