What magazine(s) you read?

I found that most people I know read Time [including me].

I am looking for a good science/tech magazine to subscribe to, and I am considering New Scientist.

Don't care much for magazines myself, although I have been reading game developer lately, only because i got a free subscription.

I got a years subscription to New Scientist for christmas 2005. Despite months of warning emails that it's coming to an end, they're still sending me copies.

I asked for the subscription mainly because, since graduating uni, I was feeling as though I was completely cut off from the scientific world. I've really enjoyed reading it, and keeping up to date with what's going on. Their features are often excellent, and they will usually do a special when there is an issue getting a lot of current exposure (bird flu, for instance). My main complaint is that a weekly is just too much. As I do most of my reading travelling to and from work, reading it cover to cover, I end up finishing one issue just as the next arrives! I also only managed to read about 4 books over the whole of last year. I was so excited to be reading books after christmas this year that I stopped reading New Scientist, and now have about 8 issues still in their wrappers. I really should make sure the subscription is cancelled...

Anyway, I think it's a good magazine, but if you only manage a small amount of reading each week, it can monopolise your time. I'm thinking of trying a monthly next, possibly Focus.

Playboy and PCGamer

Game Informer.

I read TIME magazine, and sometimes National Geographic.

I use to read Gamepro all the time...but meh.

Wooden Boat, and Guitar World(stupid magazine, but I got a free subscription)

I used to read PCGamer. It started sucking real bad around 2003. I wonder if it's gotten any better.

Just NGC, but I think my subscription runs out soon and I probably won't get it renewed. I don't really ever get around to reading them that often, which I guess is perfect since it's a monthly magazine, but I've got other stuff to be doing with that time (like finishing Romance of the Three Kingdoms).

Maxim and Discover

New Scientist.

And i used to collect Sonic the Comic.

Which... was a comic.

Not a magazine.

Nevermind.

The Sonic comic series was awesome. I miss reading those.

Holy ****! Someone else read Sonic comics when they were young? I have a small collection of those comics under around issue 100. I grew up reading those.

But I haven't touched one in years and years. They were the best when they didn't take themselves so seriously.

i had pretty much every single one.

Including the one where SOnic was a human, and was called ERIN!

HA! THATS ME! in your FACE!

Bizarre, Reason, and The Economist are the three main ones I tend to read.

I don't read many anymore -- last year, I had a bunch of free and/or really-cheap subscriptions, so I'd read Computer Gaming World, Electronic Gaming Monthly and Motor Trend ($2.99/yr! I need to find another deal..)...I might've had PC World or something too; I can't recall.

I read a couple of Aussie mags, names Hyper which is a really good roundup of console and PC games and tech, and Motor which is Aussieland's best car magazine.

Popular Science and Popular Mechanics.

Been reading both since 1992.

Wired

I'm subscribed to a few ACM and IEEE journals. I do most of my reading online though.

Edge, Bizarre and Empire.

I got 3 free months of Nintendo Power that I read.

I don't really read magazines, although if I have a longish train journey I can usually kill it with a copy of NME.

I get a subscription of Business Week right now. I don't read it cover to cover, but it does have a lot of really interesting articles.

I also page through Wired occasionally, but never buy it. >.<

I don't currently receive any subscriptions I actually want (just an entire freaking forest in the crap I get of the old tenants), but if I had time to read magazines I'd probably subscribe to the Economist and the National Geographic--basically publications with articles you can't find on the internet.

Esquire
GQ
Soldier of Fortune
Guitar World

I've somehow managed to get on the mailing list for "Lucky Magazine", despite having not subscribed to it. It makes for a good vent cover whenever my roommate jacks up the heat.

As for magazines I actually do read, I read PC World.

National Geographic
Technology Review
Scientific American
The ASME magazine

I'm a nerd.

PC World
PC Gamer

Cosmogirl, Girl's Life and Seventeen.

Wired, BEMag, and Daily Bread.

I used to swear by GI, but it started to really suck when they fired half the writers and hired a bunch of poor writers. The lack of real journalism in gaming magazines astonishes me.



How?

I get Wired but I'm starting to dislike it more and more.

If you want a good technology/science magazine try and get ahold of MIT Technology Review. It's an excellent magazine.

Time and Wizard

National Geographic and Discover.
