Oh nice another issue of GUFU monthly. Great job guys. I liked the interviews will Kevin-V and Tom McShea. I liked hearing their reactions of going into a thread on SW after they review a game

fabz_95

GUFU Monthly? We may have a number of GUFU members but that's because a lot of GUFU members showed interest in joining SWM. We have non-GUFU members and we have many members that were SWM members before they were GUFU members. Also, is there a problem with us having many GUFU members? I don't see many people wanting to join the team so is it our fault that most of the SWM team consist of GUFU members? Next time, don't be so rude.

Wow sorry I struck such a nerve with you there buddy. When I looked at the contributors I saw pretty much list of people with GUFU emblems in their sigs.

Did I say it was bad that it was GUFU members? I actually gave you guys praise and said you did a nice job on this issue. Next time, don't be so defensive.

Also, I see the part two isn't showing to be 790 pixels wide. That's fairly odd. I would manually try to make them bigger darkspine so they're 790 pixels wide. The text is rather difficult to read for the older folk, or the one's without 20/20 vision. Furthermore, my post did not have IronBass's fixed GotM version in it.

If I may recommend waiting for the pdf, though the quality isn't as perfect as these images here, it certainly has the magazine esque appeal to it and what I rekon', a better experience to read through. :P

Due note there is a pdf, and I have it uploaded to "megaupload" currently if anyone is impatient and wishes to download it now--hit me up with a PM and I'll give you a link. Otherwise, wait for the_game21x to upload it to his site.

Yes, pdf is sized right. And you can always zoom in and out to get a better feel, I feel the correct ratio for me is 66.7% for viewing the pdf.

Thats because sombody copy/pasted a scaled down version of those renders.

If you have Firefox = Right click -- show image -- zoom -- copy and paste

That's how Jethro reviews, he likes being rather "critical." He amuses me with his writing to no end. *bows down to Jethro* Even if I disagree with him, I steer clear from arguing with him. :lol:

Yeah I was just reading that as well. I mean don't own the game but I've played it and didn't think it was bad at all. I guess it just didn't appeal to him

Or you can just edit the post, click on the picture, and on the little box on the top right hand and click and drag to make it 790 pixels wide.... ;)

Its easier to "show image" in Firefox and copy it at its proper resolution. The files are at the correct size right now, but someone quoted the "scaled to fit screen" version :/

Ahh I didn't even think of zooming in. That does help a lot. Plus I won't have to wait for the PDF and can continue procrastinating studying for finals

Wow, excellent work guys! I can tell that a great deal of effort went into creating this. It is wonderful that even the GameSpot reviewers have jumped on board and contributed to SWM. I look forward to seeing your coverage of the big titles being released in May and the announcements at E3 come June! :)

Thank Sky. :) It was a really awesome to get Lark Anderson, Tom McShea, and Kevin VanOrd to contribute to this month's issue.
