I actually ended up with a free subscription to this awhile back, thanks to some customer loyalty program or another. It was better than I'd expected. Although my expectations were pretty low, what with the Maxim association and everything...
That's how I ended up checking the magazine out. I had frequent flyer points that were going to expire; one of my magazine selections was Blender. At the end of a year, I saw no good reason to renew my subscription.
