I'm happy to see RTM (Read The Manual? ;)) still releasing monthly issues, but I was disappointed that this issue contained no coverage of Wreck-It Ralph. After it was practically promised last month, I was hoping to see something for this December issue. But there was nothing, not about the Wreck-It Ralph games, the movie's development, the way programming was presented in the film, nor the movie itself. :( Even an article about the numerous toys and other Wreck-It Ralph merchandise would have been nice for we collectors.

Perhaps next month? Here's hoping.

Thanks for the message. I tried to get someone who saw the movie to write something up, but they never turned anything in. I'll try and step up the pressure to have him get something in for next month. Sorry to disappoint!

That's okay, I understand. It was a good issue as usual and I look forward to the next. :)

Good luck with your growing forum!

Hmm, looking at the editorial in the beginning of the issue, it looks like RTM will be no more - that is, it looks like it was bought by http://www.theretrojunkies.com/ and will be absorbed into the conglomerate where new issue will continue instead.
