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.

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...

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

Playboy, Popular Science, Computer Gaming World. All my other info I get online.

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

GamePro and EGM, got them both for free.

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.

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.

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!

SecretMethod70 04-30-2003 10:22 AM

gov135 04-30-2003 11:17 AM

Lets see..

National Geographic - the best photography, inserts, writing. Very happy when it comes.

Sports Illustrated - i used to suscribe to ESPN the mag and dropped it for SI. SI has more indepth articles and less space devoted to trying to be funny (idiot top-ten lists, etc.)

The girlfriend on the other hand... is a magazine nut. Just crazy, Cosmo, InStyle, US, - if its trashy and involves other peoples lives (celebs gauking) she buys it or suscribes to it. Ton of money down the crapper. BUT, its not really my businees, though I make fun of her. She really enjoys reading them, and goes through them cover to cover.

Sparky 04-30-2003 11:26 AM

National Geographic and Car & Driver.
A friend gave me a Playboy subscription, but I wouldn't pay for it.

I get US News & World Reports every week for the past three years, but I've never subscribed and I've never paid a penny. The address label says that I will continue to receive it until 2014, so we'll see.

I don't know why I get it.

davidc209 05-01-2003 09:01 PM

I'm subscribed to quite a few different magazines. I take them to work when I'm done reading them and let others take 'em home and enjoy them.

Currently..
Discovery, Scientific American, Maxim, Playboy, Time, National Geographic, Snowboarder, Cycle World, Motorcyclist, and a few others.


I started taking them to work to give them to people immediately after reading them after cleaning out about 300 lbs of mags last year that I accumulated over the previous several years.

JohneySupernuts 05-01-2003 09:12 PM

Wizard Magazine (comics)
Gamepro (multiplatform gaming)
Popular mechanics (duh)

But I'm gonna let it expire and just buy each issue, because the discount is so small for subscription that it will be about the same or less money (depending on current exchange rates) for me here in Canada.

We had quite a large list at one point ranging from Sports Illustrated, Forbes, Golf Digest, Readers Digest, PC World, PC Magazine, Road & Track, Car and Driver, Better Business, Maxim...and I'm sure countless others I can't remember...

Whenever someone travels in the family, we usually don't make enough frequent flyer miles to account to anything, so we just waste them on free magazine subscriptions instead!
