ERRORS IN THE CHALLENGE:

For those star hunters: I made a mistake on the riddle for page 27, it should be 36 instead of 30.

Three stars were carried over on the next pages after the "replacing P" star. This is a mistake, stick to the riddles and you will be fine. The star was carried over from a previous page on accident so that star appears in the same spot four times in a row. Bad, I know.

Lastly, on page 7, the riddler spelt barefeet wrong. It says barefront when it should say barefeet.

---

Once again, Greetings SystemWars Warriors, SWM is here at last! Special mention goes out to The_Game21x for hosting the rather sizable pdf on his wonderful site (TheMindofGame.com)! Also, take notice of the CHALLENGE on the Meet the Crew page! First one to complete it gets a Steam copy of Trine from me! Good luck and happy reading!

FIRST!

On stevos request.

On a related topic. Excellent edition (I kind of peaked at the articles before they were all photoshopped).

I promise to get my articles in to the upcoming issues so I can keep being a contributer.

Excellent photoshop job there Stevo, you do outstanding work. To the rest of you, excellent job on the articles!

Another great issue, being a huge megaman fan growing up I have to say reading the history of it brings back a lot of great memory for me.

I get the feeling many people will screw the articles over and just try to spot the stars. I know I did. Spotted three so far. The example star (:P), the one on the first page of the Crackdown 2 Q&A, and the one on the first review page which details the meanings behind scores. Well camouflaged, the last one I found was.

Should I be ashamed of myself? :?

Edit: Too lazy to find the rest. Can't bother self to port images over to an image editor so I can zoom-in on them. I'll start reading now.

I know I've said this before, LoN, but it bears repeating: Excellent job on the video. Also, that guy who did the newsreel has a really awesome voice, you should use him more often :D

Great job everyone at SWM! So far I've only read the audiophile deal on the PS1 (very interesting by the way, and very well written) and the Megaman history article. Very god read and a huge hit of nostalgia since I grew up playing a lot of Megaman man games.

I'm liking the retro gaming features this issue included and I noticed you guys did a retro review as well. I think that should be included in every issue. I just finished playing through Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and loved it. If I have time I might write a review up for that to submit to you all :)

A few of them are exceedingly difficult which adds to the challenge while others are pitifully easy (Infringed on my copyright one for example). Hehe. I don't want this Steam gift to sit in my inbox forever!

Oh some heads up: Go into Adobe Reader or Foxit reader, and to view the magazine in magazine esque type detail on the PDF, you need to change the view settings to 2-Page-Continuous and have the cover page showing.

Secondly,

PM me about the details when you find all 28 stars. No need to spoil any fun within the thread for the folks that are still finding them. Some are easy, some will make your head spin. There's only stars on pages which have riddles at the bottom. So don't try looking on pages that don't have the green bar at the end. If within a day and no one is doing hawt on them, I may lower the amount in which is needed to get the Game. :P

In case anyone is wondering, or in case anyone wants to be an asshat and call this out, no one in SWM had a handle in SWM before any of you except The_Game21x and musicalmac, but both are honest guys so they are still at the same fair level of game in the challenge as anyone else. Since one uploaded the pdf to his site, and the other moved this topic and stickied it. No one here has an unfair advantage. Besides me. Since... I know already where they are.

Actually its my defense mechanism for being too damn lazy to look for them. I mean if I got a 50G achievement for finding em, I'd be a hell of a lot more motivated to scoure the magazine. But as it is.... ehhhnnnn, forget about it :P

Oh and that video LoN, is just epic. Which goes to show, ALL videos should be done old-timey :lol::lol::lol:
