It's not a book book. It's a book-that-comes-free-with-a-magazine book. Do Canadian bookstores reguarly import all the hot UK-based PC general entertainment and information magazines?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Then the US must have really a xenophobic press culture. I can go down to central Stockholm, visit "Press Center" and buy ten UK game-rags.

I wouldn't know. Not being in Canada and all. But most general entertainment bookstores here do carry the PCF magazine, so I am happily in touch with the outside world.

Do they carry the UK version though, or an evil subpar Canadian version for people who live in Canada and who are Canadian.
The Myst review is in the latest mag, by the way. And, er, some photos of the staff. They look a bit nerdy.

Bath is in the South West of the country. It has more Georgian arcitecture than anywhere else in the country, and is suppossed to be quite nice. Apparently.
If you want, you could go into your local Canadian bookstore and purchase this months issue. My Myst IV review is in it. Read it, and learn about Myst IV. And then look at the girl on the cover and realise that some men wank to that. The girl, not the monitor. Although maybe they do, for all I know.

Flat monitors are sexy.
And I do wish to learn. But I insist the knowledge be pure. Send it to me, so that I may study your teachings in their holiest, unedited form, and save my thoughtful self a long trip to the Canadian bookstore. In Canada.

See, this is what happens when you live below sea level. No-one can see you down there, and they forget where you are.

Well, considering the U.S. and Europe generally has different release dates and localizations or games that are imported to one place and not the other, I'm not that surprised.

How will sending you the magazine make it more unedited that you buying it yourself? It will still have the same mildly inappropriate woman on the cover. Yes. Besides, you must have a copy already to know that it is made in Bath. I win. Watch me dance!

Not the magazine. The review itself. With all the sarcastic remarks and gore and naked bits intact.
And I looked the Bath thing up on PCF's own website. So, no.
(Also, mildly inappropriate? The mag has been adorned by mildly inappropriate covers like that for at least seven billion issues. It's about one centerfold removed from Hustler now.)

They did take the girls off the cover for a while, and replaced them with sexy photos of graphics cards. And, sorry to say, their sales went down. So they put them back on, and they went back up. The staff think it's mildly pathetic, but hey, it makes more people buy the magazine.
(At least they do take the piss sometimes now too. Certainly not many other magazines have a photo which looks like a woman is about to give head to a graphics card).
I can send it to you if you really want, although the sarcastic bits they took out aren't that many. And they did replace my EA Sports jab with a much better 3D realms one.
(Actually, I apparently get the copyright to everything I write back within 3 months. So I could run around with the pdf files horing up Bittorrent.)
