Revision as of 05:53, 9 January 2014

A gaming magazine in Australia, which is focused primarily on (shocker) PC gaming. It first began in 1997, and is still one of the most read gaming magazines down under, along with sister 'general gaming' magazine Hyper.

Home to Theo (the Shambler from ~~Unreal~~ Quake, who has a kitten called Xanatos) the Yellow Boots (a man with sweet yellow boots, and his crazy ex-third-flatmate) and the Guerrilla Gamer (the older, wiser, drunker game reviewer)

Also has a forum, which tries to promote intellectual discussion on series issues, before degrading into 'the Official MS Paint Duck Thread'. Was also home to Local Man Vs. God, one of the more epic tales on the internet.
