catbox_9 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I ordered issue #8 in December from their website. How long do these usually take to come in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I got mine last week...but I noticed above the UPC in the corner that it identifies it as "Issue #8 - Spring 2007" while it is indeed the #9 issue as indicated right under the cover title.

+Psionic Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I ordered issue #8 in December from their website. How long do these usually take to come in? From what I've been hearing...about a year. I got mine last week...but I noticed above the UPC in the corner that it identifies it as "Issue #8 - Spring 2007" while it is indeed the #9 issue as indicated right under the cover title.

8bitgamer Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Got mine a couple of days ago. Thanks to Chris Cavanaugh for taking the time to review my book. Here's another recent review of the book, published in GameCulture Journal: http://www.gameculturejournal.com/issues/gcjvol1no4.pdf Edited February 16, 2008 by 8bitgamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+HatNJ Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I ordered issue #8 in December from their website. How long do these usually take to come in? I even subscribed at end of Dec for 1 year starting with issue # 8 Payment has cleared but not even so much as a reply to my multiple email attempts A simple acknowledgment that that my msg and payment was received would have been nice as a simple courtesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even subscribed at end of Dec for 1 year starting with issue # 8 Payment has cleared but not even so much as a reply to my multiple email attempts A simple acknowledgment that that my msg and payment was received would have been nice as a simple courtesy I was going to email them but I guess I won't. I almost subscribed and bought all the old issues. I'm glad I didn't. I'm only out like $5.95. Too bad because that magazine looks cool. Oh well.

Emehr Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have all the issues except this last one. I would subscribe if it weren't for the uneven distribution. I really like the magazine but they don't seem to be big on deadlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+HatNJ Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 How many have PMed him about the free issue offer? I see the last time he was on was : Last Seen: Sun Jan 13, 2008 6:42 PM So I emailed about his offer here on AtariAge and about receiving my subscription order and payment and no response either email or PM here. I thought this publication was one of the more reputable but..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I emailed about the free issue. I'm going to feel like an idiot if it was someone else using vgcmagazine's account and fishing for addresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I emailed about the free issue.

No, the offer was legitimate, he mentioned it to me privately before posting about it here. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolenta Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've been away since Saturday, so I hoped the magazine would be waiting for me when I came home tonight. No such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
