OMG OMG OMG!!!
So I awoke to what seemed to be an ordinary Saturday morning. I rolled out of bed with my hair still awry and film on my teeth and shuffled over to "Central Command" (the room my roommate--Belnessari DuBastyra--dubbed since both computers are located in there). With one sock up and the other half off, I sit down to log in. I am startled by my phone going off as my cat pounces on my desk meowing for his morning grub. It's an old friend of my mine on the phone calling to wish me a happy birthday to which I respond,
"Yeah, thanks, one year older and I still haven't reached 0.0 space."
Of course, he hasn't a clue of what I'm talking about. The convo deteriorates into a brief exchange of what I have planned for the day before my cat becomes totally unbearable. I hang up with my bud and feed the cat. I return to see a couple of b-day notes in the Eve-mail from my corp mates (thanks guys). My parents have a dinner planned and as I slowly pull myself together, I hear the mail man pass by. The whirl of his little engine is something I've come to listen for having waited for the previous issues. Not thinking anything of it (since the last time it took me about four weeks before I got my issue), I'm thinking to receive the latest bills and a few adverts, but lo and behold: An oversized white plastic mailer. My eye's quickly dialate as I stand elated in the street next to the mail box. It was like a scene from a horror movie when the door the victim is trying to get to suddenly pulls away as if it were moving against the escape attempt. Snatching the package, I quickly bound up the drive way and into the house in one swoop of action!
All I have to say is WOW! Great issue! I especially like the articles by DigitalCommunist, James Lyrus, the Story by Fran Macjus...awesome awesome awesome. I really like to read the interviews about the staff at CCP, what a wonderful way to personalize a such a fun company. (Hey, Mr. PTtursson, can I call you Redd?--maybe I better not, he is wearing a Guristas t-shirt after all...hmm, the CEO of CCP is also the CEO of the Guristas!--Inconcievable!) The ads look great!Props to the Mercenary Coalition (LOL)! What a fun ad! Truly an example of saying more with less.
Yeah, yeah, the dinner went great. Got some good stuff. Went out. Got drunk. Endymius DuBastyra (another corp mate of mine) puked. But the best part of it all was the Mag. Thanks guys! This is the fastest delivery to date and I am one satisfied customer! Keep up the good work and thanks for making my birthday a very memorable one.
