Lightbulb Again, another idea has hatched.

A E-MAGAZINE!

For PSP maybe? or just a E-Magazine for on the site etc.

I think it would be a great idea, could just make one for Xboxic, Playstatic and Nintendic.

Are you aware of how much time and effort that'd require?!

And what would be the point when we can deliver news faster in posts, rather than gathering it all up into an E-Zine?

Just think of the site as a massive, open-world magazine and you're there.

Yeah but a e-mag would be fun.

and its pretty simple, logo, frontpage, gfx, smart layout and content.

No offence and all, but do you not think that sounds a little like "oh i see people dont like my idea, so i'll say that wasnt actually my idea so people dont dislike me cause i said something a bit silly and pointless"?

And whats with your sig? "I DONT SOUND LIKE I DO ON LIVE"
1.Noone sounds exactly like they do on live.
2.Seeing as everyone elses voice is slightly distorted too, why you do feel the need to point it out?
3. Not a single person that meets you on live will give two shits about what your voice actually sounds like so why is that such a big issue for you? noone cares what anyone sounds like...?

...Okay rant over..

You do it on behalf of me. I really liked them, now with more people coming to the site than when compared to when it was the old-skool days, could be a good feature. Xboxic needs more 'editorial' features, to seperate it from the run-of-the-mill news site.

We'll have coverage for a couple of the bigger conventions over the summer, hope that's enough specials for you. I'd like to do more specials as much as you like to read them but it's hard coming up with ideas and good content.

Trailer Trash roundups are a shitload of work with the layout and the links and all, and they werent getting enough hits compared to regular news items so that's why we stopped doing them. I'll see if Messiah has the time to pick them up again.

There used to be an option on the site to switch back to the old look, but that seems to have gone now

Anyway, there's already a pretty decent ezine out there, I can't remember what it's called but Major's plugged it a couple of times.

Edit: Here it is.
