About Me: Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma. |
The forum boards reminded me of this, and I think I'll be able to write something interesting about them.
Maybe some other time I'll (re-)tell the story of how my love for Deathlord and Ultima IV brought me to GameFAQs in the first place. But for now, there is the review competition.
Around July of 1999, I, in some forgotten order,
1) found Ultima IV as freeware
2) found GameFAQs with a walkthrough for Ultima IV
3) said "Hey, maybe they have something for Deathlord"
Well...once again it looks like my reviews do better on HG, at least short term. Perhaps I should write more. The whole HGWars things with HGPoints doesn't hurt, either--ok, it was a big motivation.
So, without any new games(stalled on Champions of Krynn--how much IS there to say that I didn't say in Silver Blades?) I decided I'd rewrite old reviews. I was worried going back through a few reviews that I'd either
1) cringe at part of them, or
2) not be able to improve them but know I should.
I just re-jigged Taxman and am surprised at the amount of juvenile stuff I wrote. Part of that was being glad about having something to write. I spent a lot of time saying "Yeah, good ideas but..."
Well, I cranked one out, for Secret of the Silver Blades. Largely from my maps and walkthrough, I was able to remember a lot. I'm sensing there are probably a few artificial lines in there. I have to admit, HGWars and the prospect of spending HG points has got me interested in trying my best here.
I'm happy with the job I did proofreading it, though some stuff I'm sure slipped through. I just want to do things differently than I did before, and I'm not concerned about being terribly flashy...I just want to be able to look at my work and not care whether or not I'm ashamed--just dive right in and say I like this, that or the other, or I overuse this phrase or type of phrase.
But it made me laugh uncontrollably.
Here.

2 commercials from the early 90s.
Mouthwash! Baltimora!
Scottie Pippen, lookin' awkward! This one, I looked for on YouTube a year ago. It wasn't there. It is now.
Vista stinks. It really does. There was this app I wanted to put on my computer, WinBoard. It allows you to analyze chess games, and it comes with Bobby Fischer's 60 most memorable games, part of a book I had as a kid. It went out of print long ago.
So I tried to install it a year ago and phphphpllt. No dice. The installer upgraded, though, and so I was browsing through the games. I haven't played in a while, mainly because I tended to get into boring positions where my opponent got more bored than I did, and I could snatch out a win.
An old favorite of mine, involving a football coach hawking Hummers.
I never wanted a Hummer, but I think this is the bestestest Hummer commercial EVER. You will too, even if you don't like football. Or Hummers.
