[07/20/2004]   Sorry about the three week gap between Paul hopping continents and me reappearing from the twisting æther. I'd tell you all the sad story of forty-hour work weeks and RPGamer department head meetings... But it could only bore me to do so, and thus I'll not go that route.

Anyhow... Roku jumps from 31 reviews to 49 tonight. Next week, he'll join the upper crust of the super gaming elite forces! platinum reviewers. Also, Otterland has added a nice look back at the earlier Tales, and continued chopping down his early perfect scores by washing a point or two off of Final Fantasy X.

At any rate, we should be back to our weekly Tuesday updates for awhile after this, so I expect you to start throwing new material my way, and all you readers that I've never heard from to begin a reviewing career so we can put an end to these Roku / Otterland-centric updates. Until next week, I bid thee adieu and ask only that you don't dip your cheese doodles in sour cream, 'cause that's freakin' nasty...
