Yes, there seems to be a new issue every two weeks: Back issue order page
Wait! So in Japan these mags are going for 680 yen or so, google informs me this is the equivalent of about £5...yet that British website I linked to earlier was selling it for £15!!! Unscrupulous!
Sorry, but all this talk about Brutus has me really wanting to start buying it . As Master"G" has already pointed out, I may need to become more cultured, and what better place is there to start than with reading Brutus! I already feel more cultured after merely reading some of the previews! I can't wait to invite someone round to my house and very deliberately leave a copy of Brutus lying very visibly on my coffee table, it can't fail to impress, it's even in a foreign language! And just in case that doesn't have my house guest thoroughly in awe of my culture, I'll be having a copy on Monocle magazine lying in wait next to my toilet for when my guest enters the bathroom. Boom.
Ahem, as for Shenmue, well the only thing that gives me hope, is that to base a prank on Shenmue fans around the story of having read an article in Brutus....well, it's kind of bizzare, and not what one would first think of when plotting an effective prank on us. And he is specific with the issue number too, so we should be able to check this theoretically, thus it's a bit of lame prank, right? Though, perhaps Master"G" is really a master, a master a pranks that is, and he is pulling the ol double bluff on us, making us think that it's too lame and weird to be a prank, and thus actually being an ingenious prank. Maybe he thinks one of us will pay £15 for an issue
