    Default Org Newspaper: Gahzette, April 2007

    The first issue of the Gahzette, the Org's very own newspaper, has just been released.

    The Gahzette reports on a wide variety of subjects from the nuts and bolts of modding the TW games to what's going on in the Tavern, and almost everything in between.

    This issue's feature article is a report on how to get the most out of your graphics card in Medieval 2: Total War, so if you've got that game, it's an absolutely essential read.

    There are also interviews with modders, commentary on the babes thread, and discussion of forums you've probably never heard of - so what are you waiting for? Grab it, and have a read!

    Comments are encouraged - please post up any issues/suggestions that you might have - and we're still looking for reporters, so if you're interested, pm me.

    Enjoy

    May I be the first person not affiliated with Tha Gahzette to say wonderful job. It was a very good read, and I liked how it flowed. Keep up the good work.

    Thumbs up Re: Gahzette, April 2007

    Looks nice, I will give it 8/10. Just a suggestion, the index at first page will be nicer if they are arranged in page order therefore giving easier time. Other than that, everything looks pretty good

    Ah - for those who don't know, you can click the second icon down on the left hand side of the page in reader to open the 'bookmarks' tab - the index is arranged in page order there

    Thanks for the tips Anyway, another suggestion, you might want to change the title thread to something like Gahzette - The Guild Official Newspaper - or - .org Newspaper - to attract more people, because many new members might have no idea what's Gahzette all about? Let alone opening this thread

    ha, TinCow, that was a hilarious writeup on Castles!

    Very well done indeed everyone - great info, nice writeups. This could be a great resource for showing the Org off to folks outside it. Any plans to publicise the Gahzette's existence?

    GREAT work guys.

    Just a minor nitpick, but the latest game was Mafia VI, not IV.

    pevergreen explained that by saying he was just using titles of old games. Or it could be a genuine mistake. I dunno.

    @Tran - I'll get a mod to do it

    @GH - that's my mistake - I obviously didnt' read pever's draft carefully enough when I was paraphrasing him

    Marvellous work. It was good to read, nicely laid out - and I learned something too!

    A hearty well done to all the team.

    Excellent job to all. I like the PDF format and all the graphics. I also like that it is "meaty" - not something I can read in one sitting. Keep up the great work.

    Excellent work by everyone involved. Just a technical note on the link if your not familiar with the format so that it is not broken right click to "Save Target as" and the pdf will download. Very enjoyable continue success.
