Thanks :) I haven't used that function of Excel before, so it took me a while to make something I was satisfied with.

I edited the game sections to include some graphics settings as text. I decided to repeat the FSAA/AF settings for each game, rather than risk them being overlooked. Let me know if you like the change.

I was trying to avoid adding that information as text to the article's body because it's pretty dry stuff and screenshots are more precise. As an alternative, I bolded the figure references in each game's section. Does that help, or do you still want to see the settings as text?

I've taken Knuckles' suggestion to add a graph which summarizes the performance results. It is now Figure 5 and is referenced in the Ballistics Report.

I just added that information along with the operating system to the Performance section. The reader shouldn't have to dig through my old articles, after all. Thanks for all the input so far.

I'm not sure how I would assign a score. The article is more a performance analysis than a full product review.

A nastier prank on the part of the editors would be to announce the deadline has been moved to tomorrow. Not that I'm encouraging such behavior.

Heck, I'm not worried about it. I consider it a compliment to be in the final 10. Make no mistake, though. I'm in it to win it, #10 rank be damned. :)

Yeah, I agree to some extent. However, I suppose the goal of this contest is to select somebody who appeals to the readership, not the editorial staff. I'm still not sure who is more beneficial to me. :)

» Well...
It seems everybody is taking their time with this round, me included. Will public views, votes, and ratings still factor into the results?

Thanks for the nod. It seems it will be hard to stand out in this round, though. Maybe I will be surprised.

Not I. As far as I know Round 3 is supposed to begin on Wednesday, so I hope they use overnight shipping. :)

Definitely. Also, don't you think the leader of the military-types guarding the northern underpass is a little quick to threaten you? From half a mile away: "Stalker! I suggest you take off before we get angry!"

It seems all X800 owners who have played S.T.A.L.K.E.R have been unable to run the game with dynamic lighting acceptably. Meanwhile, the GeForce 7600, a comparably-powered but SM3-enabled card seems to run full lighting with ease. The developer might as well have disabled the dynamic lighting options for all SM2 cards.

I still run an Athlon 3000+ Venice core, so I can't judge the multi-core situation.

Spell-check is pretty reliable. Grammar-check, on the other hand, is only one factor in my complex system of checks and balances.

No, but in addition to the listed resources, I have the likely outdated 2003 MLA Handbook and the Firefox FastDic extention. The more crutches the merrier, I say.

Ack, you almost gave me a heart attack. I followed the link to these comments before reading the article and I thought your list was it. I am surprised I'm bringing up the rear, though. I've got work to do!

Here's a useless question to pass the time:

After I refresh the main page, why do I never see my article in the randomized list?

I know how you feel. The idea of being a technology writer has been rattling inside my head for years. I figured that if I didn't jump on this opportunity, I didn't have any business thinking about it anymore. Participating in this competition has been a tremendous boost for me.
