Also, a special thank you to Mitch Gerson & Kevin Steele for putting together an amazing FULL 4 page article of my wifes arcade carvings and THE COVER. I cannot put into words how this affected myself and my family's well being. Just HEARING the news alone & the initial aftershock that just about left this poor sole dead on the floor. Kev, Mitch don't ever do that again or I will die! Please, no more covers.
:dizzy:

GUYS go get the mag now. Get the inside scoop. The GAMEROOM guys are REALLY GOOD PEOPLE!!

I must thank my beautiful wife 1 MORE TIME! Melissa I am truly not worthy and
I LOVE YOU!

I heard orchestra music playing at the end - I think it was time for him to get off stage.

Congrats on the carvings. Those CNC machines are great - but it's the painting that really makes it great.

I think you are thinking of a different one... GRM offered a $10 off a yearly subscription to BYOACers last year and that's when I finally ordered it, and havn't regretted it.....

I'd feel kinda bad if a magazine were to GIVE ME, there magazines for FREE. What gives if we can't afford to chip in for some INK?

But that's just me.

You definitely don't work in IT ... otherwise you'd have to beat the free magazine folks off with a stick.

Of course, I am a GameRoom subscriber and love it -- January's issue is bloody brillant!

Cheers.

Post by: Level42 on January 14, 2007, 05:07:14 pm: I apologize to Gameroom magazine if I mixed it up with another magazine !

Magazines get the vast majority of their income from adds, not from subsciptions.

And yes, there was such an offer, so if you offer it, you should stick to it.

Post by: clockwork on January 14, 2007, 05:32:35 pm: Woot! Excellent, DK. Congrats to you and your princess. :applaud:

What issue will she be on the cover? The January issue on the site doesn't appear to mention anything about her or her carving or anything.

Post by: KevSteele on January 14, 2007, 05:37:28 pm: Level42,

I've never offered freebie subscriptions, except as prizes in contests. You're thinking of another magazine.

I did offer a $10 off coupon a while back for BYOAC subscribers.

DK:

I'm glad you're happy...heck, you're almost too happy!

Here's the cover pic for the upcoming February issue:

Post by: KevSteele on January 14, 2007, 05:44:36 pm: Forgot to mention, the issue's at the printer and will be mailed out sometime next week.

Looks like DK's linky to the pic is broken, so here's what the first page of her article looks like:

Heh, Cruise. Someone needs to give that man some meds or something. Other than that he is a decent guy I heard.
