when i got the the august issue of NOM i noticed a slight problem. The mag appeared to have been printed twice.

Well i phoned their helpline and nothing like my problem had been reported.

Well here is visual evidence.

GUIDE TO PICS

http://www.geocities[SPACE] .com/semajal/brokenNOM.jpg

read guide and look at pics in order they are mentioned. :)

pic A= one side of my NOM mag

pic B= me turning NOM mag over, both nintendo official magazine things visable.

pic c The reverse of the mag. (i had to flip it around so it was the correct way up.

More evidence-

Pics D and E are the editorials in each section. one of them refers to this edition as being sepmember edition. but i have the september edition. its the one with starfox. hmm

and finally

F- the centre of the mag where it flips over. See!

well theres also G. Some good marketing tactics employed by SR :D

anwyay. Did anyone else 1. Buy that issue of NOM and 2. have the same problem?

My mag's not like that I don't think, can't be bothered to check.

Reading it i've realised how much NOM still sucks, they write terrible reviews, for a big magazine like that you'd think they could get some decent writers.

well my only explaination for this is that they had 2 reviews and instead of putting them both together in mag in normal way they decided to make 2 mages and stick em together. *gets annoyed at customer services for not telling him and saving embarresment*

WHY IS IT LIKE THAT! its so annoying to try and read. specially at breakfast table. You end up knocking over your cereal when you try and flip it over. I don't want flipable mags. ArggggGGGGGGGGGgggggggg

hmm

whats weird is that when i couldn't work out why the mag was like that (made finding stuff flipping impossible) i phones cutomer services and they had not heard of anything like it. but on actually reading that lil thing at the begining (i never read it, always try and find interesting reviews first) it says you can flip it. Wel wtf? i prefer my magazines straight. this way you are flicking though and suddely its backwards. Hmm, how come customer services thingy didn't say "its meant to be stupid and impossible to read" to me when i phoned em. Is it meanto to be some marketing test? make half the mag upside down so you can "flip" it? Is it meant to be exciting? arg *slaps head for not reading the editorial* hmm well twas later in the evening last night. And having spent 6 hours solidly online for pa i am a bit delerious.

*runs away*
