That's jazz, baby! Sometimes a touch wordy, but overal an outrageous, zany little ffa gem.

( btw some of the movies didn't work for me ).

teetering precariously on the brink of a 9.

First comment, thanks to anti-crap feature. They've been bugging me for half an hour rating this now, so better get to it.

The movies were... Fantastic :) Yamato cloning was quite the rush, only it was absolutely dominated by Blitz' nice zerg comeback versus the battlecruiser army. Sexy business.

And bonus points for a report that was easy on the eyes, and set in Lucida Grande.

Writing was, surprisingly, very entertaining :) Mattz kept to usual self with the contant wang references, but was otherwise (again, surprisingly) very elegant :D Had some really good laughs along the way.

So... What to rate.

Dagomar, fuck you. Beating me to it. Aren't you supposed to be retired?

<3

Anyway, was thinking about giving it a ten, but ultimately settled on a rock solid (mattz' wang kind of solid) 9.

Great fucking work.

At the risk of spamming . . . .

hi i am small: what could be done to make it a 10?
hi i am small: enlighten me !
DagomarDeg: I don't know, a spectacular game and an outrageous, unique format with zany text and just a general presentation so breathtaking and spectacular that not even I, in my lingering glory, could have imagined it.
hi i am small: so we just need a better game

Well, I had basically read the report and watched the movies, but the fact that it's actually out now is just enough to make me writh in excitement.


Oh and Mazel tov bitches.

#9: It's true -.-

I really think it deserves above a nine, but not a perfect ten. I'm not sure what br's should get perfect tens, but all in all very few I imagine (looking back at some of the br.com perfect tens, this is right up there with them).

Basically my only qualm with the report as a whole was the sluggish start of the game, but it wasn't really that bad because mattz had me laughing through it anyway with great text.

thanks for all your positive feedback.

Dag: update quicktime and flash, the movies worked for everybody else.

probably won't be seeing a br from me (or worked on by me) again. or at the very least in the near future. the effort:reward/rating ratio is abhorred. I personally think that this report deserves at *least* a 9.5, gaguing from the other reports on this site. But i guess you guys are the raters. meh.

lol

Uber report (wth does uber mean, anyway???), couldn't have done better... Say, could ya send me a few links for music similar to the music that was playing in the BC Yamato clone movie? I love that kinda music, and it'd probably go pretty good in a bw campaign or something.

Uber = German for "over". How it got into its current use in English defies my understanding. This thing's amazing, anyone want to give it a 10?
#22 mattzarella[150397]
162.7.33.65.cfl.rr.com
the music for the battlecruiser battle is Black Mages. it's a band that performs strictly Nobuo Uematsu music (starring him, on the keyboard). they're one of the best metal bands i've heard in my entire life, but i don't think i have any links to give you :[ just dl/buy the cd

the music for the clone yamato is total annihilation, i believe.. the flash animation of Fence's drops is, of course, The Temptations, and the Money flash is And the Money Kept Rolling In from Evita
#23 mattzarella[150398]
162.7.33.65.cfl.rr.com
aaaaaand the intro flash music is Baldur's Gate 2

I change my rating to a 9.3

Haha, well done. Movies were hilarious, pics were well done, BR had some great action. Writing was eloquent and funny. Choice of music was great. Game was a little on the iffy side though.

Ah well, still a 10 in my book. GJ, I want a sequel :]

Get to work.

Incredibly good job. I'm in the process of writing my first report, and after reading/watching this one, I'm not even sure if I should bother finishing and submitting it. The movies were kick ass. Keep it up.

There hasn't been a ten (at least in the search directory) since 2002. I guess we shouldn't start now eh? Anyway, Mazel tov.

No lith, not a perfect ten. But they could get a 10 or two to average the rating out to over a 9.
#39 Keanu_Reaver[150436]
ip68-230-2-63.ph.ph.cox.net
I really think people put a bit too much stock into fancy pictures and flash and the such expecting 10's, but if you take a look at the older 10's it wasn't the pictures and such that got the 10 (though they were always very good) but it was the quality of the writing (CM's dodging the parabola fish comes to mind) that pushed it over the edge.

The report was awesome, but the writing, while good, seemed to be lacking too much to earn the 10 as it was a bit too silly and not enough strong quality writing. 9 is very solid though
#40 [150444]
user-12l2ep3.cable.mindspring.com
I think Keanu's comments hit the nail on the head. While I really really appreciate the MASSIVE EFFORT I know went into creating this report, I am going to give it a 9.

The Flash and Movies were very cool, however I hope the download size of that battle report doesn't start to become a trend.

I give it a 10 for effort and a -1 for the game being so long and hard to follow. It took me 30 mins to read it and it was very hard to keep track of what was going on. I think 5 person FFA's are VERY VERY challenging to write.
#41 PeaceableGhost[150447]
69.212.30.7
I'd say the report itself is 8-9 level quality, but that yamato video is about 11. Thus my inital calling it a 10.
#42 [150452]
wc01.wlfdle.rnc.net.cable.rogers.com
More reason why Keanu should be a rater ;)
#43 deathgod[150461]
166.121.37.8
i can be a rater too if u guys would learn to appreciate my brand of rating
an example would be all wc3tf reports get a 10
all other types will be deleted
#44 LameJoker[150480]
pool-141-149-7-90.alb.east.verizon.net
WHY NO TEN EHH!?!! ?:(

sweet report, but I agree w/ Keanu that your writing needs a little bit more.
#45 livingexception[150504]
cae168-238-114.sc.rr.com
This was an absolutely heroic effort. It makes me sad that it only gets a nine. It is what this report deserves, however.

Damn, those movies were so nice.

#46 mykal[150529]

Great report, even though you didn't get the 10 you wanted. But, notice they posted a link in the news section too your report. Never seen them do that till now. The same report on a 1v1 or 2v2 would be a 10 all the way. FFA is to hard too follow and gets confusing at moments. But you did an FFA report that deserves a 10.

GIVE THEM A 10 DAMNIT!!!
#47 maareek[150557]
mblt-ac050.gtcom.net
I haven't read it yet, scared of the size of it actually. But as far as the rating, if you go in thinking "10 or bust" you're already setting yourself up for a fall. Personally, I think the pouring out of appreciation this report has been given is much more of a reward than a 10 rating. But maybe that's just me and my reports suck so I shouldn't be talking.

Much great mucho <3 to you guys.
#48 [150575]
c-24-9-238-168.client.comcast.net
What's to say that hasn't already been said?

I agree with JV, 10 for the effort. It showed. Perhaps if I still had dial-up I might feel differently about 'how' it showed, but it showed nonetheless.

I loved the collaborative effort. The writing was on the mark, though failing to achieve the memorable style of a Drefsab or Bob. Perhaps a change in narrative style or perspective could change this. As I said before, the effort showed. I loved the movies, and I loved the music that accompanied them. That yamato movie was something I've never seen before.

So about your rating. I find myself in a unique position. Not wanting to give a 10 away so easily, yet feeling obliged in knowing that it would make the report a nine point something (what it rightfully deserves).

So, I give you a nine point something. Consider it quantifiable encouragement.

Enjoyed reading this, make more!

pcp01551300pcs.11thav01.fl.comcast.net
A very nice report. The effort and the polish that went into it show. The writing though was a bit too wordy for my taste, which sometimes made the jokes seem forced and unnecessary. I would say concentrate more on the action and less on the repeated jokes of player's sexual orientation.
#50 [150633]
ip68-230-2-63.ph.ph.cox.net

btw, I wrote like 8 brs trying to get a 10 and was disappointed each time. Then again, you have much, much better graphics. But what I'm saying is, don't feel bad about not getting a straight 10 ;).

Example 1: You misspelled 'sequals.'
Example 2: Usage of the face -.-
Example 3: The overall narcissistic and self-righteous tone of your comment, while it may (or may not, herein lies the problem) be sarcastic, reflects a certain badness at the internet.
