Frankly, I've been quite scared the last few times I've been in flaschat, and that avatar of Suule's isn't helping. That grin looks so, forboding...
Anyway, I might pick this up too, prob for the Cannon Fodder bit alone! I love that game so much. Codemasters are remaking it for the PSP! Although they'll prob massacre it like every recent retro remake...

There's a funny quote from one of the lead designers (or someone like that) of Cannon Fodder about their dealings with the British Legion. If I remeber correctly, they had to pay a load of money to the Legion to keep them off their backs about the poppy usage, even though it wasn't a trademark as such.
The guy was really angry and said that he's not going to buy a poppy for the rest of his life, not out of spite, but because he's made such a big contribiution already.
I think I remembered that right - It was in a copy of Edge from ages ago and I can't find it...

awww.. I wish that magazine was avaliable in Poland.. but then again, a lot of my friends works in UK, so I can ask them to buy it there. Hang on, was it 7 Ł or so?

Very cool issue again! Bought it the other day and have read most of the mag now.
Loved the second part of Gaming Illuinati-- I had no idea such an underground gaming world existed; a fascinating article.
The article on Cannon Fodder was cool, if a little short, but the really great articles this time were the ones on Cauldron, Zenobi Software, King of Fighters and Smash TV.
My only complaint with the magazine is the ink! Sweaty fingers make it all rub off on you -- this seems to have been a common complaint of computer magazines for years, I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed by now. There must be faster inks around by now, surely?
