BOSTON, MA – In the mid-morning hours last Saturday, a upset Boston mom called the police to complain that her 14-Year-Old son turned on all of the lights in the house and wouldn’t stop playing “Grand Theft Auto.” I don’t have anything to say except even though the police were likely bored at 2:30 a.m. and appreciated the comical call, this must be considered a waste of tax payers money. Be a mom. Ground your kid to his room and take away his T.V. and internet privileges. Spank the ingrate.

rg60As many of you know, Retro Gamer is the world’s best (and only I think) retro gaming magazine published by Imagine Publishing.  I’ve been collecting them on and off.  As they are quite expensive here in the U.S., I’m never terribly disappointed when I miss an issue… but I do find myself lamenting the fact I missed this issue or that issue.

In this month’s issue (Final Fantasy on the cover) there is a special offer.  For $80 USD (normally 80 pounds sterling) you can get 13 issues delivered to your doorstep. The ad says:

To subscribe online:  http://www.imaginesubs.co.uk/RET

And Quote USA.

When I went online to do this the USA code failed.  If you’re not paying attention you’ll end up buying the 13 magazines for $80 pounds so be careful!  However, you can call them directly using Skype (or if you have international service on your cell phone it’s possible to dial as well.)

My wife gave me this subscription for Christmas so I called the phone number  in the article.  It’s a nearly $60 savings for the mag!

USA Offer expires March 2010

$80 USD for 13 issues (38% off normal subscription rate – Normally 80 pounds sterling!)
