Issue 94 Out Wednesday 14th Dec!

[Dave Shaw]

Firstly, a little discussion of Issue 94's headline development, as discussed by Mr Dan Howdle on the magazine's editorial page. "You may note we have doubled the resolution of our scoring system as we move into the new year. We've always tried to be as accurate as possible when it comes to scoring, and a ten-point scale allows us to be doubly so. It's also a little more in keeping with how people talk about review scores out there in the wild."

Well said that man.

Where's Dan?

[Dave Shaw]

Sat behind me.

[Bob]

Well I guess it is Panto season.

[Dave Shaw]

Boo!

[The-Marb]

Is the fact Goldeneyes review came about 3 weeks after its review reflective of its quality? (i.e no previews copies from Acti)

[Dan Howdle]

I'm here. I'm just very, very busy. There's like four minutes 'til Christmas and I have eighty pages to write.

[Johnny Shoulder]

Yay, a new scoring system! I called that ages ago but it got kinda blown away!

[stikboy78]

new scoring system 10/10

[BuffAngel]

Does the new scoring system go up to 11?

[CherryCokeChaos]

Like the new scoring system, seems much fairer.

Top notch work as usual.

A bit sad i'm not in in for two issues running although i'm sure that's down to me not saying anything worthwhile

Have a great Christmas guys and bring on even better issues in 2012!

[Dave Shaw]

You're in something for issue 95, if it's any consolation.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

So in many ways, i'm the best forum member of 2012 so far? Can I have a badge?

I am in the process of writing another letter as well, damn DLC delays.

You've resurrected "wanker of the week"?
