Slime Salad

My mother likes old Gameboy games (Zelda:LA, Mario/Wario Land, Tetris). She hates everything new that she tries, and now just plays Hearts and Free Cell. She has told me countless times that all video games are the same and I should stop playing them. I don't my dad could care less about video games.

Skype is a voice/video chat application. I play games on conference calls with it sometimes.

If anything it would increase lag, but I haven't had any troubles with Brawl.

Thirding "The battles are too fast." Even at low speeds, everything just moves too quickly. I wish the OHR's battle system worked something like FFX's.

I'm game most nights and some weekends; talk to me on AIM or IRC(espernet, #jsh) for best results. 2277-6301-0299 I prefer playing semi-competitive because I HATE losing due to a bomb just appearing in front of me, but I'm not good enough to care that much. I just turn off the items I dislike and pr...

Yeah, I always read msw188's articles and like them, but I rarely have anything to say.

I had tons of people helping me on OHR House 3, and it still got finished. It's very possible to do most of the work by yourself and have other people chip in with random things. (RMZ did the majority of tiles but not all, MCW came in and did those for another episode, got random walkabouts from oth...

Ika at the moment. Hawk is going to help me learn it, I think. Who knows? I could switch back to OHR eventually. It all depends on what I need.

I don't have any screenshots. I'm not even making it in the OHR. I just want to say that the next game I'm working on is about a mermaid princess who has to rescue her boyfriend (A human prince) from the DWELLERS OF THE DEEP. You control the mermaid, who is sort of like a White/support mage. She sum...

Number-based grading is only good for mass rating systems (something like the game list here) where multiple users are weighing in and trying to form an "average" score. In reviews it usually sounds way too negative/positive. You can't give something a 5/10 and still give the impression th...

- I hate this obsession people have with avatars and avatar threads. I DESPISE them. I know this is irrational, but it's always bothered me on every forum I've used. - I think the OHR Community was a more fun place to hang around back in the old days. Average game quality is up now, that's a good th...

Deeply satisfying. But when Uncy said "Now you'll have to learn from the greatest teacher of them all" who was he referring to? The road? i hope to hell you didn't mean god It's intentionally vague, but I think of it as life/experience in general. The open road is a good way of thinking o...

It is done:

I had a blast making the show, everyone. Hope you enjoy the ending, no matter who you wanted to win.

I've just finished up preparing the graphics, maps and music for the results show. With any luck I'll have this show finished Tuesday or Wednesday, but anything could happen. It really feels like the end is here. I guess that's one reason I've been reluctant to work on it. :(

JSH's comments for this issue:

All of the reviews this issue were great and fun to read. Keep up the good work, everyone.

The retrospective made me weep for my lost childhood.

This was the best Monsterology feature yet, even if the art wasn't as consistent with the past Monsterologies.

Turn off battle animations, rmz.
