The Escapist

The latest issue of The Escapist (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/17) is totally cool.

It's essentially the feminist issue, for lack of a better description. Now the reason I say it's totally cool this time is not because of the writing--too much psychological analysis (and there's plenty of it in this issue) really falls into the blah blah masturbation blah category for me--but because of the theme. It's fantastic to have a gaming magazine with a unified theme each week. That realization has been growing on me for the last month or so, but I think this issue really drove it home.

Any traditional print magazine that mentions women in gaming will do it with one article. The Escapist does it with five, all more in-depth than that single article would have been in the print magazine.

Great job.
