Kaith 8 Posts April 25 2012 19:54 GMT #26 You guys are amazing. I didn't even have time to post my thread here before you picked it up. I'm one of the editors at GLHF Mag. We have a bit more info on the reddit post. I'll try to answer any questions I can (if you have any).

Deleuze United Kingdom2102 Posts April 25 2012 19:59 GMT #27 OK, usually I'm a cynical bastard but this does look pretty cool actually. And you have definitely put loads of work into GJ! Not just formating but also content too. I have a question though - why have you opted for a magazine format at all? Reading a PDF is not the most user friendly interface and is seriously heavy on the downloads. Why not just have a website format instead? Having your zine in a single format does have it's advantages i.e. to have it as a finish et viola here it is product but in terms of getting content to readers online websites offer more advantages - rather than waiting 2 months for it all in one go, updates with regular articles etc can be released to keep your readers interested (and remember you). I'm just curious as, unless you were planning on having this in print, it's almost a step back. Also, I'm not sure how TL staff will feel about this in terms of advertising... But as you have put so much into this and you seem to be grass roots it this may be fine.

Son of Gnome United States777 Posts April 25 2012 20:14 GMT #34 I really liked it so far, somethings annoyed me a little but I know it will improve. For a first issue though it is very well done.

mDuo13 United States307 Posts April 25 2012 20:16 GMT #35 Read a bunch of it. I liked the CombatEx article, the ThorZaIN interview, the build order articles, the bit on PeepMode, and the overall layout and design. Visually, the magazine is way better than I expected: easy to read, lots of relevant eye-candy, and cleanly laid-out. I got a bit lost in the text flow a couple times, though, like toward the middle of the ThorZaIN interview and at the page break for Leenock's Providence build order. The bits on easter eggs and dumb jokes were a nice touch. I wasn't a fan of the article on casters; it didn't have much new to say. I was surprised that the article about time seemed to gloss over an important caveat -- the difference between Blizzard Time™ and actual time. Also, there was at least one blatant typo (pg. 21, "... what is scene [sic] in many modern virtual storefronts"). Actually, while we're talking about that article, I thought the writing style was pretentiously obtuse. Mellow out, megabuster. Sometimes you need to cut the literary flourishes and write straight talk.

Kaith 8 Posts April 25 2012 20:19 GMT #37 We originally chose a magazine format because we wanted to provide a nicely presented package of editorials and interviews that people could casually leaf through in their spare time. We figured that there's a lot of really amazing websites already out there that provide SC2 news and live coverage, and we wanted to try something different. It does make things a bit difficult in terms of keeping content relevant, but we're looking to eventually try for monthly publications (though we don't have the free time or the manpower quite yet). We're also investigating print, but we'd have to charge for print copies which brings up a few more issues in terms of what photos and whatnot we can use. We're trying out the issuu interface for our issue as well, which should make the downloading and reading a bit more enjoyable and less taxing on our servers. You can give it a look here.

BronzeKnee United States5225 Posts April 25 2012 20:20 GMT #38 Looks nice, but you seriously have an article dedicated to Combatex that glorifies his BM? Will not read.

dacimvrl Vatican City State582 Posts April 25 2012 20:31 GMT #39 i like the content, but you guys REALLY need an editor or some grammar/spelling checking programs.

KingOfAmerica United States246 Posts April 25 2012 20:36 GMT #40 I didn't expect much... but HOLY CRAP this thing is pretty slick. Extremely professional. I love everything about this. I think the content is a great survey of the various niches and areas of Starcraft 2 info (tourney results, strategy, player interviews, eSports speculation, etc). Is there a way I can support this thing? Some kind of subscription or whatnot?
