Editor's Note

Well, we're officially exhausted.

As you may have noticed, we missed the newsletter yesterday, thanks to deadline preoccupation. But we just fired off the last pages of issue 101 to the printers.

Yippee.

Since we've been hammer and tongs on the magazine this week, our selection of juicy site stories is a little sparse. But we still have some corkers.

Everyone at Atomic HQ's going to crawl off into a corner to sleep now, but keep an eye on the site next week as we storm back into our usual rapid fire story cycle.

And issue 101 goes in sale on the 14th - which means you don't have much longer to pick up your collector's edition Issue 100, with exclusive Avatar Poster. It's made of win.
