Question about Crash Magazine (the last issue)...Where's Big Al?
I was just reading throught the last issue of Crash, and came across something that had bothered me at the time, but which I'd completely forgotten about....
In the issue before last, a new member called Al had joined the Staff Writing team. In the Editor's introduction to the last issue, Lucy says something along the lines of "so much for him! We found out some pretty startling revelations about THAT one!"....It then tells you to see Happenings for details, but Happenings isn't in the issue as a huge notice telling you that Crash is merging with SU is there instead...
So, what I'm asking is...Does anybody know what the startling revelations about Big Al were, and why he was dismissed as a staff writer???

It doesn't look like he was sacked to me.

sorry..
Oooh, yuck - Crash in it's wannabe-YS phase...
I wouldn't read too much into it - the whole things smacks of a fictional back-story in the same vein as the YS Joystick Jugglers sidebars to give an impression of a "wacky" office environment.
I dunno... That does seem to be worded a bit... darkly.
Even in their wacky phase, that strikes me as a bit libellious. It certainly casts doubt on the guy's character.
