[AGD]

Tell us what your reading!!

[thei3ug]

i used to read every one i could get my hands on: namely APG, pb2x, pgi, and paintball magazine.

But when I found out I can get info months before it happened on the internet... that sort of fell apart.
now I just look for the pictures.

[udtseal]

I voted for APG but I also read Paintball Magazine. I have subscriptions for both. Hope that helps!! :)

[Omicron]

i voted for apg but i also sometimes read other mags like paintball 2xtremes

[shartley]

HMMMM

(Looking around the room to see Magazines)

CFO
Automobile
Skin Diver
Motor Trend
News Week
US Weekly
Entrepreneur
Men’s Journal
GQ
Success
American How To
Small Business Computing

(I know there are others as well… but I tend to do most of my reading online now days. No need to keep a subscription and the info is not stacked on my shelves... LOL)

Oh.... You were not only asking about Paintball Magazines were you? LOL ;) Can you imagine what would happen to organized Religion if they only preached to the Choir? Sometimes you have to take the word to the masses.

I read APG, it was the year 2000 AGD multiple two-page advertisements featuring the RT Pro and the Flatline which got me into Automags. I also read several others, like crossfire and PBI, but I hold APG as my personnal favorite.

[Temo Vryce]

I have been reading APG since the late 80s to early 90s. SO I guess it would have to be my personal fav. I do read a lot of the other, usually when they have an article on a new AGD product. I also read Warpig's website alot as well as these forums.

[HyperSnyper]

hmmm...

mostly porn and other informative adult magazines... (j/k)

I always buy Action Pursuit, but go through and read through the other magazines thouroughly. I buy APG just beause Im buying more reading material. I dont know. Maybe Im just cheap.

[MagMan5446]

I've never bought a paintball magazine in my life. I read PCGamer though.

[zvanut]

APG

thats it :)

[tooslow]

Being in the biz, I pretty much have to read them all. But, I gotta say that APG is my favorite. Once you get past the multitude of ads, you usually find loads of pretty good info.

[Doobie]

I acctually subscribe to APG and PGI. PGI has great Articles, production and pics. APG has good pics and is a virtual catalog!. Used to read PSI, but it has gone cheap production value a la Jerry Braun.

[Dubstar112]

APG.. just for the pics and the electro gun reviews,

[ralicea]

APG

[StevoC]

I even wrote an article for APG...wish they'd hurry up and print it.

[slushee]

seems every month I spend more on Paintball mag's then I do food :D

gotta read 'em all..

[Nitroduck]

I write for APG and PGI, and I must say, PGI is the better. They provide you with more timely information in a no-nonsence approach, and better yet, you dont get the "electros are for no skilled people" in thier lil readers section.

[SIGSays]

i read apg for advirtisements and i read super street and sport compact car

[2000Sabre]

I voted for APG. Subscribe to both APG and PB2Xtremes. Will read just about any magazine related to paintball as long as it's not just advertisements.

[Deadeye]

Usually APG, but I'll read whatever PB mag I can get my hands on.;)

[joeyjoe367]

I voted for PGI.

I like it the best because of all the other PB magazines I've read, it's got the best articles. My personal fav. is the one where they show the Warp Feed.

The only magazine that I've actually bought was Paintbal Magazine. I didn't really like it because the articles were really short, and in some cases, pointless.

[MajorDamage]

I put down APG, I used to be a subscriber, and have been reading a little of a newer one a friend has. I also read Paintball 2xtremes(its awful, but 888 gives them away free...) and I used to read crossfire(Got a free trial like 4 month subscribtion with my old crossfire tank, also a bad magaziene!). APG is the best Ive read so far, and its not that great but you know! Ive read Paintball Magaziene, and it was ok. It seems most magiziens have mostly newbie related articles. I mostly like the ads! Altho I loved reading the reveiw on the Palmer Blazer in APG recently, because Im wanting that to be my next backup gun! That article probably sold me on it. Well AGD should make their own magaziene! Called AO Weekly! And it has many interveiws with all the AGD people, and an article with a select AO member each week! And you show again and again stuff about mags! Id buy it! Yep...AO Weekly! And Id be the dashing toeheaded young journalist. Tom! You could call me Skoop! <B>SKOOP!</B> And I could write about me playing, and the stuff I want, and how I like stuff! And I would show the world what mags are made of because they would name me People Magaziene's Most Great Guy Of The Year! And Id win an Oscar...somehow... Yep. So when are we starting AO Weekly(Dont blame me, its 2:44 in the morning! And Im usually crazy anywayz)? If you want to read my writing abilities, just go to the link on my signature! Im know as Namdlo on there, and do the graphics and HTML and stuff. So yeah, AO Weekly is now a hit. WHO WANTS AO WEEKLY!

ENDO!

[Puckz]

I subscribe to PGI and P8nt. PGI has lots of good articles but the ones that seem to get the most attention from me and are the most interesting are in P8nt. They don't write about the conventional stuff, and it makes for a real good read.

[mitch]

apg and paintball2extremes.
agd you guys should get a magazine on the go.
have like reviews updates of new things.
it would be cool.

[rt_81]

heh, doing some advertisment research aye AGD. thats cool.

im an APG guy myself.

RT

[DRAGONSLAYER]

I enjoy APG. Thats about the only one I'll buy.

[mykroft]

I read PGI, I'll buy Facefull whenever I can find it. APG sucks, I'll start reading it the day they publish a review that isn't a lovefest (I mean, these guys will even love a Point Zero)

[Muzikman]

Well, in the paintball world, I read APG cause I have like a five year subscription.

Other Magazines:

InfoWeek
Canoe and Kayak
Paddler
Electronic Musician
Outside
Outdoor Life
Camping Life
Backpacker
Computer (ACM magazine)
NetworkWorld
Windows2000 Magazine
Potential (IEEE Magazine)

Hmm...thats about all I can remember...I'll have to check the shelf. And yes, I do read atleast one artical in every one of them magazines every month. I also keep quite a few for reference.

[Evil Bob]

I'm subscribed to both APG and PGI. APG has a very newbie slant to it and PGI is aimed more for the tourny player. I usually hand the APG to my kids to read after I gloss through the advirtisements to see the pretty pictures. PGI's reviews are generally better (with the exception of Chris LaSoya, who always puts a biased slant on things). The best reviews I've ever seen have come from Jack Wood at Eclipse, his reviews are always well thoguht out and very thorough. APG's reviews tend to be more simplistic in nature.

[Muzikman]

Don't let webby hear you say that APG's reviews tend to be more simplistic in nature. :)

[Sledgehammer]

"Facefull" and "Gotcha! Paintball Action"(German)

[gimp]

I dont have any subscriptions to paintball magazines, but I usually buy APG. I have subscriptions to PC gamer, computer gaming world, Dirt rider, guitar world, penthouse, and playboy. I bet you would get a good response putting ads in some of those magazines.

[e21bgl]

APG because it's the only one magazine that sold in Thailand..............:cool:
