Blah. I have various people that I'm supposed to be emailing or otherwise contacting, and I don't have enough energy. I'm sitting on irc watching conversations happen because I don't feel up to saying anything.

One of the things I need to say is this:

OK, so an acquaintance of mine from irc is looking for a special edition of the US version of PC Gamer magazine. While my local Borders stocks the US import of the regular PC Gamer (with & without cover disc), we're not sure whether it'll have the special edition.
