TRAVIO'S PROFILE
Travio
149
I make and play games - playing games I use as a reward for reaching specific milestones within my various development projects. I've played a wide variety of games, having started at the tender age of three and worked my way up over the years so that, at one point, I was actually going out of my way to find the original games (cartridges, CDs, whatever) to play.
All games I elect to review must be 'Complete' status (though games still in the process of clearing out bugs are fine and will be noted in the review itself). These games must have a download on RMN (as I pass them to my Dropbox queue) and need to be self contained - everything I need to play should be in the download, without needing to install anything (including RTPs; we aren't living in the days of slow connections anymore, people). You should also have any fixes in the download, not something I have to look through the comments for - I'm going to be avoiding them like the plague until I've finished the review.
When I review a game, I try to play as much of it as I can possibly stand before posting the review - I make notes/write part of the review as I'm playing, so a lot of what goes into the review is first impressions of sections. I'm also not a stickler - things don't have to be perfect - but I've seen many examples of things not done perfectly but, at the same time, not done horribly. I rate five categories on a scale from 1 to 10: Story, Graphics, Sound, Gameplay & Pacing, and Mapping & Design. 5 is average to me, so it's not necessarily saying that category is bad - it's saying it's middle of the road. Games within the same editor are compared to one another, not games across editors (I'm not going to hold an RM2k game to the same standards as a VX Ace game due to system limitations, but I won't let it hold back the RM2k game's rating) - unless the game is part of a series across multiple editors.

Magic the Whaaa...? My friends at school keep talking about magic the gathering. Even tried giving me some cards. My question is; What?

Get the most recent Duels of the Planeswalker game - it's like $20ish and will teach you the game and a ton of ways to play and learn.

Your goal is to reduce your opponent to zero life - therefore, you must physically punch them every time a monster attacks. The game's over when one of you is unconscious. If you pass out before you can deliver the coup de grace, it's a draw.

Greatest physical card game I've ever played, and I've played a lot.
But it will suck your money away if you're not careful. ;_;

I've realized my characters are starting to become more complex.
Will your next game be about the epic quest to get the Deep Dish of Cheekago? Like Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, but with more RTP!
It's totally my fault. My schemes are just that overpowered.
It's all Wildwes's fault.
Just finished a VERY good FF fangame which sadly isn't on the site. ;_; Is it possible that I could write a review for it, I wonder?
Started playing, looked through the graphics files... I am disappoint with the non-presence of Roggie characters. ;_;

Der, I never though to check th- holy crap, that file size. o.o Well, that's definitely not fitting in my Dropbox to play on the laptop, hah. Anyways, thanks a lot! Looking forward to taking a stab at it. Want to see how this person's version of the canon goes - I'm rather a huge fan of Eorzea as a setting~
