Wow! Issue 17 is awesome! It is a job well done by all.

Just a few niggles (not too big):

-The first of the GGE article is the same as the "for the love of games" opinion piece.

-There are Knytt Stories screenies in the Knytt review, but its no real biggy.

International law prohibits the posting of any images of my person in a location that may cause harm to a large number of people. Side effects of viewing my photo may include blindness, uncontrollable screaming, possible heart stoppage, nightmares, paranoia, and other really bad stuff. Rest assured someone will take my picture at rAge. That person had better be willing to deal with the UN's Black Ops division.

Great issue, as always. The design is slickness personified (especially compared to the first issues) and the content is teh_awesome. We're missing some profiles though... :(

Great issue. The new layout rocks! Well done Nandrew. (please put your name in the layout credit next time. ;) It's only right) Yay for the particles tut Cairnswm. ^_^ And good job Untouchable. Nicely done.

Great issue! I like the new smooth, clean design (",)
[EDIT] : I just took a look at the GGE article and the first paragraph seems to be same as that of the opinion piece that I wrote. Mistake or intentional? or maybe Chippit and I think in exactly the same way, lol :P

P.S. In reference to Q-man's article, I so badly want the Balamb Garden tune right now.

Great issue Nandrew, love the design. Great articles all round I rate, and the Tailpiece was pure lol. Ha ha it was also a treat getting to 'read' the mag while it scrolled by on a large screen at rAge ;) and listening to dis read some of the profiles in fitting voices.

Also, "How can you be called Squid and NOT LIKE SEAFOOD?!" was rather classic.

And I think I'm going crazy because I constantly hear music playing somewhere :| it's afrikaans. My soundtrack is broken.

I would've liked to hear that live reading, actually. Must've been awesome.

You know, folks, In retrospect, given the reactions some people had when finding out what I was like IRL at rAge, I'm kinda glad I didn't send a profile photo... :P

^^ Don't worry Gazza, we all got over our jealousy pretty quickly :P

Thanks, Squid. I feel better now. :P

For those out of the loop:

Me: Hi, I'm Gazza_N! From da Forumz!
Person: Oh... Hold on... YOU'RE Gazza_N?!
Me: Er... Yes, I'm Gazza_N.
Person: You're not exactly what I expected...
Me: Oh. Okay. So what did you expect?
Person: I... er... I don't know...

This happened at least three times that I can remember. Of course, I shouldn't complain, given that I kept mixing Agrajag and edg3 up... >.<

I thought that one through beforehand.

Glad to hear about all the positive feedback!

I'm still kinda zonked right now (this past weekend was awesome, but very, very cruel), but I should be setting up a bunch of Dev.Mag-related paraphernelia soon. ;)

Not quite - I ID'd you from the little cartoon picture and confirmed through Nandrew and Kensai. So nice try, but not quite successful. ;)

Finaly I have internet again! issues 16 & 17 both rocked, and the new style of 17 gave the mag a fresh new look.
