Wow.

You pick up the plastic bag from the magazine shelf. You look at the cover. It lists the features of the month. Then you look at the DVD. The DVD case has a list of apps and demos on it. You either put the magazine down, or you take it to the counter and pay for it.

I think this is quite silly :(

The magazine costs 40 bucks dude. If you're sitting in front of a PC right now, you can afford the 40 bucks for a mag. Besides, even if only ONE article was good, or ONE demo, it's worth it.

Dude, you can't be serious. Maybe you could ask Cameron to come to your house and read you the entire mag first?!

Just walk in to the strore and look at the mag.

So why don't you just call CNA every month and ask someone there to read out the front cover and DVD to you? :roll:

you throw the bones, if the bones land in a warlike fashion you can expect an fps on the dvd, if the bones fall in a harmonic nature you can expect something like leisure suit lorry(or is that a horny fashion) if you are not an IT savvy sangoma, well then u use your reading glasses.

My word, you people are useless.

Jaycee, just go to the main page of PC Format or Entertainment3, and on the right hand side is the cover picture of the latest PCF. Click on it, and it'll tell you exactly what's in the mag and on the DVD.

Or, go to the cafe near you, buy some fish and chips, while you wait get the PCF. That way you won't be waisting any of your precious time.

Hey on this topic, is there a page that has all the content of the DVDs for like the past year?

I remember a while back someone requested that Cameron make like a database of all the stuff that's been on the discs and he said he'd look into it.

And since the original post date from May I assume that would be the award for May you're referring to? :wink:

Which wouldn't be a bad idea at all!
Even if one of the mods could just paste the stuff from the monthly post into a permanently locked, sticky thread?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

I'm going to say this slowly - and in Afrikaans.

Ons verwys eintlik na die moontlikheid van 'n argief van AL die DVDs se inhoud - nie net die huidige uitgawe nie. :wink:

Mods?

Anyone willing to shoulder this little monthly 'cut 'n paste' task?
Text only required - Although I don't think any of us will complain if you included the cover model. If only to refresh our errr memories. :lol:

Thanks Ant, but I was thinking of a new thread. Would have to be locked which means it would have to be done by a mod to prevent trolling.
