Slime Salad

At the top of the Gallery page:

Next month's theme is HALLOWEEN. Draw an OHR character/monster/thing in any kind of costume and submit it via e-mail or the forums and your art may appear in the next gallery!

Reviews are back, and in a big way. Plenty of coverage of new releases, a preview of JSH's card game, a themed art gallery (be sure to participate in next month's!), and very unique features from Mr. Willis and Mr. Lunaris.

I just noticed, just now that the biggest reason I hate the OHR's battle system is the lack of idle animations of any sort. This makes what would normally be a tolerable wait for the ATB to fill up, an excruciating one. Waiting for an ATB to fill up is always bad whether your guys are bobbling or n...

Mr. Pepper, Dogero, Octopus, Yuks, etc.

Edit: A couple of pictures were missing from the Pepper article. They've been fixed.

This is the best decision Square's made in a long time.

Actually if there's one feature I could have it would be a color replace feature for maptiles, to automatically turn all pixels of one color into another of your choice. Recoloring tiles with lots of pixel noise in them is kind of horrible. That or an in-engine replica of PalEdit.exe I'm glad people...

Surlaw! You're doing Surlaw Armageddon for the H.o.t.OHr contest? Neat. You're not on the Bug fix request page though... Don't you want a bug fixed or a feature added?! I can't think of any off the top of my head aside from the engine going berserk when you import MP3s, and they're already working ...

I don't want ...

I enjoyed Galaxy (haven't played 2) more than Mario 64 precisely BECAUSE the worlds are more compact and linear. My favorite parts of 64, by far, were the Bowser stages, and Galaxy captures that feeling and style a lot more often than 64 did. Galaxy felt more like an evolution of 2D platforming into...

Could Hamster Speak have a review rating system? If so, could Slime Salad's ratings also include a Hamster Speak rating next it? I really personally hate number score reviews, whether they be amateur or professional. A thumbs up/down system is as close to that as ever I like to get. I feel like num...

It would work a lot more efficiently... if people voted.

Not enough people use this to make it helpful, and too many that do just give everything a 1 or a 5, skewing the averages rather horribly.

I'd argue for it counting. A graphical overhaul on a game this big is a huge task, and it should be acknowledged.

1. Cover - This cover is fantastic, and I'm not just saying that because of Jedi Tim-Tim ( though that helped ). I'm curious about surlaw, what custom is he wearing? I would have expected a Ronald McDonald one, or maybe a Dinosaur giant one. There were a couple of bad links, everything should be fi...

I don't think most people would appreciate their personal journals being listed as community sites.
