The latest Edge just dropped through my letterbox. Hard to believe I've been buying and hoarding it since 1993.
Although I guess I get 90% of my info from the web these days I still love opening a new magazine and idly leafing through whilst drinking a cuppa. My web browsing tends to be rapid 'hit and run' updates (since this primarily happens during work hours), so the slower pace I find when reading print material is a rare treat.
Not sure I'll be doing it for much longer though as the tablet editions are getting quite some coverage and though I grant them some respect with 'interactive' features, I'm not sold on them whilst print is available.
Can't say I'm a fan of the newest Edge print format - the previous, larger format editions allowed some breathing space for the art direction. Still buying - but maybe that is simply a sign of OCD....
Your Computer, ZZAP64, ACE, The Games Machine were all staples through my schooling, with mags passed around and poured over during wet lunch breaks though it sounds prehistoric when I talk about them to my kids.
How many other still subscribe to a video game magazine? I'm sure it is old skool but, until they disappear completely, I'll always look forward to it dropping onto my footmat.

I should be ashamed). I used to buy a lot of computer-related magazines, been a long time reader of PC Gamer (issue 1 onwards), PC Format, Computer Arts etc., but stopped some years ago.
