I'd appreciate an article on the reliability and function of the different airsoft grenades on the market, as well as their mechanism.

Yeah I found the little tidbit about "we can't help it if your and idiot," to be quite humorous.

As Darius said, spelling, check that.

Well as we all knows ins Oklahomas wese was all taought by somes of the best spelers in the countrees and wese ares reals prouds of that's... :lol: :lol:

When you are designer, editor, writer, photographer, and layout guy all rolled into one things can get dicey. Now add on to that that I graduated from the Putnam City School district in Oklahoma, not with good grades but more because they wanted my a$$ out of their building, then I'm already in a heap of trouble.

I hope as time goes on maybe I will be able to find or hire some help to make it even better, but that all depends on the community and advertisers.

I do like positive feedback though so keep it coming...

Seeing as how I have never used an airsoft grenade in my life and do not own any that will be a tough one to do. Maybe someone out there with the knowledge will step forward and submit an article on that.

i have worked as a graphic designer for about 9 years before i started doing sushi.

with desktop publishing the way it is, everyone thinks that they can throw up a filter or two, choose a font and they have a logo.

people dont know what GOOD design is. or what makes it GOOD, other then, " it looks cool to me"

then when they go to have it printed, and the printer tells them you can have 12 spot colors, but each plate is going to cost you 28 bucks, then the make ready and clean up, plus the stock you chose is far too light to hold the ink without bleeding, you will need to choose a much more expensive stock.


so what you thought would only cost 5 bucks per unit, is now like 75 bucks a unit. and impossible to print.


in looking at your document, it needs a lil more "reworking".

some of your headers and footers are uniform, then you loose it.
some of the pages have a ghosted image, that might not hold up so well to printing. some of the ads need a designers help.

looks better as a e'zine then a print media.
I am not half as good as I want to be, but I am twice as good as you think I am.
