The bond between the Special Reserve Discount Magazine and the official PS2 magazine grows weirder by the day. As you know, I have accused them of nicking the old Special Reserve 'Bullseye' review system and the previous issue had a very similar text effect to the one used by me in my Formula One 2001 page. However, the similarities do not end there.

We now have copies of our mag placed in with subscription copies of the PS2 mag. Our latest front cover (The Bouncer) looked quite similar to the first copy of the official PS2 mag, the one with Tekken Tag. This was through no fault of our designer, Mark. Then, this month, he started to knock up a test front cover with Gran Turismo 3 on it, as it was the biggest game of the month. Merely hours later, the latest copy of the official PS2 magazine arrived at SR Towers. The cover - almost uncannily similar to the one Mark had designed moments earlier, even using the same picture and rounded box effect. Woooooo!

So is it co-incedence? Is it a mole? Who knows.

"Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?"

"No I bite my thumb at your monkey, sir?"


It would work quite well for Shakespeare, too!!

See?

So how better you all feel for this?
A smile on your lips at the mere mention of the word "monkey"

You know it makes sense.


"You wanna buy a monkey?"
"I spit on your monkey"
"You spit on my monkey? Why would you spit on my monkey?"

More monkeys.

We want more monkey stuff.

Monkey stuff would elevate you and seperate you from PS mags the world over.

Look, even Mr Snuggly agreres, Primates are his mates.

So, in summary, more monkeys is the way forward.

Darkus, with a well aimed paper ball, could you hit Mr Snuggly in the head with it from where you are sitting?

Not that you should. I just think it would be funny.
