Editor’s letter
ell, that hurt. I recently completed the London Marathon in ridicu- lously hot weather,
setting a personal best (well, it was my first-ever full marathon…) and discovering that yes, it is possible to actually lose a contact lens in your eye. In this issue, we have our first full online section,
starting on page 39. We’ve introduced this as we have noticed in the last couple of years the line between land-based and online gaming is blurring continually. Online companies want to know what land-based are up to and vice versa – and to find ways they can all work together. So go and have a look, and let us know what you think.
