hehe, i don't give bonus points for taking first comment... =]

oh well, i just did this BR before my supposed-to-come round 5 of tao 2v2 tourney...

why? cause i did the quote-jpg that i have at the end, and i wanted to post that as soon as possible.. hehehee

i tried to put one section within the BR where i tried to be very descriptive.. i could have been more detailed, but i didn't want to do too much...

hope yall like it.. not much humor this time..just plain ol' BR..

decent BR. Pretty good humor, decent game.

I found the commentary interspersed throughout the BR a little confusing and distracting, as it interrupted the flow of the BR at different times. I get the feeling that you spent quite a bit of time on the BR, but were tired before you finished and clarity suffered a little.

POA you're gay, and you got ripped, quit whining.

GO Limp!

I'm not whining, I really don't care, however I know Limp, and I didn't think he would put that in there . . . He can be funny without ripping on people is the idea.

Nice writing, but a slight lack of visual aid. Maybe its just me, because I like a lot of pictures. More pictures would be nice, otherwise, great writing and good humor.

Another motherin' comment from me.

Writing: Not bad, occasionally hard to follow due to frequent changes in writing tenses (present to past etc.). Ie: "-Ta|on- still hadn't mined out his main, but he knew he has won…or so he thought." This sentence changes from past to present in the middle of it. Mined to has being the operative words. Also, you need to proofread with a finetooth comb. There are many little grammarical errors in this BR which disrupt the flow. Speaking of flow, many sidenote sentences and paragraphs which don't tie in lead the reader astray. I would suggest taking out sidenotes, or cutting down the number.

Images: Somewhat grainy due to jpg format (gif looks better, but is bigger filesize), but that's too be expected with paint. Even so, get PSP 6.0. There's a free 30 or 60 day download out there, and it works great for low tech imaging. PS is better, but its also fairly complex. Also, you have 3-4 pics in the middle of pretty much the same thing, goons vs hydras+lings. This isn't so bad, but without stuff to make each pic have it's own 'personality', they kinda get repetitive. Generally though, the pics were relavent, and worked well.

Appearance: Ok, if you're going to do image borders, make them one colour, or dont do them at all. The different red blue and yellow looked kinda... unprofessional. Also, the pic entitled: deathoftoss.jpg was all off to one side, and looked out of place. That's minor though. White on black looked fine, easy to read.

Overall: A jovial spirit of the BR, but a little too forced, IMHO. Some of the alt-text was kinda lame too, but not really. All in all, I liked it, it's above average, but you NEED to proofread. It's really not an option. GW Limp, but dont rush it.

Nice job Limp, this is a wonderful improvement.

A good game and good reporting. You stuck to the game prtty well and didn't get too far off topic... ;-)

My one suggestion would be to choose your screenshots more carefully. I noticed that you had 3 or 4 pictures of troops just standing around. Most people like to see action packed gory pictures... :-)

Once again though, good job.

yeah, i agree..

POA, sorry i "bashed" you.. but i did mention i was gonna do something gay and i just wanna apoligize..

i even put "mock talk" because somereader might think it was true or something despite changing background..

and also, i truly wrote this BR cause of the comments that i've collected.. therefore, some of the action scens were blocked off by the quotes and i didn't think it was approporiate to insert stupid pics like that..

the thing about troops standing around, i posted pictures that depicted the result of the attack, rather than the attack itself... because you kinda need to show that attack AND the result anyways, i thought it would help just to put one than 2....

i DO have psp6.0, but i don't know how to use it.. i just open pics in PSP, and copy them to MSpaint..

sorry i didn't proofread... it's one of my many flaws...

do you sometimes get the feeling "i did this and even if i made a mistake, i won't catch it cause _I_ did this before and i would have noticed them."

i ALWAYS get that feeling. because i wrote it, i don't think myself proofreading will help. i need OTHERS to do that for me..

can someone willing to???

thanks for the comments..

"Still, 8 dragoons and a few zealots remained. Casper... spotted the attempted expansion at 12's natural and sent his remaining zealots there as the rest of the dragoons with 2 reinforced ones attacked -Ta|on-'s natural."

Stupid Stupid Stupid I deserved to lose after making that shitty decision. Pull back, secure the min-only and we're equal in econ AND I have a bigger army.
