Otherwise I liked most of the mag.

I only use GM7 because of Vista. I don't consider anything really different though.

The magazine looks okay, you guys are really becoming a formidable rival to GMTech and MarkUp.

Haven't read all of it yet, but you need to review more bad games. None of the games you reviewed got lower than 4/5.

I laughed at the comic, which is more than can be said for that unfunny garbage GMTech comes with.

Look for games here, most of your stuff seems to come from YoYo.

Bad games need love too?

Thanks for all the feedback guys, it is really appreciated.

We hope to have issue 5 out a little earlier than expected, as you might have noticed, this issue was about a month late, as there was so much work behind the scenes to be done.

And, thanks Flak3r, that is good to hear that Broxter did a good job of making the comic, although, he plans to make it look a bit better for issue 5 :D

Yes, I will try and review some, more, lower quality games next time and the reviews will be actually worth reading in my opinion, I have up'd the anti in my witting skills, so you can expect some more.

Also, A big thanks to Marbs! I didn't realize until a little while after I published this blog post that 64D did not in fact use BB code, but HTML.

I will try and remember that for next time :D .

And if there is any community opinions, I will try and find some more people for both sides, it is just that at the time, I really could not find anyone who still used GM6.1 or lower.

Does anyone have any suggestions for issue 5??

I am willing to hear anything, well…almost anything ;)

Thanks everyone,

-Matt
