Chris that is a fine idea. Are there any games you don't own? Can you talk a little about your process for video capture? How long it takes to put together one review? Maybe a list of upcoming titles? It would be really cool if you did like Paul and made some podcasts of your reviews. I would love to take them on the go. (Just like my PC Engine City complete set).
Hey, thanks for your kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate them. I'll try to answer a few of your questions really quick.
The only US released game I believe I'm missing is Might and Magic III. I have a manual though, SIGH! Anyone have an extra?
It takes me a while to put a review together. I start, obviously, by playing the game. As I play, I capture the footage onto a Digital-8 Tape (to preserve the analogue signal the best that I can). Then I capture scenes into my computer and as I do I make notes on a Word document of things I really want to make sure to mention. Then I do a little research to see if the game has an angle I can take in the review, unless I already know it (then I still do research to make sure I'm not full of crap), write the script, do the read and then do the edit. I really try to be extremely thorough and represent the game as best as I can based on how I feel about the game. As an "anal" editor professionally, I try to keep things in check and NOT kill myself on them (I could literally do a thousand more things with them than I do and I have to say "okay, it's done, let's move on or else you'll never get to the next one)." You know?
Two are in the works now.........Dungeon Explorer II and.....Darkwing Duck. Oh, I can't wait to do that second one. I JUST beat it on NORMAL mode FINALLY (after trashing my controller). LOL!
Thanks again!
Chris
