Ahhh, that feels better. It's 5:00 in the morning here, but I slept all day. Hope the report was fun to read, and comment

very well done report, better than my first one, anyway it was incredibly good except for the fact that some of the pictures overlapped the text, I would like to say i would give this maybe a 7 or 8, i would say a 9 if it hadnb't been for the pictures overlapping that text, of course i'm a text manic and find even the best br bad when text is overlapped by pictures

Ok, 3 tips:

(1)Work on your HTML "skills"
(2)Smaller borders on pictures
(3)Use actual SS of chat, I like it better than writing.

Great report, I found it very easy to follow and the pictures really illustrated what you said.
I especially loved that you didn't try to be funny in alt texts like some people... I really despise that.

Great report, great pics. Unlike some people after you show the pics you still tell what happened in them, and can follow along.

The "Things Report" strikes once again on Aldo's report.

The Things I liked-

1. Writing was very well done, plenty of details, lots of strategy used, and great foretelling.

2. Pic Quality, doesn't get much better than that.

3. Nice pic selection too, I love my action messy and bloody.

4. Loved the opening build screenshot, just added that much more to the report.

5. Great interview afterwards, I'm glad you wrote it down instead of using a screenshot, because my Hampster died of exhaustion 4 pics from the end, so it wouldn't have came up if you did a screenshot. Thanks.

6. Awesome game, really a back and forth affair. I love games where each player almost looks like they have the other on their heels then to get attacked and be on their heels.

Things that could be better...

1. Maybe a little more of an intro, a little info on the players.

2. As mentioned above, using borders on pics will enhance your reports.

3. The Dark Blue did kinda blend in with the black background a little. I still could read it, but went cross-eyed a few times. :P

Report Card Reads-
Writing- A
Pic Quality- A- (Just missing borders.)
Pic Selection- A-
HTML Usage- B+ (The blue on black brought it down from an A.)
Entertainment- A
Overall- A-

Personal comments- Awesome, simple awesome report. Maybe adding some Alt-Text with the stuff above, and your reports will be godly. Try not being funny with Alt-Text though, just be yourself. I can't wait to see more from you.

massive ownage xld,

10!

dont listen to cearas, because taking SS's of interviews produces fuzzy and border-clashing ungoodness. I appreciated your hard work.

btw, try doing BRs earlier than 5 in the morning, your grammar really suffers.
#12 Phobos_ColZ[74858]
spider-wd072.proxy.aol.com
Wow, this is really good. Try to insert the pictures INTO your writing instead of just having groups of them by themselves. Still, a really good report, 8 or 9.

As ever,

Thx for comments, my html is pretty shoddy, and I can't make alt texts that don't sound lame as hell. I didn't put pics into text cause they were too big, and I thought I got rid of all the overlapping. Oh well, can only get better...

Nice job, my only criticism would be that you left a lot of blank space with your pics... Gave it a slightly incomplete feeling... My personal favorite style are small pics (width of maybe 1/2 the table) with text wrapped around them, then big collages to show the big action spots. In any case, good job, keep cranking out the reports! :)

You have nice writing. The pics are good, simple but good. The game was great. All in all a very good report on a great game.

Having the interview in text was smart, it lowered the loading time of the report, and it's easier to read. I actually like it when you put a couple of pics in a column to show how an attack was performed.

You get a <b>9</b> from me. GJ.
#18 livingexception[74902]
spider-wj083.proxy.aol.com
I will be flamed for this, but I give it a 7. For one, the pics running in a line for about 2 page lengths was a little distracting, they would have been awesome in collages though. This, combined with the blue on black made it a little hard to focus on text, and with all those big pictures that were much clearer than the text, it was hard not to focus on them. Also, the parts I did manage to focus on seemed, a bit dry. You described the action, but more flavorful words bring home the bacon. Also, no alt-text. That's my fav. part. But your cinematography (big words own you all) was excellent, and the game was great, and the interview was also better, I like it when people take the time to write it out, makes it easier to read. Like I said, a good solid 7.

Really good and well-writting battle report there home slice. From the looks of it, you put a hell of a lot of time into this thing...such a dedicated little soul you are =) Anywho, very good battle report.

PS: Oh yeah, and the interview, don't for those questions I told you aldogrez, and the fly on the wall? Umm...hehe...umm...yeah >:O That question was just a tad bit whack-o. Anywho, besides that, the interview was pretty well done =)

Ya, there was a lot of action, and if I'd known it would be OK to pause the game, I probably would've taken more SS's and done a few animations.

And Lor, my next report is a pvz...p wins ^^

The only thing was it took literally 32 minutes for me to finish loading all those goddamned pics. A fine report noetheless, but im going to go with images off next time I read one of your reports.

Any report where a toss beats a zerg on temple gets a +3 to it's rating in my books. The more I play that match the gayer it gets. I'm gonna learn to play zerg (sigh)

if myst were good he woulda taken the map once he got an advantage instead of countering a zerg... newbie

#36 ()xygen[93777]

cool report, but zerg is so fucking gay. If a toss gets them on the ropes they can come back and win making only lings. Zerg = race of the lamer. But that's why it's so fun to beat one as toss =] A lot cooler than winning any other matchup. And that strife guy was a prick in the interview, what an asshole.

Nice job, here. I miss your work, and would like to see more from you.

Battlereporting is an art, so the artist should have complete control over what he wants to report. Just tell the ffa participants 'fu, I don't want to do report that.'

At any rate, have fun with whatever you're doing now and log on aim more often. ;)
