Holy shit those pics were SWEET - should've added some collages too then you'd have a 6 pics only... um. Text was decent, a bit forced tho, should try relaxing a bit and dropping SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much lame jokes. Other than that, good first report, 6.

BTW, I agree with #12. Time, just because you are jealous of the size of everyone else's genitalia (and br skills for that matter) doesn't mean you have to take it out on them.


#20 Serious[109378]
h24-86-132-53.ed.shawcable.net
Oh, sorry Dag. See.. I use Frontpage since it's a lot easier. And frontpage is crap.

I can make a special page for you, and put it online?

#21 Twip[109379]
0-1pool192-146.nas5.columbus1.oh.us.da.qwest.net
lol no it's not a 10.

I noticed this in someone else's report not long ago, but it's in yours too: at the beginning, it was done with one style in mind, but as the game (and report) progressed, there were more and more speech bubbles and forced jokes. Pick one style and stick to it. lol

If you want My opinion, I liked the more serious, tactical parts better than the speech bubbles and stubbed toes and loudmouths. I love the layout though, and the movie was well-done, by the way.

Remember that your reports can have personality in them without loading in trite jokes. :P

#24 Serious[109382]
h24-86-132-53.ed.shawcable.net
Twip:

Yeah, I don't like this style very much... I'm going to do a more 'serious, tactical' BR next, probably with a FEW jokes (but not very many). I admit, I overdid this one. Heh.

And about the style.. I noticed that too, but I was too lazy to go remake pics n.-
#25 Serious[109383]
h24-86-132-53.ed.shawcable.net
Oh, and about Frontpage...

I just did it to position the pictures. a lot easier than manually doing it. But it wasn't 'canned'. No templates or anything.
#26 katome[109385]
px2ar.ed.shawcable.net
er, why use frontpage for that? its easy to align pics that way without, ask if you wanna know.

#29 katome[109388]

its a linkin park song, but severely edited...

serious, shoulda left credits in, now my name not there ;(
#30 Serious[109389]
h24-86-132-53.ed.shawcable.net
Actually, the song isn't editted at all.

I had a great splice of it n.- It played the beginning, and then the end (without the middle), and even I had trouble noticing where I spliced it.

unfortunately, it was way too long.

The song is called 'Points of Authority' as the mp3 file name, but the title header reads 'Vertical Limit'. Don't ask :P

sorry for posting again. Heh.

I've decided against putting up that huge picture. It's too big :P Just try to imagine this report with every picture practically a collage, and the three largest being 600x1000, 600x2000 and 600x4000 pixels large.

oh, and pretty gold borders

There hasnt been a ten in a little less than a year, and this is one i'd smack a ten on. Unfortunately, ~CattleBruiser~'s java report got a "9," so sadly, you must accept one too.

Good writing, best I've seen here since prae, but with funny elements reminding me of williamwc3. Borders could use some help.

Oh yes, and an "end game" is the ultimate goal in a campaign or some other huge undertaking, not the end of a game (english rocks).

Make more, I haven't found a single report you made that i didnt like. Gosu!

9

PS dag, even if you cant read the report in Netscape, give this a 9. I give you my word as your verbal tormentor that this deserves a 9. By the way, your ugly.
#36 [109402]
ct91955-a.richmnd1.in.home.com
Here's your 9. For the record, the speech bubbles brought back fond memories of battlereports past, even if they were pretty corny. Sweet flash movie too.

I know it's a big 'NO' for the corny jokes, but what about the speech bubbles? Yes, no?

Oh.. remember the probe that killed the SCV?

Great. Reminds me a lil' of Breeze No Mercy Reports. Your narrative writing style has somewhat... something special to it. I like it, I dunno if others will, but I dig that. Great Work especially with all these fux0ring fan fics coming out.

Good Job. Easy 9

I'll read it as soon as my comp allows me to get the pics.

flash movie was nice, i thought this would break the long 10less streak, but the table size was a little off, and that kinda detracted from the whole thing, when i was reading i kept skipping over the first character of every line, esp if it was 'i' or 't'

9.00001 ^^
#50 Napoleic[109436]
px2ht.ok.shawcable.net
GW Serious, I loved the surprise ending. Of course everyone assumed terran would win the way you were going, so gw with that angle.

The advisors got a little annoying at times, but they were good at other times.

Probly the best ever first time report. 9.5

The Terran warriors were strong and valiant in the face of death, giving their lives so that we may live in peace today.

Let us never forget the sacrifices they made.

"Ahh! My bike is on fire!"


Hahaha... Love the contrast. I thought the speech balloons were very entertaining. Yeah, maybe some of them were corny, but I really did enjoy them overall. Your writing was exceptionally good, and you integrated the advisors and backstory in a wholly unobtrusive fashion. My only complaint is that your reporting got rushed towards the end, at what probably should have been the most interesting part of the battle--the comeback from the islands. Lots of crucial details were glossed over there.

The 9 is well-deserved, I think. Good work.

#55 |]agomar[109467]
Ottawa-ppp3517212.sympatico.ca
w00t! You show really great potential. I was very torn between giving it an 8 and a 9, cause of the text bubbles which, though nostalgic, were corny =[. Good text bubbles would have certainly warranted a 9, easy. It's just that . . . even tho you went through the trouble of making it on geocities for my own personal viewing ( muahaa ) . . . I have real problems giving this a 9. On the other hand, the intro movie was oan . . . this is tough =O.

I do believe I would have easiy given this a 9 in the past. Hm . . . ya I'll rate a 9 =]. Not by any stretch of the imagination on the basis of what "Lucky" said tho . . . ( Lucky, who is Patton? )

GJ!!

#59 NotDefault[109551]

1000 character limit ate my comment. Briefly:

Godly first report. 9.

Things I liked:

Advisors, although they could be more serious next report.
Minimaps everywhere, made the game very clear.
Flash intro.
Speech bubbles in pictures.
The great game.

Things I feel could be toned down:

The jokes. I liked the style of listening to a narrator along with his (her?) advisors who are at the same time the straight-men to the comedy and an aid to understanding the strategy in the game. Unfortunately this somewhat broke down when jokes invaded the inner sanctum.
The few minor spelling mistakes that were made ("Tanks, get down their" for example).

BTW, how is "asdf" pronounced? :)

OMG YES! Something worth reading (anti-TIME is not on YOUR SIDE). I loved it, I want more! I would give this report at 9-10 for being a report that didn't waste my time (and it didn't suck by any means).

I missed one thing, a few more pictures of the map about half way trhough the report.. a lot was happening but i didnt have any map to watch =(
hmmmmmm.. thats the only bad thing I have to say ^^
I guess im forced to give this BR a 9 ;0)

The battle was very interesting and id love to watch the replay so if you could put a link with it here that would be great.
btw: dont mind the ppl telling u too drop the jokes, I didnt laugh at most of them but some very funny and i think its good the u try to be funny at least^^ keep it up
