This thread is great. Noticed Valigarmander mentioned having world building in mind about this topic, and it reminded me of some things I don't think I had a chance to cover in those comic reviews. Having towns with nothing but shops and a few NPCs can be fine. The minimum you need for the game to s...

He never reviewed any of the games, it was satire or paying homage or whatever was going on there. Right? Maybe I forgot. At any rate, I'm calling you out, Barnabus! You fool coward. You and me, mano a mano, one on one. I'd take you down so hard people would cry to have me gone, as it would be akin ...

Guys got to give me a heads up or i miss these threads! Comic reviews are fine, not much to do there. Can't wait till people start doing game reviews with games. Optional list was cool. 3 and 4 are the same thing: good games will get reviews with or without a contest. Not much to do here. It's like ...

Gizmog, have my babies. To wit (i'm pretentious cool), the larger theme here is that you can abstract things so much, like in that meow pic above, that a story becomes "a story" and everything has been done before. But you can also go into details (inverse of abstraction) and you'll find ...

What does your recipe look like, Mystic? Am very curious what you mean. And so far as details for Penguin Chef... I don't know. I could list all kinds of things but I've fallen into the 'review madness' where I begin questioning the point to any of this. Began writing a review of Dungeonmen, and the...

This week we honk, wakka wakka *fozzie bear face* The Towers of Love and Energy by IDON'TKNOW *insert pic of title screen* It's a charming short thing. Impressive it was made, not meaning to be anything more than the work of a few hours. The scary part is in how close it feels to a lot of other game...

We're like a dysfunctional family, it's great :D Although I'd love to play along with the innuendo, I get Meow's a germ and I know what he wants. I'm not sure if I can deliver. It is interesting though, cause the more anticipation we build for the review, the greater the hype and interest, but also ...
