Zing... maxim has better content although lacks the goods. Though I was pissed off at the olivia munn playboy so they're on the same level.

^ This Wet promotion bullshit is having the opposite effect...

I am never going to buy this game thanks to their stupid promo idea with these dumb links.

Oh he's promoting Wet? I never even knew what the links were, I just assumed general penis enlargement-type spam.

That won't keep me from trying the game, though. Honestly, it's bound to be overlooked as it is. I can't blame them for trying to get more publicity as I'm sure they spent way too much money getting Eliza Dushku to crap out the voice for the main character when any random VA could do it just as well.

My old roommate was a big fan of Maxim, and always left a huge stack of them in the bathroom

It's gotta be the stupidest f-ing magazine I've ever "read", if you can call sifting through page after page of ads trying to find an article "reading"

You'll have upwards of 5 pages of ads for each page of article, and most of the articles are just thinly-veiled advertisements themselves

Terrible, terrible magazine

@Help me

Man, if you think that's bad, you should try wading through Cosmopolitan. There's like 18 ads before you even get to the contents page, not to mention how ridiculously sexist the whole thing is.

One jerk does not a campaign make. It's quite possible that Sting is simply some kind of crazed fan.

Wrong. Playboy does good journalism, on top of having pictures of naked ladies. Maxim is just trash, on top of not actually showing anything.

Check it, and try informing yourselves before spouting off on shit you know nothing about.

As a 12 year old I didn't even see my mail until my parents looked at it. I understand why she's pissed, I was a bit surprised myself, but next time just get rid of it before your 12 year old sees it...

good point. there's no need to bring attention to it if he doesn't even notice. all she has to do is call and ask for the subscription to be canceled, and tell him that EGM tanked.

@Sly

I actually find that if you encounter a problem with a business and report it to your local news station, the problem gets solved fairly quickly. Where I live in NC, we have a feature on the news called Action 9 where you can report businesses ripping you off, over-billed, misled, etc... and the station contacts the company resulting in getting the problem solved most of the time. It's really great if you're getting a bad deal from a business.

I'm not saying that I think the mom is right or wrong, but I do think reporting your displeasure to news stations about businesses practices can often times lead to resolving your problems.

Heh, I remember when I got an issue of EGM that had a tutorial on how to turn an Atari 2600 controller into a *cough* "Adult toy" *cough* and my mother was not exactly pleased. That was, shall I say, titillating reading?

psh, most 12 year olds have seen much more. it's amazing how pussified the world has become. i dare anyone to go to a police officer and say "fuck" 5 times. it's a WORD, does it really mean ANYTHING? and why is nudity so bad? it's NATURAL! showing killing is fine, but not a tit? we really need to reconsider some of our ideals...

nutman, are you talking to me? i don't think i'm 'enlightening' anyone. i just think it's stupid that everyone cares so much about meaningless words and nudity, even though much worse things are accepted as fine. see how you called me a douchebag? i don't care, you can call me whatever you want. i'm cool with it. you know why? because we're both faceless posters on the internet. what we say doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things, because frankly, no one truly gives a damn.

Fuck - Noun - From the German "Ficken" or "to Fuck" or, less to the point, to "strike"

Actually, that is but one answer, for no one knows for sure where the word originated

@ ArchiGamer & Schmil:

If you would like to be considered for a position among the team, simply state your country of origin and the power you wish to control (be original!)

The Planeteer Foundation is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE). Qualified applicants are considered for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status (though we prefer brown people overall). If you need assistance or an accommodation during the application process because of a disability, it is available upon request (Ma-Ti is more than willing to "help" you). The company is pleased to provide such assistance, and no applicant will be penalized as a result of such a request (unless you're asian).

redass - that's what i was referring to. you'll get your ass kicked for saying a word that most people don't even know the real meaning of.

shmil, archi - just ask cap if you can apply, and list your preferred country and power. i am UK - Power of Tea & Crumpets, even though i'm american. so choose anything (as long as it helps the earth).
