New Leaked Future Logo

A virtual girlfriend? Interesting. Can I put my "Joy-Stick" in your "Rear-Socket"?

Rear-socket? Surely you mean 9-pin DIN socket?

Whatever floats your boat. But there will always be a special place in my heart for the 9-Pin D-Sub, the controller socket of coice throught the eighties, from the humble Atari 2600, to the mighty Amiga and Megadrive.

;)

Fsckery!

I meant the D-sub. Bugger. Who cares about that s**tty PS/2 pluggies. Atari, Commodore. Them's the gods.

Just think, in a coupla decades and the kids'll be reminiscing about USB sockets. Fscking geeks. LOL.

Ha ha ha. To be fair I couldn't remember it's name without the help of Google. I'm a true plastic geek - perhaps it's for the best ;)

Speaking of Future, which I know we weren't, Danny Wallace, one time Sega Power games bitch, but now internationally famous author/cult leader is in the SPOnG office today.

If any of you haven't read his book, it's available from here.

Or you can just join him..

It's not a cult, it's a collective. Or Something.

OK so how about:

Hey, hey!

This forum thread gets a mention in this week's MCV's back page "off the record" section.

Nice one, megkatz.

Nice 'shoppage.

And here it is:




I'm a bit concerned about the mention of the "Weekly enmployee quiz" which sounds like a dire institutionalisation of a thing I started when I was at Future, called the Amiga Format Heathers Lunchtime Poll.

Each day (but sporadically, with occassional long gaps), we'd ask a provocative question to an invited "panel" via email, then we'd anonymise the replies and broadcast them with the next day's question. It made for some VERY interesting reading - empowered by the strict (and VERY serious) vow of anonymity, people were prepared to reveal allsorts of things. And because Futture was more of a family in those days, everyone knew and cared about everyone else's business. It was kind of like the Waltons, but with a strong publishing slant.

I couln't resist jumping on the bandwagon.

Im reverse order of immaturity & crassness:

I can't BELIEVE that's the REAL LOGO. What HAS HAPPENED to Future?

Did you guys used to work in their Bath office?

Anyway, I must go, I need to watch Working Lunch.

I see what you did there.
