Does anyone else hat Kieron Gillen?
What about Tim Stone, I think he's the best reviwer there, always on about trees.


Gillen? He's just hilarious :p The weirdness.

And as for the Article: wasn't that written by the previous editor? If the question isn't solved by tomorrow I'll look it up :)
It came from outer space! What? Dunno, but it's going back on the next flight!

Previous editor, you say? Was that James Ashton? I didn't get the mag that far back, I've only been getting it since issue 94. So I don't know of any editor other than Matt.

aaaah... PC Gamer.. The utterly good, yet expensive magazine I've only bought 1 issue of, yet read through that 34 times.

Well, if they say it, they say it.

Mr Ashton was the Editor for a few years
(has had a subscription for two years, read it for three before that, and is sounding increasingly geeky......shall shut up now)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
