Not long after Ziff Davis announced they were canning OPM, now Future Publishing (Edge, Next-Gen.biz, OXM, etc.) has said they have suffered $95.6 million in losses. Ouch. Look out how the corporate head spins the news:
"It is clear with hindsight that during the past two years, Future over-invested in acquisitions and under-invested in organic development. The consequences of this strategy are clearly evident in today’s disappointing results.”
"We have taken a number of steps to strengthen the business. These actions have created significant cost savings which we are fully re-investing in the business."
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, print is dying a slow, painful death. As the Internet thrives and more of our mobile devices are Web-enabled, the need for long-form magazine pieces will dim. We fully expect, here at Dtoid, to rock the Casbah well into the night.

Between Destructoid and few other not as often updated gaming news blogs you can read everything that would be in next months EGM or Gamepro right now.
a couple of friends and i almost 2 years ago started our own magazine... it's an E mag... yet... but we have high hopes of being published one day.
it's only about PC gaming and of course... we are from argentina. so it's spanish only.
will mean a lot to us if u guys can give a little read (if u can understand spanish of course) and tell us what u guys think!
www.gaming-factor.com.ar (in the home is the latest issue, 19 )
thx a lot and sorry if this is against the rules...
your oppinions can be mailed to: k1ng.1337samu@gmail.com
But one of the movie industry trade magazines that I get offers an on-line edition that looks and behaves exactly like the print edition, and I think it's great. I can even save it to PDF if I want.
I use my DS when I'm on the can. In two weeks I worked my way up through the cups and beat Special Cup on 150 Mirror - all from quick, 10-15 minute sessions on the dumper.
Your third option is to setup a complicated series of mirror that would reflect an image toward me from my computer to the can. Whatever you guys have in the budget... Until then, I'm stuck with my Maxim and EGM. sigh...
i mean... that's totally loser... i'd NEVER do that... right?
