Dude...I rated you pretty high. I don't get how you aren't higher. Don't get down man, there's a another prelim opening up on the 5th. Learn from this one and don't be afraid to try something else. Wait, why the heck am I helping the competition?!?1 ;-) » Login to reply to this  hipcheck (301)   Mar 02, 2007 - 08:59 am I rated you above your average ;) maybe there is a double agent at work! » Login to reply to this  darrellwu (24)    Mar 03, 2007 - 03:25 pm | Edited on Mar 03, 2007 - 03:26 pm Oh, I see, that's too bad. Hopefully the file size will increase for future rounds as I'd definitely be interested in seeing the "directors cut" of you videos, heh. » Login to reply to this  hipcheck (301)    Mar 03, 2007 - 03:57 am darrellwu: thanks much for the comments... to reply to your thing about length: I had to cut out over a minute to get the file size down. about 1/3 of the whole thing was about WWSM, but it was too long... I was initially trying to get it under 10MB, but just couldn't do it. trust me, I could have done 20 minutes on this game, there are tons of idiosyncrasies that drive me nuts! » Login to reply to this  darrellwu (24)    Mar 02, 2007 - 08:08 pm | Edited on Mar 02, 2007 - 08:14 pm Great review, I also have no idea why your rating is so low. This is definitely one of the top tier videos in this round. I suspect other entrants voting may have something to do with it - I'm not voting at all in the writing round I'm entered in, because I know there's no way I can possibly be objective - or it might be the American bias against soccer. =D. In any case, I think the editors have some opportunity to "weight" their scores too, so perhaps you can still make it in! As for actual comments - you voice is pleasant, you enunciate well, and you're speaking at a good speed. I like your small humorous asides, they made me smile and they're placed at the right points (the beginning and the end) so that they do not distract the viewer from the narrative course of your review. Only suggestions I have are about the length - I think it could be longer, and you could engage some of its features more in-depth. You mentioned Worldwide Soccer Manager in the blurb but you don't compare the two games at all in the video review itself. 9/10, not a 10 because of what I mentioned above, and also because I haven't seen all the videos yet and I want to leave myself room to possibly rate something higher than your video. I don't anticipate that happening, though. =D » Login to reply to this
