[09/09/2002]   You know an infatuation with RPGs has gone to a new level when Japanese is added to your course list. That's right, starting as of last Tuesday - 1st semester Japanese is part of my class schedule. Ohayoo gozaimasu is a polite way of saying good morning - and considering this is the beginning of the school year, it's all too appropriate. Not everything has been great - got laid off of my temp job, women are still mysterious - but hey, it can change! At least the hiragana characters are easy for now...

It should also be noted that the Fall/Christmas rush of new games begins this week - many of the E3 titles announced last May will start to hit North American shelves, and all RPGamers should be in for an interesting surprise. Once again, good luck!

As stated in the PSoV submission guidelines, our reviews should fall between 750-1000 words. Some of our recent submissions have been around 1500 words, and that's perfectly acceptable - but 2000 is our 'unofficial' top limit, and anything over that will not be put up. While many of the titles reviewed can have long critiques written about them (and have been already) - there is only so far you can go into certain aspects of the game, and per our guidelines as well - spoilers are not allowed. Anything over 2000 words, and we'll most likely send it back for you to clip, with suggestions on what to do.

Amish: Phillipe strikes again, at least he spared my recreation of the Silver page ;P Also of note is Red Raven's blitz - at this rate he will be our first Blue reviewer. Is he a machine or what?
