I just got another say in PC Gamer (UK) and it's always a cool feeling to see your words in print. Has anyone else here had something put out there?

That's pretty awesome Huntey. Unfortunately i've never gotten notoriety enough to have my words printed. Have you had anything else published?

"published" is perhaps too strong a word, seeing as they're reader opinion sections, but yes:

Those are well written. I can see why they got published.
I've never gotten a thing published in a magazine, possibly only because I've never actually written in. I seem to have the habbit of thinking things to write about on issues that are already months, if not years, old.
In regard to the X article on last year's issue 312,...

That's some accomplishment. You're smart and articulate, so it's not surprising that you are becoming a writer.

And of course, this is my latest book.

I have no idea how it's selling, because the publisher keeps that a secret, even to the author.

Don't you get royalties from every book sold?
Aren't you supposed to get royalties?

PCG responds.. "mmmffff mmmm mmfffff!"

What kind of responce is that for a journalist? is that a magazine for the mentally challenged?

it's like dialog from a jay and silent bob movie

Ii have to agree with Satchmo here. Your articles there are interesting and humurous to read, whilst sticking to the point.

Psilous clearly doesn't play TF2.

I'm pretty sure Psilous is trolling.

No, it's not in my contract.

I get paid a flat fee to write the book, and that's it. My agent takes a cut from my fees.

Archie is correct, it is a pretty awesome feeling. Even more so when you get "Hot Mail" (PCGamer's letter of the month) :D
