Dear Readers,

I have nothing more to say to you.

By which I mean, I do have more to say. To you.

But I'm not happy about it. Saying things to you, that is. I'd rather not, actually—frankly, I'm upset, and if you don't know why, maybe it's about time we reconsidered where this relationship is going.

Last month, I made a request of you. A simple, simple request. And I was totally, totally ignored.

I will not be having this!

In two issue's time, our HOLY GOD HOW AMAZING IS THIS January issue is coming up, and, in order to make it all that I can, I need your help. Our January issue—sometimes known as the New Year's Awards Special—is a spectacular the likes of which only your favorite videogame magazine could perpetuate. We bring in guest stars. We bring in brand new staff writers. We debut brand new columns. We give out awards to the best games of the year.

And we also call upon our readers to help us out.

For this spectacular to be as spectacular as it can possibly be, we need your help, and there's two paths you can choose. You can either join our staff as a regular contributor—thus adding to the intrigue of the January issue by bolstering our numbers alongside several other devoted fans—OR, if you're not interested in the harsh demand of writing one entire article a month, you can contribute something to just the January issuse.

I've made up these fantastic flow charts to help you figure out what's up:
