New Releases - 06/23

Famitsu 1316 is a rare issue of that mag that was squarebound as opposed to stapled.  Why?  I dunno.  The mag itself is 260 or so pages, which is nothing unusual, and although the included supplement pushes the page count to over 300, it still isn't without precedent for a Famitsu of that length to be stapled.  Maybe they just wanted it to look nice since it's the PS4 launch issue?  These are the questions that keep scholars and philosophers alike awake at night.

Get it HERE.

Yeah, I think I have 400 odd scans of Aral's on the NAS and I also have gladiator's CVG scans, all of which would be great to get uploaded so I can make inroads into my mag collection but all need some amount of editing.

Are you allowed to say what the magazines you have to scan are? Just for future reference so we're not scanning something you might have access to.

I've got a better idea.  Go ahead and scan what you've got.  If Kiwi DOES have access to anything you scan, well then he won't have to scan it, and that will free up some of his time to scan things that you DON'T have. 

While it may well be the case that Kiwi owns some of the same mags as other scanners here, it's absurd to expect Kiwi to be the one to scan them every time. 

As for the possibility of wasted duplication of effort, the odds of two people actually working on the same scan at the same time are incredibly slim, but if you're worried about it, that's what W.I.P. threads are for.

p.s. It occurred to me that your question could possibly have been worded incorrectly and what you meant to ask was if you could get a list of Araldite's scans which have already been submitted so that you don't duplicate any of that effort.  That's NOT what was asked, but hopefully that's what was meant, since it's at least a legit, inoffensive request.  I think it would be easier to just ask Kiwi if whatever mag you're planning to scan next has already been submitted, though, rather than have him type up a list of 400 issues.

Nice find.  I've never read any of them, but back when I used to download everything under the sun I got all the issues from 2012 till its cancellation in 2015.  I had no idea it had been around since the 90s. 

I wish every publisher did this.  It would sure make the lives of us scanners a hell of a lot easier by making scans unnecessary.  Imagine, having the luxury of using your free time to do things you enjoy!  Well, I can dream.

Never mind it was just a question. No offensive was intended.
