Once as a requirement for Speech class in college, but I was never able to keep it going. It turns out all I really care about are the basic facts of my eventful life (in opposition to my everyday life). Since 2006 I have been keeping an Excel spreadsheet of important events; the what, when, where, and who I was with. If something else of personal significance happened in the world on the same day I put it under the "In the News..." cell. Thanks to keeping movie stubs going back to 1989, I also include every movie I have ever seen in theaters, the theater I saw them in, and who was with me. Movies are important to me. One day I had a revelation; add these events to Google Earth. I now have a complete world map of every significant thing I have ever done (and quite a few insignificant events). I am in the process of adding all the family photos and videos to it as well. Next year I plan to buy a 27" flat-screen touchscreen PC for the living room and have this spinning, virtual globe available to recall all of my past events. How's that for biographical documentation!

You guys rock! PC Gamer scans for the USA version are SO hard to find (no doubt due to the size as you all have mentioned). Please keep them coming. I really want the Age of Empires II issue from around 1999, I think.

I download video game magazines mostly for the nostalgia factor, since I bought many of these magazines in my late teens/ early 20's. I am also interested in video game journalism and magazines such as these are true research sources.
