Judgment delayed while I capped all that Halloween project nonsense. So glad I spent over an hour on a huge twitter thread to collect three retweets and a couple of favourites. Yay!

Careful! The last time you said I was being fair, I completely trashed the next game I submitted a review for.

I think a critic can be forgiven talking about himself to a certain extent in this bloggy era, especially if the discussion is made relevant to game dissection. So I try to do that when I talk about me. I also try to write my reviews in a way that gives readers enough information they can make up their own mind, and know whether they are likely to agree with my analysis if they play the game, or feel quite differently. So it sounds like I succeeded in both efforts with my review you liked most this week, and that's encouraging on some level even if I didn't win.

I strongly agree with Jason's sentiments. Nothing wrong with personalizing one's writing; if the reader prefers something more generic, there's surely something out there for them, but there's only one Jason Venter or Follow Freeman or what have you. If I wanted dry, blandly objective writing, I'd head over to IGN or GameSpot; I read HG for well-argued reviews that also bother to let me know where the author's coming from. |

Hahahaaaa! Thank you for the victory, and thanks to everyone else who submitted horror reviews this month. You are all appreciated for contributing to this awesome event. Except Pickhut, who wrote about ninjas. Geez Pick (kidding, it was a good review).

Thanks for the comments and such. I'm glad to disappoint you by being focused and not talking about myself! Although you should be mad at Jason on that, as he removed a segue-way into me talking about how I finished Super Mario Bros. 2 with 60+ lives on hand. Was it forced? Hell yeah! But it goes to show that when left to my own devices, I will always make my reviews about me!
