Really sorry there was no FoY material for this issue dude. I enjoyed this issue a lot! Rise of the Hidden Sun looks awesome, really really awesome (but the mirrors! :o) and the interview with Herculean Effort was a really good read.I really like the gossip section, I think it could be expanded? I'd be happy to read up on gossip that may be considered "out of date", a month old or what not. In a lot of magazines these days even a paragraph of news is interesting.

Great stuff though, nice work dimi!

Why thank you! But what do you mean by "the mirrors"?

For some (unknown to us) reason those who use firefox have to right click within the issues frame and click on 'reload' or 'refresh' or whatever option firefox has there, I can't really remember cause I uninstalled this junk of a browser some time after I installed it. It's slow, full of bugs and I don't plan to use it because some US defense ministry report said so. But for those unfortunate enough to still be using firefox, here is the direct link for the issue:

If you're not using Firefox but some other browser and you're still having difficulties with seeing the issue, excuse my mini-rant on Firefox, I'm just really tired of this 'get firefox' propaganda. On a different note, thanks Mods and Steve for the good words.Ã,Â @ SSH....hmmm don't know how I missed that. Let's all consider it an April's fool joke, shall we?Ã,Â

Edit: Oh and Zor I'm not saying that you are being wrong for using Firefox or anyone else who uses it, my rant is against the firefox propaganda-makers. There are loads of other browsers that are much better than firefox, I'd suggest everyone should give them a try.

Eh? Worked for me in firefox... Anyways this isn't a browser discussion thread so we should leave it at that.

Anyways, a really good issue. I liked the preview for Rise of the Hidden Sun especially. The review for Apprentice was good too. That first letter was also a classic

Keep up the good work.
