Good, I wont miss this gaming rag at all. I have a free subscription for it, and its terrible. When I first read it 2 or 3 years ago, it seemed somewhat more mature than PCG had become, but like PCG it tries to be too funny and clever every chance it gets and it usually fails. The reviews (which were crap to begin with compared to other mags) became some silly editorial on the game rather than an actual review (for that you have to goto 1up.com). It just became too taken with itself and lost focus. So I wont miss the magazine at all.
Amen. The winner of the contest didnt do a terrible job (better than I could ever have done), but looking at the runner up version and Im dumbfounded that it lost. Its just so much better, the fonts, the graphics everything. I hate how the comments and "read more" section of the new CSS looks. The runner up version is perfect for me.
Hopefully the admins will add an option to run the runner-up CSS in our control panels someday. But for now, GreaseMonkey it is.
