	Giant Robot Magazine Reviews at Shopping.com
		If you're one of those who loves their magazine, you'll take pride in the fact that you knew them when they were still an old school zine of stapled fl and white photocopies.
		If you're one of those who hate the magazine, most likely they became repulsive to you after the sex issue since that is the one that generated most of their detractors.
		Giant Robot [by the way, they just released a zine of overflow articles from issue #17 called Robot Power] and the other zines I've mentioned here definitely make their own stories.

		Nakamura described the magazine as "the punk-rock kids in the corner who didn't get invited to the parties," but more often it has seemed that the magazine is the one not inviting people to its party.
