Yeah and i would too. I'd HAPPILY help with the "editing" and checking of the mag.

As a matter of fact, put I34z1k's name in print by all the articles ... even the ones that others have proof read.

I'm sure someone posted in this thread that he'll do it? Judas maybe?
Yes, I did offer - it was in the thread about KB's review though, not this one ;). I'd be very happy to do the copy editing, especially if there's free games involved!!

I like to think my English is pretty good, and I've got plenty of time on my hands right now, so if you'd like me to help just drop me an email or PM. :D

I too will (or is it would ? :lol: ) be glad to offer up a bit of time to lend a hand.

Although I believe someone of rustypup's linguistic caliber would be much better suited to the task. :twisted:

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.

Problem is, I can somehow see rusty not only proof reading, but actually correcting any reviews with which he does not agree 100%. It will come back a completely different review! :D

Which might not be too bad a thing considering some of the more recent ones...


Now - note I did not mention anyone on this forum!! :twisted:

Now, Judas is one person who I would trust to do a pretty good job at this sort of thing.

Unfortunately, as much as I would love to do this, I don't think my English is quite good enough, although I would have the time for this - would just mean less Natural Selection. :wink:

Thanks man, much appreciated! :bigups:

I emailed Stacey my offer to help, hopefully she accepts - I would actually really enjoy helping out with the magazine.

I also always pictured dozens of writers scurrying about in a massive office block trying to get the magazine out each month. Interesting.

That was my perception too. But with most of the articles coming from UK PCF, I don't suppose they need too much staff here in SA.

Did anyone else feel like the magazine would have been just a little better had that poll of best music in videogames in particular been taken from the South African forum for the South African magazine? It was weird reading comments by forumites having no idea who they are. Would have been more fun to read what DAE_JA_VOO, Hman or naughty had to say, rather than Mr.Clark, AMacdonald or OakenShield.
