    [​IMG] I just read through my PC Gamer for this month and I am *livid*. :flaming: Extended Play, Dan Morris' column about the modding community, is up to a hogging 7 pages!

    Ever since Dan became the EIC, he's developing a severe case of megalomania. He crops his pictures to hide his hair loss and buffs out his precious column. I haven't seen a thing from Chuck Osborne's Killing Box for 3 months. The Wargamer, Mark Walker, has been MIA for just as long and Desslock is getting shafted, too. Andy Mahood's Sim column is usually there, which is surprising. :mad: :nolike:

    My prayer goes out to the Magazine Gods: please put Gaz back as EIC!

    I was wondering why there was so much of that in the last issue; I guess this explains it. :rolleyes:

    OTOH, the extended play stuff is about as interesting and informative as The Killing Box and Wargamer were....just, erm...not on the same subjects.

    I dunno if I'll rant about megalomania, since I haven't paid any damn attention, but I suppose that's one explanation...

    I don't have it just to read about Dan. I want to read about the rest of the staff. TBH, I don't read Extended Play because it talks about mods for games I can't stand and/or play. :grr:

    Seems all that's left are the letters, the staff's playlist and D.J.'s release meter. Even the tech stuff by the Vede grabs my interest. :rolleyes:

    Heh. Morris clearly got the boot; no warning, and nary a mention of his leaving the company.
