@Luigihann - Some things were cut out and downright undiscussed. I guess we all kind of forgot about you. I really do apologize man.i just didnt have my mind on the skin, it was more on everything else.

Sorry for double posting, but anyways, I guess I did indirectly mention you when it was said that they made it a mod. Hell I didnt say anything about who made it, at least as far as I remember.

I lol'd at the Vext Comment and shit.


I'm big shit these parts
Also I hate Bad Apple.


Also why did she get banned, why did jj not flip out by have even a mention of "TBTE" in the magazine, and that flew by peppy?

I'm amazed.

I actually like it, I think Kirby did quite well.

It was unanimous by the team and made every one of us crack up. Comedy doesn't always have to make sense, it just has to be entertaining.

'Cause I do what I want. Also he secretly loves you.

Also I think the pepster conspired to release the new look just in time for this so that the design would be different and not match the comic.

I find that a little hard to believe.

Unless you were all laughing at how pathetic it was..

I look forward to the next issue nevertheless. I did like the comic, it was a vast improvement from the previous. I didn't quite get the whole TBTE flip-kicking everywhere though, I was kind of lost at some points.

Also Pippi's look is much, much preferred. Keep it that way !

Yes, the full joke was incredibly difficult to do with such a small amount of space. The next one will have a superior layout+style, as will the caption (if done by me anyway, I can't guarantee anything on someone else's work.)

For anyone that is confused, Pippi invites TBTE over to see her new 3D monitor. TBTE Tells her to play Bad Apple, to which the monitor instead makes it actually there rather than appear like it's there. TBTE gets pelted to death by the Bad Apple map as Pippi grabs her gun to shoot at everything, resulting in her playing the map by shooting the circles. TBTE dies but Pippi decides to play some more and plays Banned Forever, which ends up becoming real as with Bad Apple and results in her being banned forever.

I'm offended that the "History of Taiko" article doesn't enumerate my pivotal historical role in its introduction. Not trying to brag or anything but I feel like it's worth noting from a historical perspective.

I hope you've all learned something today
^^; Honestly I feel ashamed that we forgot you during this. Originally the article was supposed to be Taiko's Importance to osu! but we changed it at the last minute because of the content. While that is no excuse to not add you at least you have a bit of insight on why the error occurred


Also, I added the link to the review just in case you want to review it

Alright, response time:

It was more of a case that "It was so bad that it was good". Originally during the meeting as we sat down for it we had some in mind for what was good and what was bad based on the comments we put before the meeting. It was going to follow a 1st 2nd 3rd template but the team liked the quote a lot. We knew it was awful but there was a certain....charm of the caption that made us all giggle inside ("so bad it's good"). When we judge the second caption contest I'll make sure to record it so you can understand the teams thought process (If the majority of the team agrees with this).

And finally, thank you for the comments everyone (both good and bad) remember that we are open to questions of any kind.

So... it's just now that I've stumbled across the osu!monthly stuff for the first time.
Well, I did glance at the first edition for a few seconds back when it was just starting.
But to see how far it has come since this issue, I'm very impressed!
Keep up the awesome work, guys!

I wonder if you could use my poem:

I seek
by Apex

I seek,
I constanly seek,
I kept on seeking,
I kept seeking on things I wanted.

I found,
so what?
I can't say that I will stop seeking forever,
so I resumed.

I seek,
I seek,
I seek,
until the period* of my life.

Period refers to "."

Please bring something about spinners. I guess so many average players have difficulties with them and simply don't ask about how to spin right, it'd be worth an article.

To spin right, hold the mouse, press the left or right button, move in circles around the center of the window.
To spin right with a tablet, hold the tablet pen, put it on the tablet, move in circles around the center of the window.

Here is your article, my friend.

MechMK1 does bring up a good point. it is pretty hard to explain to someone different methods on how they could spin.
The Art of Spinning - i can see it now. demonstrations and practice methods would be cool too.

All you do is spin in the middle. :c

I wish! I think I really need a how-to, at least for techniques. The way I spin, I only do a decent job at it half the time - the other half I spin too narrowly and my cursor goes through the center a lot which ruins the spin. I've tried spinning in big circles, but my mouse can't do that very well unless I pump up the mouse speed way high, at which point I can't play well at all.

tl;dr I want a spinning tutorial T.T

just saying that the best advice i got was "when you spin, don't go crazy". although it worked for me, i highly doubt it will for others.

again, different advice for different types of spinning techniques (just like how people use mouse only, mouse + keyboard, etc.)

For those who are curious, the o!m team took a break to address some of the fundamental problems with the current structure. After 7 official meetings (there were about 5 unofficial ones), 12 forum pm's (dozens of ingame pm's), and a lot of time spent on google docs. We finally have figured out a solution and are in the process of implementing it. We should be back on track very soon.

If you do have any questions feel free to pm me.

We decided to release the next o!m when osu!stream for Android comes out.

Anyway, we need to lock this I think XD
