Ok, just read it. As I was going through it, the decent html and grammer said 8, maybe 7, to me.
The game however was lacking to me though. Testosterone seemed to be, if not in control of the game (which he really wasn't technically since he stayed in his base), to be in no real significant danger by mid-game. The zerg came and did some damage and died (and repeat). 2 examples follow:
1. In the beginning he attacked with 2 groups of lings, but why did both groups get beaten by the zealots? He didn't dance the front lings back to buy time for the rear raiding group? Or if the probes excaped, sandwich the zealots between both groups? Did Test have that many zealots (He must've had more than was visible in the pics right?)?
2. Fighting zealots in an open area when there is a ramp close by (bottleneck) didn't seem like a good idea.
[Not saying I'm good at SC, I just noticed these things.]

***Part 2***
The pics reminded me of my own, plain boring borders and square, all squares.
The battles seemed greatly embellished in your writing, so it became hard to belive in your judgement by the end. Example being the battle between the zealot/hydras was "like a nuclear explosion"...
I'd say 7, since 6 seems to low, though maybe a 6.5
PS. The br seemed very pro-testosterone from the beginning which is not necessarily a bad thing if that's your style, but it hinted to me who would win as much as a hard elbow in the stomach.
PPS. The colors weren't bad, but personally I didn't like it too much. Yellow text with red pic borders... not quite clashing, but didn't seem to go together extremely well. |

I reviewed your second report and thought about ratings in general. I think that I may have been a bit too harsh in saying "maybe a 6.5", but your second report's game sounded much better than this one's.
I believe that a year ago this would have been guaranteed a minimum of 7-7.#, but time moves on and the bar has been raised... The question is how much.
If I had to guess, I'd say you were seduced by the power of a big name and decided to br the game if it was a decent game. The problem is that when a game is lacking a little, it is up to the writer to make up the slack (By being witty, humerous, or just being plain fun to read). It takes a very good writer to elevate the br's rating. The "embellishment" may have simply been because you were excited about the game which is understandable, but it seemed excessive. |

| nice work. One thing though is that some people might not have played Incubus and needed a full minimap. |

Hey, not too bad at all. Let me cover some positives first.
Your writing was improved, and did indeed seem to flow better. Your final collage was really good, I enjoyed that alot. You're making good progress in your collages, on the whole, although you don't need to show three smaller pictures of a couple zealots killing a couple hydras. Just one would have sufficed ( referring now to HeebFight.jpg ).
I believe you needed to work on your images overall though. First, red borders don't look too great. Second, some of the images you included were pretty much useless and could have been replaced by a single sentence. Your first FIVE pictures did not have to be included and could have easily been supplemented with text. You SHOULD, on the other hand, have included a full minimap without fog of war like Imp said.

Also, you want to find a somewhat better game. Although any game that has Testosterone in it is by default sexy, this was pretty one sided. If you want, msg me on b.net and I'll expand on that.
Solid 7. |

I thought the writing itself was great (except for some minor things such as "easu" when you meant "easy"), but two things:
1. I don't like yellow text
2. Red borders are bad
I also personally use abbriviations such as OV. Just write it out as Overlord. |

| Yeah dude, #6 had it nailed down I think. I was just super excited about being in a big game, I didn't take enough time to look and go...."BR worthy?....NAH!" I thought about the minimap thing, showing the whole map, and I was about to do it and then I got offtrack or something and forgot completely about the idea. I'l do that next time. Same thing with the unnecessary pictures. Thx. |

| #13 Redemption6[118113] |
| cache-1.sbo.ma.webcache.rcn.net |
| Yea just cuz itz got a bigname in it it doesnt mean the game is good. I was in a SCV-007 game ! woot! and watched him get smacked on a pvt ;) Anyways i thought the game wasn't that one sided. Or at least in the beginning. Your pics did not show a lot of zealots defending against those 2 groups of zerglings and the zerg player seemed to have the pincer movement and the outnumbering......after that though it was just a bunch o desperate attacks by the zerg. USE WHITE TEXT or use Mick's text from most of his text reports. Or look for html numbers if you don't want an original one. |

| #12: the colors u used (yellow, white, red) all look good on black. so does white, some shades of grey and generally bright/light colors. |

yea, i agree with redemption. Big names mean nothing and u shouldnt be rushing to br them. I obsd that scv~007 game to, and redneck-firebat owned it from the beginning. A better game between 2 nobody name would have been just as good.

It's hard to come up with stuff that hasn't already been said :P
Lag.IDO had the whole thing rapped up, better borders (thinner, and brighter) better game, etc. etc.
Its really great to see someone who's really active, you remind me of myself when I started. My record is 3 in the gold and 4 in the recent :P
What can I say more? Great fucking work man!

The br was good, compared to your others. You kept the text flowing and that improved the br. The borders were all red, which isnt very attractive. Use dark colors, they dont pull people's eyes out. Yellow text is ok, but this one was too bright. If you need color codes, just tell me, give me your email and I'll send you a whole pile of amazing colors, yay!
And another thing about text color: Research shows that green is the easiest color to read. That one research cost 5 billion$ so it cant be wrong.
Kidding.

Pretty nice. I wondered why you didn't have a mini-map that showed the map, at first I thouight it was because you were BRing without a rep.
But then I found out you did and I got confused as to why you didnt have a mini-map that showed the map.
Other than that only a view spelling errors, definantly a 7 |
