I’ll post a review of one or two of the issues somewhere on your forums tomorrow.

I have seen a few of your blogs, and if you are interested you could join GMTech as a writer or reviewer.

It was just by chance that I clicked a URL linking to this page, actually.

I like GMTech’s unbiased approach on issues, but I like reading MarkUp’s articles as well.

F1ak3r: Thanks for the compliment! I think I told you before, but you should really write as well. Sorry if I didn’t…
Unfortunately, Polystyrene Man left a while ago, around the time when I joined GMTech. Tom Russell is clearly an excellent addition to the staff, though.

Perhaps I’ve been a bit harsh to you and MarkUp in the past. It’s just that my first impressions of your magazines weren’t wonderful. But first impressions are often incorrect.

Right, I’ll go through the latest issue as soon as I get the time. I’m not sure if my complaints are specific to it. It’s just that all the issues seem to melt into one, if you know what I mean. I apologize if I’ve pointed out mistakes that have already been fixed.

Just because I like typing, I’ll put a few positive thoughts here. I’ve complained too much, now I must compliment:
1. Polystyrene Man, Tom Russel, and ESA are great people to have as staff members. Well done on getting them.
2. You guys don’t have an irrational dislike of 64Digits. That’s good too.
3. I like the stuff that your magazine comes with. It’s like buying a real magazine, and getting a cover disc.

A major problem is finding enough realible people to join the magazine, and with so many different ones this makes it harder for magazines to keep on running.

If anyone else has links to any of the magazines you can remember or copies of ones not mentioned here please post a link, it will be interesting to see what else is out there.

It will be great to hear your comments on the current writers, and what changes can be made to improve it as just saying it has good and bad writers doesn’t help sort out the ‘bad’ writers.

MarkUp and GMT are pretty much equal. Both have their share of good and bad writers, and both have their share of overlooked spelling and grammar mistakes.

I haven’t read GMM or GMFetch, but with a new editor, I think GMM may just become worth a download.

I remember once considering starting my own GM magazine. GM OAR (Game Maker Opinions And Rants). I was going to have a simple white-on-black design, with very few pictures, and a whole lot of rants and articles about things in general (related to GM of course). Then I realized how much work it would be, and how unfit I was to commandeer a magazine, so I stuck with my 64Digits blogs.

Hahaha, Matt really thinks alot of me doesn’t he.
