What magazines/periodicles do you subscribe to? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Grondar · 04-20-2003, 06:12 AM

I currently subscribe to ESPN Magazine and Sports Weekly (formerly Baseball Weekly).

ESPN is bi-weekly, and Sports Weekly arrives weekly (heh), so I sometimes have trouble reading them both in their entirety, but I have fun trying.

We also used to get Discover here, but not sure if that subscription has ended or not.

What magazines do you subscribe to? Also, feel free to comment on the magazine quality, and why you like it.

bundy · 04-20-2003, 06:24 AM

the economist - the most serious mag around. excellent coverage for business and current affairs.
national geographic - classic adventure.
new scientest - for all my science needs (highly recommend for interesting articles)
the bulletin - respected aussie current affairs mag
gourmet traveller - yum yum yum and travel (what could be better)

phaulb · 04-20-2003, 06:29 AM

private eye , excellent satirical magazine from the uk
windows xp magazine

Mad_Gecko · 04-20-2003, 06:31 AM

Y'know since I got ADSL I don't subscribe to mags, most of em are online.

Used to be big on Economist, Loaded, Hot Rod and Mini Truckin'. (Though the last two are kinda impossible to get in the U.K.)

Mupwah · 04-20-2003, 06:32 AM

Maxim and Stuff. Better articles than Playboy. Besides you can always see playboy pics on the net a few days later.

sixate · 04-20-2003, 06:59 AM

Penthouse, Motor Trend, SuperStreet, Slam, and Men's Health.

It was a lot more, but I didn't renew a few subscriptions a few months back.

Spanky Johnson · 04-20-2003, 07:00 AM

PC Gamer, Maximum PC, Maxim, and Stuff.

phunktastic · 04-20-2003, 07:05 AM

Speaking of Stuff magazine, you can get two years of it for free without giving a CC# here

Woah! That is awesome! Thanks again! That is the 2nd time today you have helped me out.

I really appreciate that a lot, it's really cool of you to share something like that.

HeyAgain · 04-20-2003, 07:21 AM

Gamepro. A semi-decent video game magazine that I continue to get for the past 8 years now.

Fob_Magi · 04-20-2003, 07:33 AM

Maxim - I have had a subscription for 2 years but have purchased it for 5....

Stuff - currently no subscription but I have purchased about every other one for two years.

Discover - subscribed

IEEE Spectrum - Trade magazine free w/ IEE membership - sweet tech mag.

I'd love to resubscribe to National Geographic and blender.. but just cant afford it right now...

apetaster · 04-20-2003, 08:19 AM

Fine Homebuilding
Fine Woodworking
Reason
Car and Driver (don't know how I get it, as I hve never paid for it.)

kgb · 04-20-2003, 08:21 AM

I get PC Gamer, GamePro and Electronic Gaming Monthly. Somehow I only actually paid for PC Gamer but I am not going to complain about the others coming for free.

I also subscribe to Maxim, which in my opinion, is a terrible terrible magazine. I also get Reader's Digest but I just throw them away without opening them

Magpie0001 · 04-20-2003, 10:56 AM

Fark is all i need.

cdwonderful · 04-20-2003, 11:01 AM

Good Housekeeping, Oprah, and Nickelodeon for my Kids!

richeee · 04-20-2003, 11:03 AM

Way too many trade magazines (all free)
and like apetaster- Car & Driver, but no idea how or why.

snowy · 04-20-2003, 11:38 AM

I used to buy Cosmo and Glamour every month but decided they weren't teaching me anything new sex-skills/relationship wise and I can get fashion online. So now I just read my friend's copy of Maxim when he gets it, and that's good enough for me

It's also much cheaper to go to Borders for an afternoon and read all the magazines you want versus buying new ones. I also spend a lot of time at the doctor's office--also a good place to read lots of magazines

forseti-6 · 04-20-2003, 12:46 PM

I subscribe to Stuff and Time. My subscription of Maxim just ran out, but I probably won't renew it since it's similar to stuff, and I actually like stuff better. I used to subscribe to playboy, but got bored of it. I don't subscribe to Acoustic Guitar, but i pretty much buy every issue.

Ganguro · 04-20-2003, 12:54 PM

i dont subscribe to anything at the moment. because i knew i would be moving soon, and having magazines forwarded is a hassle.
I do have a big magazine fetish though..
I regularly buy

Giant Robot,Mass Appeal,Transworld Stance,Voluptuous & Xl girls,Wired,Asian Cult Cinema Monthly,While You Were Sleeping,Vapors

During my undergrad i used to be all into the rap/hiphop music scene and bough XXL, the Source, Fader, XLR8R, and some other technical journals about mixers and the like.. but i got too poor to continue buying 4-5 magazines a week.

Johnny Rotten · 04-20-2003, 12:57 PM

ratbastid · 04-20-2003, 01:59 PM

Wired, Smithsonian. Wife gets Psychology Today. I've bought the last three issues of Xbox Magazine at the newsstand, I'll probably subscribe pretty soon. I asked for a subscription to Heavy Metal for my birthday.

I also get more free computer trade rags than you can shake a two-by-four at.

redravin40 · 04-20-2003, 02:29 PM

I used to subscribe to quite a few but for a lot of reasons I let the subscriptions go. They included Mother Jones, Cemetary Dance, Writers Digest, Utne Reader, HorrorShow, The Realist, and NewsWeek.
Now the only one I have a subscription to is Bitch. It's a great socil commentary/arts magazine. I give the copies to my daughters after I'm done reading them.

RaZ · 04-20-2003, 03:07 PM

I subscribe to a bunch of dull psychology journals.

thenewguy · 04-30-2003, 06:16 AM

The Sun

By far and away the best magazine published. The only one I have read with any consistency for the last 7 years. And the only one I've ever seen with a lifetime subscription (yours or theirs) for $1,000.

blkdmnd · 04-30-2003, 06:26 AM

Time
Sports Illustrated
Boating
local business mags

04-30-2003, 07:48 AM

Various over the years, but all I get now:

The New Yorker, which I can never quite get caught up on.

Funny Times, which my step-daughter reads as well.

Maximum PC, in an effort to keep somewhat abreast of the technology.

Macheath · 04-30-2003, 07:48 AM

New Scientist
Guardian Weekly

rockogre · 04-30-2003, 10:02 AM

Popular Science, Mens Health

Oh and American Iron. It doesn't cover Norton motorcycles but it is informative and it was a gift.

Scorpio · 04-30-2003, 10:05 AM

I really enjoy Men's Health simply because of all the good articles on working out, diets, clothes, and of coarse sex!
