Suddenly I don't feel so motivated to help improve the magazine :wink:

I was going write it in the format, but I didn't want to sound picky about such a small error.

Fine, in the future I will point out any and all typos no matter how insignificant.

Was that "dead,dead,dead" thing some kind of joke I don't get?

It's something judges used to say when sentencing a hanging ;)

I'm not sure that they did, actually...
I'm pretty (100%/definitely) sure that they didn't say it whilst banging the gavel on each utterance though, as is the common misconception, seeing as British judges have never (outside of fiction) used gavels...


It's common parlance.

I was amazed when I saw that they'd printed that one, considering it had ****** all relevance to the topic really.

I spotted a sentenance that had too many words in it and didn't make a whole lot of sense in one of the reviews.. Sadly I was in the pub reading at the time and after a few more pints I couldn't remember where.. If I get time I may re-read all teh reviews so I can spot it again.

Issue 81
pages 52 and 122

Not so much a typo more a massive brain Burp on someone's part. According to the Deus Ex article on page 52, the games expected release is q4. The piece on page 122 says It's out this month, eh?

It's been delayed until August, but that was only announced since the mag's been out. Spooky, non?
