I used to collect FHM.

What the critics say about FHM's 100 Sexiest is that its not about who's sexy but who's popular. After choosing to completely stop watching network TV 4 years ago, I have to admit that it is true. Lately, I don't know who ang mga nasa cover ng FHM so wala ako interest na bumili. It's just a pretty face for me, not enough to make me buy it anymore.

Dati din, dami articles sa FHM, now eh it's just pages and pages of pictures. The last FHM I bought, it was boring. Alot of recycled materials, tons of pictures. Even the "manly tips" are just bolstered ego trips.

Of all the magazines that I collected over the years, FHM na lang talaga ang tinutuloy ko. Hirap na rin kasi itigil kasi I've been buying it ever since the first issue came out. The one with the Alicia Silverstone cover.

Iba pa rin yung may inaabangan kang new release every month.

kolektor din ako ng men's magazines dati...engkaso nauso ang free pr0n streaming hehe, bakit ka pa magttyaga at magbabayad kung pwede ka naman mag online at manood ng libre, di na kelangan paganahin ang imagination :sweat: :lol:

Pero going back, pinaka proud koleksyon ko siguro EGM tsaka inQuest magazines, sobrang hooked ako sa mga yun to the point na kilala na ko ng ibang sales lady ng national bookstore sa pque at automatic na ko tinatabihan ng copy :lol: practically need to beg my mom to give me pambili kasi mahal din yun nung araw, mga 300+ petot yata nung mga last ako nabili nun...

Grabe kasi naman ang presyo ng imported magazine eh! Highway robbery talaga!

Yeah. I used to collect EGM too. Favorite era ko nung sila Dan "Shoe" Hsu pa yung EIC. Noong high school hanggang college, current issue pa binibili ko. Nung nagtrabaho nako, mga back issues na lang para mas mura. Tapos hindi ko namamalayan, Nakatambak na lang sa kwarto ko and literraly wala nako mapaglagyan. Naisip ko na itigil na ang mag internet na lang.

naaalala ko pa noong high school ako regularly ako dumadaan sa Filbars at bumibili ng mga EGM, Official PS Magazine, GamePro, etc. kahit na mga back-issues lang sila. Cool din kasi yung mga demo disc ng OPM na nilalaro ko sa PS2 saka nagagamit ko rin yung mga pictures ng magazines ko dati to personalize and decorate my stuff, back then nung marami pa akong time :))) When Filbars dropped the gaming magazines from their shelves tumigil na ako. Hindi rin nakatulong na pamahal na rin ang mga magazines noon kaya napatigil talaga ako.

Pero there's something about print media talaga na makes it stand out, compared to just reading articles online, hindi lang sa magazines, kahit sa novels, and even when I read medical books. Sobrang distracted ko mag-aral pag pdf ang kopya ko. Saka iba yung new book/magazine smell eh. :)) Nakakalungkot lang na print is being called a "dying" medium, at least for magazines, kasi thriving parin ang mga books.

oo nga pala, we had GamesMaster too. I used to buy GM rin before kahit na mas ma-PC/MMO gaming sya kasi yun ang market sa PH at the time, at bilang isang tao na never nagkaroon ng PC na may matinong specs for gaming (even for most MMOs) at exclusively console/arcade gamer, games master yung parang way ko to relate to people at school na opposite ko naman na PC gamers.

nakarami rin ako ng OPM dahil sa demo discs. kaaliw din kasi wala pang youtube nun at ang mga games na hindi ko kilala, dun ko lang nakikita. :D

sana hindi totally mawala ang mga magazines. iba pa rin ang may pisikal, parang mga games natin. masayang amuyin yung magazine at masarap himasin yung glossy pages. :surprise: :rofl:

Wizard din pala nag-cocollect ako. Basta kahit luma na sale. Gusto ko yung drawing tips and tricks section nila. :)
Pucha kasi yung presyo ng game mags. Highway robbery talaga. Kahit ngayon ganun pa rin. dying medium na nga mahal pa singil.

Bakit ako bibili ng Official PSM/PS4 magazine/and the likes today worth 450-600php na konti lang ang pages kahit may minsan may freebie.
Ano bang exclusive sa magazine na yun na di mo makikita sa internet hindi ba? Tapos sandali mo lang babasahin. Marami pang pakinabang sa 450-600php kesa ipambili ng ganung kamahal na gaming magazine. Ipambili ko na lang pagkain, ilang issues ng comic books, collectible, or even yet 3 informative pocket books.

Oo nga, Wizard din gusong gusto ko yun. I love their articles kasi. Lalo nawhen they deconstruct and psycholigize yung featured superhero sa mag. And I like it na hindi sya sinlaki ng normal mags. Sinlaki lang siya ng comic book. Sad lang na wala na sila. I remember yung website nila focused na lang sa mga events and comic conventions.
