Also, as a side note... could Dan's name be printed on there as well as signed in signature form? I can't read signatures.


Why, in case it's a fake?

Issue 85 page 67 Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon, last sentence.

What's wrong with that?

We need to learn when to say "enough", rather than gluttonously devouring more and more of the same thing through sheer force of habit.

In case Dan is a fake? Or his signature?

You obviously didn't put your DoB in your profile or we'd have bought cake.

Happy Birthday Dan, hope you have a good un.

And nice one for taking the attention away from my howler. All I can say is that I was very tired yesterday! :oops:

Issue 85 Page 84 third column about halfway down:

'But to think so would be to mniss the point.'

Page 43 'The Influence' (again).
The centre left and right orange circles have the titles 'Sci-Fi Writing' and 'Sci-Fi Movies' but then both have the exact same body text.

Page 67 'Driver: San Francisco'
"...lies in some hospital bed somewhere wondering whether or not he's dreaming is all."

To be slightly more picky too, on page 44 in the 'From the Forum' section, the last comment from Palerider_GB is clearly in response to the forum asking about Mass Effect 2... but in this column it is not given context as the other comments are discussing ME3. Hard to explain really, I guess I'm just saying it's out of context.

In the Mass Effect Preview. Is the text supposed to read the same in Sci-fi Writing and Sci-fi movies in the Influence section? Because it does.

I have more actually but didn't want to start listing them through fear of sounding like a dick. I can see the hard work that goes into each issue and wouldn't want to start reeling off faults.
