Issue #2, and #3

Issue #2 is coming along good, many people are getting me 1st drafts of their articles nice and early.  That means I can get down exactly where they are taking the topic and tie a theme for the magazine together.  Awesome.

Some issue #2 "working title" content will be:

XBox 360 is rumored to have Halo coming out in the Marketplace.  Why are they "reminding" people that Halo exists on the 360?  Are they lubing us up for Halo 3(60)?  Or is it a direct port of Halo?  What if it has full xbl support? This article is being drawing up by FireWtr96.

Parental Supervision: Do you know what your kids are chatting abot on XBL?  Are they practicing their curse words and insulting people online when your not in the room?  Are their "friends" doing it? - A warning to parents;  Article is being presented by MikeJames.

Also, the design for the new magazine is coming out awesome.  Clean, clear, and kick ass.
------------------

Issue #3 is going to focus on the history of gaming and technology.  My goal is to build out a timeline from the starting age of gaming and troll through the years up until the PS3 and Revolution.  Using wikipedia and gamer sources to point out milestones in gaming history that pushed us to the next evolutionary step.

A new columnist will be born (Pulsaris) : his column will be designed to explain how he gets owned in every game he plays.  Should be a humorous read.

More to come im sure.  If you are interested in doing an article looking back at gaming, your life in gaming, or what you expect of the future based on our past: email editor@2old2play.com
