would love it on a regular basis. but.. youtube-links @ site 68 are broken perhaps consider another way of linking things, in a way you can actually change the target (links in a form of http://glhfmag.com/links/2012/1/site1/a , you can change the target when a youtube-vod must be re-uploaded and changes its name etc) | ||

... ... ... ... Pony Express anyone? A lot of the content does reflect these pages as well, but nothing wrong with more content. I wonder how they plan on getting more views though.

So they are trying to bring the stories that are not told on the forums but instead they are trying to further investigate into matters noone else tries to dig into. If this is helping us understanding the reactions of Koreans or following storylines a volatile online community would just forget about after some time and so on. I think they have their place in a gaming community but I don't know whether SC2 is big enough to maintain this. I was looking for a way to pay something for this but it is not that easy to find. Maybe they could improve on that one  Which is fine, but there is also ESFI doing that too, and in a more effective way. As an editor at a magazine, I can say that the production is fine, and neat, and decent for first run. But the unofficial news desk that is TL and the more officially journalistic sites like ESFI that levy a core of folks with live, rather than curated, content are going to always beat GLHF to the punch. What a magazine should aim to do is step away from newsiness and get into feature content, which they approach here. But still, why I need to read it as a 68-page package versus a live-feature mag like Slate is beyond me. Still, as with all things in this still burgeoning market, I wish them luck. | ||

"Leenock safely exerts pressure on Naniwa’s expansion, sniping warp gate before it finishes." However, on page 62, the same caption appears under an unrelated image of a large number of Roaches attacking a small Protoss army. Just thought I'd point that out. Good read, though. If I may make a suggestion: Try trimming the fat a bit. Going up to 69 pages of content, not only does it require a lot of work, but you'll likely have a difficult time filling up all that space after a few issues. I'd rather have a few less articles, in favor of having the rest be a little more appealing. While many of the pages came out very well (such as pages 7-8, "A question of Casters", and pages 34-36, "ThorZaIN speaks his mind"), others (such as pages 45, 47, 50, 63, and 64) instilled very unpleasant "Wall of text" feelings, most likely because the entire page was just gray text on a white background. I'm not saying the articles were poorly written, just that it's very easy to become disinterested halfway through. Even just a picture or two and some color can really make a difference. Anyway, this is going on much longer than I anticipated, so if you'll pardon the prick-y-ness off my criticism, good work so far, and I'm looking forward to any future installments. GLHF. | ||

Canadian government subsidies can make a print magazine viable when 99% of the time it would fail. | ||

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea, the magazine actually looks amazing and so professional, that's exactly the kind of image e-sports need right now in order to broaden it's audience. Nevertheless, I'm really wondering what new content this magazine will bring to the table. I mean e-Sports is something that mostly appeals to computer online-gamers. Most of which (especially in the Starcraft community) spend a lot of time on forums, or different online platforms where they can talk about the game. Why would any of these people buy a magazine that basically says the same thing you can find on pretty much every Starcraft Forums? Moreover,without the possibility of interaction that the internet provides. Even though the product you worked on looks amazing and probably is, I don't know if anyone will feel the need to use it to get this kind of informations. You're basically posting on the platform of your biggest "competitor" ... Isn't the point of this magazine to appeal to a broader audience? If someone asks "hey dude wtf is starcraft 2 and all this esports stuff you talk about?" I'd rather show him the magazine instead of teamliquid, because despite how awesome teamliquid is, it is at first glance not an "eye catcher". The magazine, on the other hand, looks amazing and it will definitely get some people interested. | ||
