what was your favourite issue of PGi
- Thread starter avituk
- Start date
So let me get this right Jon, your criterion for one magazine being better than another was based upon the fact one had a picture of you in and the other didn't ...hmmmm........
Just read your last post on this thread, Robbo.
Not at all - I always look like **** in photos, no matter who takes them.
I liked the way "Adventures" covered Mayhem, as they took photos of all the teams and refs, and covered the event well.
It's good to look back at all the old faces and remember the old times.
Also, it was the Mayhem 1990 issue that introduced me to tournament paintball.
Sadly, "Adventures" declined, whilst PGI went from strength to strength.
RIP Paintball Adventures.

Ahhhhh, I see; I knee-jerked with my response because you wouldn't believe the number of Brit ballers who used to criticise us for covering the international aspect of paintball (they seemed to have missed the last word in the name of our magazine) and told us we should concentrate more on UK ball and yet when we asked them what it is they thought was missing, it invariably involved the opportunity of seeing pictures of themselves
Don't worry about it.
I always enjoyed PGI's coverage of events in the USA, and have been fortunate to meet a number of the players featured in its pages over the years.
One of my earliest memories is swapping jackets with 2E - I kept his AA jacket for years, even though it was way too small for me.
What did you think of P8NT magazine? I think it influenced Facefull a great deal.

I used to room with 2e sometimes when on the All Americans, he's now living in Florida and running a successful T shirt printing business.
He's no longer in paintball but some time ago he got in touch with me and talked about coming back but maybes he did the right thing and stayed away, the game we used to play has long since gone and the reasons he and I used to play are not so prevalent in the modern game.
As for P8nt, I thought it was a really good mag that broke the traditional mould and pointed the way for everybody, including us at PGi.
I honestly think our content and coverage was always the best but that didn't mean to say we couldn't be influenced by some great design work.
I cant remember an actual mag that was the best, they were all the best.
There was one edition thou where the Harlequins (that I was captain of at the time) played Arenaball and we did quite well, and the then Editor Steve Duffy did a small interview with me and took my pics, and when he published it compared me to Joseph and his amazing Technicolor dreamcoat - this was due to the spangley gear we were wearing supplied by Renegade.
Oh, the good times - bring back a Robbo PGI !!!!

Obviously I could say that my fave issues would be the ones with articles by me in them, but to be honest, I couldn't really decide. It's been one of them mags that, instead of getting old and stale, just went from strength to strength and kept getting better.
So the jury is out on this one.
