Published at The Game Chair - 2nd Review
I successfully had my second review for "Indigo Prophecy" published at The Game Chair this morning. Check it out and feel free to leave comments there so that they can tell that some people actually read my stuff. Make me feel good or something eh?Update on Aquafina: I spoke with Health Canada and the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency), they want to obtain my bottle (which I still have in my fridge) and examine it. I want to know what the heck I ingested that made me sick for 2 days, and hopefully it isn't anything too serious. Or at least anything that would have long lasting effects.
Meanwhile, I'm busy with several customer pre-sales engagements and so I must cut my post off right... here.

That's pretty gross about the bottled water. There have been a lot of purity issues with bottled water recently. Check out this link:

The best thing to do with drinking water is filer tap water (with a Brita, or something like that). For extra measure, you can boil it afterwards. Or, hell, drink the tap water straight up. It may taste like a swimming pool, but at least in most cases it probably wont kill you.
Great review, by the way.
I liked the review, but to be honest, I hate the medium.
I'd be more into gamechair, but their editorial control is severely lacking. I think the concept is good, but gamechair's execution leaves something to be desired. I find the writing of most reviews to be of questionable quality -- and it really turns me off.
Case in point, the Pikmin 2 first play review: did you read the little intro blurb? WTF does that mean? A whole paragraph wasted on some fucktard's half-wit commentary on bad managers! WTF!
Case in point, the Full-Auto 60% complete review: again read the intro para. WTF!!?! Somehow the editor thought it would be a great idea to let fucktard #2 practice his creative writing skills. Fine. But for sake of all our time, and the credibility of the website save us from the pointless drama.
I want thoughtful reviews from real people, not aspiring writers who are allowed to incorporate their homework into each review.
You can't expect a free site like that where they don't pay the writers to always have top-notch writing.
But yeah, Blight's articles are obviously a step above most of the other writers.
Actually, I'm all for writers pushing the envelope on game reviews. It's a little tiring to always hear about stunning graphics and unbelievable gameplay.
But I'd have to agree with Dalban on this one - the writing on the site is pretty sub-par. It's neither engaging nor well-written.
And here I thought that I should change my style to include some kind of creative writing...
Well any criticism is appreciated, glad you guys think my stuff is decent.
Feel free to sign up and contribute - it only takes a couple hours to write a review up. Of course, for me it's fun and a good creative outlet. For you, well I assume you may have more productive or fun things to do.
Maybe I will write something... I've had an idea for an article for a while...
So, did you develop any mutant powers yet, like the ability to smell 2 year old cheese a room away?
