@videogameninja:

Do you also sniff the insides of the plastic wrapper and stroke the glossy magazine cover with the hairy bits of your fingers, or is that just me?

Wait a sec...

You mean not everyone does that?

I recently subscribed to Retro Gamer, and the feeling of nostalgia I got when each month's magazine arrived through the door was amazing. Like being a kid again.

I still obviously cancelled my subscription once the trial offer ended :D

It really is.

Younger gamers might not ever experience that feeling but for us "old as dirt" gamers something like that recaptures a moment in time that just can't be replicated today.

It often makes me wonder what this new generation of gamers will have in it's place, if anything at all.

My friend has a stack of Game Informer by the shitter. Every time I took a dump at his house, I always took a while. It's the only place his wife would let him store the old copies. There's also a stack of women's mags for those who want it.

Welcome to married life.

Never had a subscription, but i used to buy the PC Games 4 Fun magazines quite often. I have a huge stack of them, oldest one tracking back to 2003. Here's a picture of it.

With such a phallic/suggestible image on that cover that magazine could have possibly served as another type of magazine ;)

Love it!

An man, I had a subscription to official playstation magazine for the demos.. Also got to choose a free game when I started the subscription, which was Darkstalkers..

Hmm, I do kind of miss the magazine days.. I mean, I know they are still about, the other day I was reading Edge for the first time in years.. But I can't see myself ever spending money on one these days.

I once bought a magazine that came with a VHS tape that showcased Sega CD games.. Also I think Games Master released a mag that came with a lollypop with a worm inside when Earth Worm Jim launched... Ah the 90's..

Kind of agree.

We live in an age where everything is so "up to date" in regards to information that getting a magazine now for news in the gaming world almost seems backwards.

Still, there is something tangible about holding something between your fingers. Also, anyone can just write whatever they want on the internet (like me, lol.) without having any facts or their claims having any kind of authenticity. The magazines, while not perfect, almost filtered out the unnecessary "news" we get now a days.
