How long have you been reading PCF.

Post by rookie1 »

Hi, I was just wondering how long you guys have been reading PCF.

I've been reading every issue since the very first issue (the Duke Nukem vs. Quake issue). Mostly been a subscriber for the entire time except recently, only because I don't have a fixed address.

Just interested.

Been reading it straight now for about 15 months. Was about the same time I became a member here.

Used to read only read one or two issues here or there which I got from friends, mainly just to get the CDs.

Will buy it till the day I die. Or until they stop publishing it. Which would be the same day, 'cause I'd die if that ever happens! :crazy:

Hmm when Mars was still editor I never bought it... rather read the other three or so mags available... but I must admit that i have been buying it steadily now since 2003, and it has surpassed my other fav in content.
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

I really don't think it's possible for PCF to get much better than it is right now.

Well.....I still have the first issue AND the first cover CD.....I AM running out of room, though. I'd have to agree with Jee that the content/look of PCF improved under Tamsin's rule.....
