[10/20/2002]   When all else fails, there's always action films to keep a group of guys excited. A few hours ago I just got back from seeing The Transporter in the theatres with some old friends of mine. Think of this film as Jackie Chan with a Euro-slant, complete with French rap. It was hard not to laugh (even though the action sequences were good), and one of the best lines was the main character explaining one of his cardinal rules: Never open the package. Then, I get back to the dorm suite - where my suitemate left explicit instructions on his message board that something was "in progress", and that he shouldn't be disturbed. Lesson of the night? Never open the package.

On a more pertinent note, our text templates are nearly done. Any suggestions, as always - please feel free to email the Points of View staff. Have a good night...and be careful with that package.

That's a little too much alliteration. Anyways, Points of View is working on a seperate set of guidelines for reviewing MMORPG titles. Since there is no way to complete such a title, we felt it necessary to set the standards for a review. With the introduction of many next-generation consoles to online gaming, plus the growing number of MMORPG players in existence on Windows/Macintosh platforms, it's due time. Any other suggestions as to how we can implement this are more than welcome.

Amish: First and foremost, Phillipe Richer goes Gold. Congrats - you've earned it! Not only that, but another first for Points of View - the NES category of 'Reviewless Games' has been eliminated, thanks to Robust Stu and the end of his eleven review batch.
