What magazines/periodicles do you subscribe to?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
