crap, I'd have to drive to the next city over to get it. Any idea when it will hit the shelves?
ReplyDeleteI saw that today at the library. There was pretty much nothing on him in there except a paragraph about SSR3.
ReplyDelete'Course, I didn't look too hard. >_>
I had that exact same idea on that art. I wanted to use that picture in two cases and it turns out they used it first! Ha.
ReplyDeleteI have that issue, but I didn't know AI will cease publication...First EGM, now this. This is a bad year to be a magazine, I can already tell.
ReplyDeleteI was considering putting off scanning the relevant bits until this issue had been taken off the stands. Now what?
A small snippet of a scan couldn't hurt :)
ReplyDeleteHere ya go.
