So what is everyone thinking of issue 2?
Shoooosh Im still reading :P
Im enjoying the mag and the layout is extremely well done. Gotta say congrats on a job very well done and I suspect this will pick up a rather huge subscription base :D
I hope so.... I seriously put in a LOT of work into this thing, so its rewarding to hear people are enjoying it.
You can see the quality of the work, trust me its worth it. There are few magazines who pull it off, I read the first issue and enjoyed it, the 2nd one is definitely better, I like the writing style of all your contributers (sp), the way its put together, the works. Its also a easy read, by that I mean for the more casual gamers like me, its informative without being overwhelming. Keep up the great work!
Anyspecific article come to mind?Quote:

Stats just came in and we had over 300 magazine views yesterday not too shabby :)
Not too shabby at all. How many downloads?Quote:

Last month we only had 100 views on the first day.
We had around 3000 pageviews yesterday over the site.
Well that is a very, very good sign.Quote:

I would love to get my hands one the physical copy with a shiny cover :D Other than that great work! One very special mention has to go to the creator of the "When I grow up I want to be..." article. Man I absolutely loved that article and you guys should do more like that! Great stuff!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
I will pass your words on to the author I am sure he will be happy to hear that!
You should consider doing a version without the videos. I'm kinda interested in checking it out, but I've no interest whatsoever in watching videos, and so 66MB is mostly a waste of bandwidth for me.
Thats why we have the online version :) Its only 15mb.
Surprisingly I have also had many people ask why we had fewer video's this month.
Just a bump for anyone that may have missed this :)
They mispelled random on paragraph 10 on the moh review :p
Pretty Good Mag,keeps me busy for hours :D
