Char Ell Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Heads up, GfW mag subscribers! If you got the April/May 2008 edition of the print magazine you might want to consider holding onto it as a collector's keepsake. 1UP announced today that the April/May issue will be the last issue to actually be printed and all future GfW issues will be online only through 1up.com, per a report on Gamasutra. According to a 1UP vice president the move has nothing to do with parent company Ziff Davis filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As a current GfW subscriber I'm taking a wait-and-see approach on this one. The definite bummer part for me on this whole thing is I'm going to have to find something else for my bathroom reading material now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The definite bummer part for me on this whole thing is I'm going to have to find something else for my bathroom reading material now. Or you could resolve the problem the geeky way and get a laptop with wireless internet for your bathroom reading needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inyri Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 "Oh noez, I have to go pee! Wait, let me print this article first!" I've brought my laptop to the bathroom with me before... does that make me a supergeek? Just once, I swear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 No, I'm not geek enough and I don't like the color But I bet tk102 has wants one! (j/k) Edit tk102: Fixed. *sigh* I expect Rhett to have this appended to his "man-room" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 no biggie on this one > an environmentally and economically sound move IMO, especially given the content.. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 No, I'm not geek enough and I don't like the color I think if they produce pink hummers they can probably alter the colors of the geek bathroom rig. With regards to this move, supposedly ZD's bankruptcy wasn't supposed to be affecting much. Although in my experience, there hasn't been much for it to affect. They're probably just trying to save a couple bucks by cutting printing costs, which I'm sure is something they'd do whether they were going through bankruptcy or not.

First, it's got green highlights. Snazzy! Second, it's got the LCD and laptop mounted on those cool swiveling arms for extra convenience. Push or Pull? Decisions, decisions. Only problem I see is with the Xbox 360 and TIVO mounted on top of the water tank. What to do when the chain comes off the handle and needs to be fixed, know what I mean?

Astrotoy7 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I expect Rhett to have this appended to his "man-room" arrgh! Thats given me a very painful flashback... When I first became a mod, my initiation involved going with Rhett to a place called "The Man Room." I felt very violated that night, it was worse than 'The Crying Game' mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Ell Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 I just wanted to let everyone know that I no longer have to stare at my lavatory's tile when answering the call of nature. PC Gamer magazine has rescued me from bathroom boredom and taken over my subscription to the now defunct print version of Games for Windows. I sit relieved! So for anybody else that happened to have a GfW magazine subscription you have something to look forward to, if you haven't already got your copy of PC Gamer. Of course if this thread is any indication it would seem like I'm the only one around here who subscribed to GfW but just in case there is somebody else this might be welcome news.

jawathehutt Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hmm, with the joke that PCG US has become and this happening, I guess Ill have to get all of my game news online, preferably from one of futures competitors, like anything other than gamesradar.

Pavlos Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 PC Gamer UK is really the only decent games magazine left. Any rag that prints a four page article about a AAA title only to give it twenty odd percent as a score is worth at least flicking through for the humour factor in my book.
