» Uh-Oh!
Man I like their magazines but have not bought as many for a long time because most of the news they give is pretty old by they time it reaches us and thanks to great websites like Qj.net I can get my fix daily with the latest news often. Some of the good things about their magazines though are the in depth exclusive interviews and their game reviews. I hope they stick around for a long time. I will have to go buy more magazines very soon.

Thats really sad. I used to read PC Magazine as a kid and drool over ads with the system specs laid out. Ironic that what was mainly a print based publisher of technology magazines fell victim to the internet itself.

» WTF!?!?!?!?!
I figured something was wrong with the company when they let me buy 2 years worth of their various magazines for $1 each!

» bummer :(
what could this mean for egm. not that this will be the most popular of statments, but for years now, egm has became smaller and smaller. literaly, the last few issues of egm I got where littler more then pamphlets compared to their older massive 200 page issues.
sure, we could all feel sad for egm,. and i do in some ways. but egm has been ripping people off for years now with its lack of relvant content...
I mean 98 pages while most of those pages are ads and maybe two specail interest articles,. one quaterman article. then the reviews. thats been egm in a nut shell for the last two yeas for the most part. I can see how some people wouldnt find that to be a rip off. but egm used to have many many times the content in a single issue. and they would pack in some frivolous swag on occasion to boot. I realize people will look negitively on me saying this. but EGM just iosnt what it used to be.
Especially in the light of news web sites and tv shows.
keeping everyone informed at a pace a snale mail mag could never hope to keep up with.
yes it's sad if egm suffers. because of this. but on the flip side. I debate the necessity of Egm anyway. I mean with the internet and many fine web sites thet keep us informed. will we really miss it. once its gone?
if it even leaves? I cant speak for everyone. but having found better ways to get my news. and honestly "more of it and in depth" I wont really miss egm no matter what happens.

I'll probably miss EGM. I used to read the magazine a lot when I was a kid. That was during the Golden Age of 200 plus pages or so for special issues, way before the internet became popular.
Here's hoping Ziff Davis, EGM and everyone affiliated with the publishing house can bounce back from this.

» I once wrote dan shoe.
This is the letter I wrote and, the reply.
I figured I would post it here.,
*the letter in it's original context.
Well, make sure to read the rest of the magazine. We state elsewhere that a lot of the "games" shown for PS3 so far aren't real-time games. This isn't something I'm making up...even Sony has officially stated that some of the demos, like Killzone, were "target videos" (meaning, they're pre-rendered sequences that they hope will be representative of the games later, when they get made). That means they made a movie to simulate what they think PS3 games will look like.
Then there the other "real-time" demos for PS3 graphics, like the Unreal and Fight Night videos. Those aren't target videos but the real deal. BUT...they're short, controlled demos that don't need to take into consideration artificial intelligence, the rest of the level, disc space, music, sound, etc...so those developers can spend 100% of their efforts to make one specific piece look fantastic.
Now, I'm not saying PS3 games WON'T look like that. I'm just saying a lot of the stuff isn't real right now, so people should take it with a grain of salt. If I just believed them and believed in the hype, then I wouldn't be much of a journalist now, would I?
Hope that clears that up. Bottom line: I didn't make a prediction...Sony has officially said themselves that some of those demos were "target videos" and not real-time demos.

Hi Dan, I sent this message in a Blog But im relivitivly New to 1.up and dont know if i sent it to the right place.
But now I believe i have found the right place to send you a message.
That being.
On the subject, of fakeness.
I was reading the latest issue of EGM, and In the likes/disslikes portion of the review crew lineup. you aperently didnt like the
Fake graphics of the ps3. I suppose you mean the quality of the demos at E3,and suspect that this level of quality wont be the case when (end all be all) It is finelly released to the world,I just wanted to speak my mind. And that being, How can you as a respected journalest, come right out and make a prediction like that,
As a long time fan of EGM, I respect your opinion deeply, If you say there fake.then there fake to me, But my question is. Baised on your experience ( which i have absolut faith in) Do you know Somthing Your not telling us, Can you elaberate A little bit on your statment, that was made on page 107 in your disslikes catigory of the review crew lineup?
Forever a fan of EGM, But like most of us long timers We miss ED. He was the soul of EGM. But you do a good Job filling his shoes.

sigh, this makes me nostalgic,..
