Ahoy mates! I need some British help

[Onkel Neal]

Hey guys, I just heard the there will be some British magazines running Silent Hunter 4 ads, with some bit from a Subsim article and our logo. Naturally I would love to snag a couple copies to impress my girlfriend (ever since she discovered I'm not a reserve astronaut, things have been tense). If you read or can get a couple copies of the following magazines, please let me know. I will send a Subsim Almanac or a Subsim coffee mug to you if you can send me a copy of one of the mags below with the Subsim/SH4 advert:

PCZine, Issue 27-Feb

PC Zone, issue 179 on 1-Mar

PC Format, issue 199 on 15-Mar

PC Gamer, issue 173 on 15-Mar

I believe the issue # and dates are accurate. Of course, the issue should have the SH4 ad in it with Subsim, that's how you know for sure it's the proper issue.

thanks!
Neal

I'll see what I can do about the PCGamer one Neal, I know the local supermarket usually stocks it :D

[Onkel Neal]

Ok,.. hmm… :hmm: maybe I should revise my offer, it makes it sound like a free-for-all and since you guys will need to BUY the mags and SHIP them, it'll cost you $$. And I really don't need 20 people all sending me 4 magazines. So, instead of first person to send all 4, maybe we should set up who will send what. I will send your choice, mug or book, thanks Oberon.

Anyone else have a line on the other 3 mags? :ping:

thanks
Neal

There not cheap Neal any where in the £2.50 up wards for magazines I will see if those titles are in near me tomorrow and check the exact price of them.

[Onkel Neal]

Ok, understood. I you prefer I can repay you for the cost of the mag and shipping, and a book for your time. Just let me know.

cheerio
Neal

PCGamer is usually £5.99 I think coz of the DVD of demos that come with it. That much I do know....the others, I guess it depends what comes with them. No discs will probably make them cheaper.

[mr chris]

Hi Neal i will see what i can pick up in the NAFFI:up:

Edit: Could one not just order them through the intrenet and get them sent on to SS HQ.
I will see if this is possible.
Edit : Well i have sent a messeage to my parents back in the uk reserve a copy of each at my old local newsagents in the uk and my they will mail them all to you if they can get hold of them all.

[DanCanovas]

i can do it, just give me a shout if you need me to send anything. don't want to send anything if others are. just to know im available if you want me to send them.

[mr chris]

Dan i think it best if you take care of send these magazines it would be easyer for two sort it out than myself.:up:

Aye good idea as normal Steed:up:

[flintlock]

(ever since she discovered I'm not a reserve astronaut, things have been tense)lol -- I almost sprayed a mouthful of coffee all over my monitor when I read that bit. Priceless. ;)

[lesrae]

Been incommunicado in darkest Scotland for the last couple of days so I'm chipping in late - just shout if you need a hand sorting anything out Dan.

[DanCanovas]

right no worries. Neal ill get it sorted for you. need some instructions etc where to send. Is it all the mags Neal? the sooner you give me a shout the better and i can pop in tomorrow to see if they got it. the problem is that they are often wrapped now so you cant read them but ill tear one open

[DanCanovas]

had a butchers today afetr work and don't think those are available just yet. ill keep my eye out over the next week or so unless those release dates are solid

[Linton]

How about contacting the publishers and getting them to email the pieces to the ONKEL.Problem solved.

[lesrae]

PC Format, PC Zone and PC Gamer mags are all Future Publishing mags (based in Bath) and single issues are available to the US from their website here: http://www.futurenet.co.uk/futureonline/ (http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/store/custompage.asp?customid=46&custid) (http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/ for)for (http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/ for) about $20 each.

Saying that, they don't seem to offer any compound postage so I think it'd still be cheaper for 1 person to buy them and post the lot.

[DanCanovas]

neal give me a shout before I buy them. its no problem at all to send if you need me to.

[Onkel Neal]

Thanks, Dan. Tell you guys what, if/when you come across one of the issues mentioned above, grab it and post here. We all check the forums regularly. If I have to I can get them from the publisher but I thought it would be fun to send out a search party. Good training, we may have to go after Drebbel next :)

[Onkel Neal]

Ahoy Dan,
the ad is in PC Zone, the April issue, should be on page 77 or so.

[Onkel Neal]

Ahoy mates!

Ol' Oberon has set me up with March 15th UK issue of PCGamer.:up:

Anyone comes across any of the others?

No fear, if not, I can always get them direct from the publisher.

[lesrae]

I saw a copy of PC Zone (179) in town today so I've picked it up, let me know if you want it or not Neal, it's sealed in a bag so I won't open it unless you don't want it.

[Onkel Neal]

Sure, go ahead and open it, so you can check and see if the ad is there. If it is, mail it to

Neal Stevens
Dow Chemical
400 W Sam Houston Pkwy S
Office 4C1A
Houston, Texas 77042

and include a return address and you choice of $$, a Subsim mug or the 2007 Submarine Almanac
