No Almost Club this week. No Venter, who is recovering from all fifty of his reviews, no Marc despite the daily insistences that he’s totally going to post a review later on, like, for real, dude. So places for all that wrote, and for all, a deserved place.
For us. For them. For you. |

Emp, you've outdone yourself here. Impossibly punctual and pretty thorough and useful feedback to boot. Congrats to Pick on the win.

Thanks for the RotW, EmP! Been quite some time since I nabbed one, so this was a pleasant surprise.

I really don't notice when I do that title thing. I gotta watch out for that. Thank you for the placement and crit. Congrats to Pick!

A certain amount of title use is good. It helps with SEO, so people are more likely to find your review. Google and other search engines look at "keyword density," and so a few references to the title and/or variations is ideal.

Good insight, Jason, I hadn't considered the search engine side of it. I tend to agree with the usage. I'll usually use a full title at the start, and if it's a bit wordy, cut it down. Probably not going to use initials - referring to Final Fantasy VII as FF7 is not particularly classy.

My rule of thumb has always been that if you're saying something often enough that you have to abbreviate it, you're probably saying it too much.

Thank you, EmP. It was a risky move for me to write with this bronchitis, since it's had a stupid impact on my tenuous sleeping patterns... buuuut... I can't blame that for the dwindling interest in the topic. I'm sure you know it's not easy to write about something with which you are intimately familiar and need to keep interesting ... somehow. I might well have been better off taking a single example and using that to explain the game's mechanics. Getting personal is a lot of what Front Mission is about.
