I mean actually receive a paper copy in the mail. I used to years ago, but with the internet I don't see the point unless you just REALLY want to have something in your hands to read.....

I don't anymore. Most of the articles I read were innacurate anyway.

I still have a GamePro subscription, but I'm not going to subscribe again seeing as GamePro is horrid and inaccurate and a magazine for gaming is pointless anyway with Gamespot. I might get a subscription to White Dwarf at some point though.

I used to be a PC Gamer/Discover Magazine reader, but I haven't picked up a gaming mag since the turn of the millennium. As the TC said, the information in mags is pretty redundant with the Internet available.

Oh, and Mad Magazine back in the 80's. Can't forget Mad, but I've got the Somethingaweful/Cracked websites now so no need for Mad.

No. The only mag I get is American Rifleman and that's because it comes with the NRA membership.

Not anymore. Especially since you can download game demos and it doesn't take 5 hours to do...

Yes, but it is not a gaming magazine. It is a scientific one.

I don't even read them at businesses that have them while you're waiting. I usually bring a book to read if I'm at a medical appointment or something similar.

I love paper magazines, what else you going to read in the bathroom. When you run out of toilet paper it also serves an extra purpose. Win win scenario right there my friends.

shoot-first

I have a big pile too but they went out of business unfortunately and now they send us Maxim to make up for the rest of the subscription we would've lost, I don't mind though.
