NAG has always been crap. I understand the DVD is nice if you don't have internet access.

You have done a year-by-year comparison to verify this? ;)

I get the impression that NAG has come a long way since its
[if I read the article in NAG's 10th birthday edition] modest
beginnings. As has SACM since it was acquired by Tide Media.

My opinion.

Even if one does have internet access at home, a saving of several
gigabytes and hours of downloading is not to be sniffed it.

or you are obsessed with the poor gay person. then again how many have actually met him and friends irl- i guess very few. though their DDR routine quite a thing to see. i would hope you don't have hard feelings for me, that is just gross.

Ok why don't you and Gradius go and find way to interpret things people say as gay together?
 
Oi oi oi. This was quite an interesting thread ... things got a little heated in the middle - and just a tad off topic, but there's no helping the topic I guess.

I used to support NAG for a couple of years, but for myself, the mag just lost its overall quality. I stopped reading the editorial, I started skipping the letters page because it just stopped being funny, and the various writers columns (pages, call them what you will) also stopped being interesting, since a lot of the writers seemed to use them as a base for various rants they had stored up.

When the mag moved from the R30's range up to the 40's, it just became a tad too expensive to be worth it.

i don't see the need for review/preview mags when there are so many decent websites and now that bandwidth are a lot cheaper not to mention free steam via webafrica. what you want to see or try out you can grab for a lot less then it used to be so no more real need for that demo disc. besides all the review/preview can be read online anyways...

Especially considering - for me at least - the majority of the files on the disk included with NAG didn't interest me.

That, and installing and uninstalling countless demo's really does clog up one's PC in the long run, lol.

Do you actually read the letters page, or are you just jumping in on a cheap and easy opportunity to accuse me of being arrogant? There's a difference between being a naive kid who writes a naive letter, and a person who just doesn't stop to think before writing a stupid letter. That difference is clearly represented on the letters page, I think.

I also think people take themselves faaaaaaaaar too seriously, which is where all this "oh, I'm so offended" nonsense comes from. Learn to laugh at yourselves once in a while.

youre right, it was a cheap (and i must admit pretty easy) oppertunity ;) And yes, i do read it every now and again, no longer as religiously as i used to tho...

There is a difference between them of course, and sure most of the time the naive young'uns are spotted and treated with the kid gloves they need, but is it not possible that as they dont specify their age or perhaps they get their parents to help write it, the editor might not actually know if the person he's insulting is actually equipped to recieve the sarcastic response? I see where you're coming from and i agree there is no way to please everyone... but with the approach theyve taken they must be prepared to receive negative feedback. Also, i think offended is the wrong word.. people are not really offended by things they read these days, but disappointed perhaps? at the least, the feeling theyre coming away with after reading the responses is not positive.
