    Re: Saturn Apartments Indeed I am. They have a few copies in Nostalgia & Comics if you want to go have a preview. They also do 3 for 2 on Manga, so you can get volumes 1-3 for less than £20 if you're lucky.

    Game I designed just released: Relics of Fate

    If you are just starting out I suggest not going anywhere near a programming language like C++. Focus first on the creative side and understanding the process, which means using a tool that does a lot of the grunt work for you. My recommendation is to try Game Maker...

    SFX Anime Special 30th July+ Free FMA Brotherhood 2 Ep DVD

    I have yet to read it, but it's 3 pages half of which are images. A quick scan reveals references to WWII, paranoia, racism, and cooking. Angel Cop is referenced under racism, Gasaraki in an inner conflict discussion. There's also Code Geass mentioned. It sums up by saying Japan is split...

    SFX Anime Special 30th July+ Free FMA Brotherhood 2 Ep DVD

    SFX Anime Special 30th July+ Free FMA Brotherhood 2 Ep DVD

    SFX Anime edition I picked this up this morning and I have to say it's definitely not worth the £7.99 price tag for the gifts included. The poster is nice with Ponyo and Totoro to choose from. The badges are very cheap and the pin rattles a lot. The DVD is a welcomed, but it's an Eco-Disc...
