  • По Warhammer 40000
    - 1 - _Вступление_ Лето... Солнце, пляж, отдых. Дача, экзамены, деревня. Пиво, разгар сезона, полигон. Компьютер, отчеты, звонки клиентов. Жара, духотень, пот в три ручья. Согласитесь, у каждого свои ассоциации. Кто-то любит лето, кто- то его не переваривает и с нетерпением ждет зимы. А кто-то, подняв голову от покраски очередного эльдарского фарсира, пробормочет: Ахренеть! А куда весь cнег дели? – и вернется к фрихэнду на утонченной эльдарской заднице. В общем, по расписанию у нас июль, а это значит, что третий номер нашего полугодичника… полугодника.. короче, нашего ежеполугодного издания наконец вышел, в чем вы имеете возможность убедиться лично, читая дальше. Благодаря невероятной активности читателей и добровольцев, материалы для номера были набраны за какие-то три месяца и позволили сверстать журнал в просто рекордные для редакции сроки. Отдельно порадовал поток писем с пожеланиями, критикой и дельными советами, которые пришли в адрес редакции. Вот одно из них: «Администрация Mail.Ru поздравляет Вас с праздником…» Так, это не то немного. А, вот! «Impress your girlfriend with your new 10” vuvuzela…» Кхм.. Да, вот такие письма, в основном, приходили в адрес редакции от благодарных читателей. Впрочем, какая-никакая, а критика все же была, мы ее хорошенько встряхнули, кое с чем перемешали, кое-чего добавили, вставили зонтик, соломинку и – вуаля! Коктейль Wargazzm #3 у вас на столе! Забирайтесь в свой шезлонг, вытягивайте ноги, располагайтесь поудобнее и пробуйте. Надеемся, на вкус он будет лучше, чем на цвет. С уважением, редакция.
