| Thanks. :)
I had a feeling early on that I wouldn't make it through (as I commented in a couple of the blogs). My writing, while reasonably informative, borders on the boring most of the time. As part of my day job, I do a lot of documentational writing and it seems to have sucked away most of my flair.
I was looking forward to the creative round, just to get a chance to show that it's still there, but the Top 10 all deservedly got in before me.
Best of luck with the comp, I'll be keeping an eye out for all of you. ;) Flag this | Edit this post |

| Just something I've noticed - a lot of conversations seem to go more than 3 replies deep, so people have to reply to a previous comment, throwing out the whole hierarchy system of it all. Not sure on what an alternative would be, but might be something to think about.
EDIT: Oh, and a lot of people (including myself) seem to be putting in smileys. Any chance of a few of the basic images being put in to replace the usual :) ;) etc...? Flag this | Edit this post |

| I've still got NFI... Must be something I've never played.
EDIT: Sounds a bit like the music from Thunderforce IV, but that's just the style I think. I'll pass. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I'd remembered reading an article about her and John Romero back in the Ion Storm days. It was actually my first thought, but that photo doesn't really look like her. A bit of digging later and I saw that it was.
Not easy... more luck on my behalf. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I'm sure everyone is proud of what they have done, but when you miss out, you do get the feeling of disappointment, especially when there's a fair bit on the line.
For most of us, unless we aggressively try to get a writing job somewhere, this will probably be the only sniff at paid gaming writing we will get... Flag this | Edit this post |

| I'd be guessing it's the MegaCD version of Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog CD). The Dreamcast versions onwards have been 3D and as you say, the Genesis / Mega Drive couldn't handle music of that quality.
The new characters you're talking about were Metal Sonic and Amy Rose.
Someone mentioned Knuckles (your avatar). He appeared as a bad guy in Sonic 3, and then made a playable appearance in Sonic and Knuckles. Flag this | Edit this post |
