So recently I finally beat Mario Galaxy. I only have 90-some stars, and I hope to get the rest one day.

Anyway, since we haven't done one in a while, it's-a time for

Review Drive 6!

Before I start, I should mention that there were almost no reviews for the last one. Not very good thing. So I picked two games that don't have a single review that could use some attention.

This week's game #1: Not Mario Pr0n
This week's game #2: Super Mario Breakout (DEMO)


And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Heh heh heh... I have ALL 242 STARS! I'm not telling where the last 122 come from. It's a secret!
And it's about time some of my sprites got in! Now if only that Nintendo Kart Demo V2 would get in. Then I'd be happy.

The links work fine. Maybe they were fixed, though; I don't know.

Was Flipiberke the only reviewer from the last drive whose review stood up to the quality standards?

Nobody's being shunned, it's just that turnout was super low

I think the turnout of the last review drive was a sign that they're not the hype that they used to be. Of course, I would've reviewed Mario Racing 2, but I tried twice and got logged out automatically each time I hit the submit button. I refuse to go back and try to review a third time.

whoa. I like the review drives... but that was a comment wasn't it? is there anything against negative comments? I don't like 'em... but I didn't find anything in the rules about that... anyway I have 3 reviews in the que (however you spell) and it's been a long while... longer than usual for reviews... what's up?

Seriously, what the hell inspires you people to beat the games so fast? The game just gets boring quicker and is less worth its price. It's like wasting money as soon as you receive some.

Uh, they're probably just good at it. Not everyone spends 1000 hours on Super Mario Bros., although many do.

Here's the scary thing: The day after I got SMG, my brother and I spent 12 hours in a row playing it. Me: 3 Brother: 9! I beat the game (as in Bowser) in 1 week. I got all 120 stars in 2 weeks. I got all 242 stars in 4 weeks. So it took me about 1 week to get 60 stars. My brother beat Bowser in 3 days, got 120 in 1 week, and all 242 stars in 2 weeks. Then again, my brother's like the "Video Game Wizard."

On another non-SMG related and more serious note, and nobody yell at me for this, I'm only throwing ideas around, if MFGG got a few more staff members, not very many people would be complaining about the queue speed. Then we could stop getting negative comments and staff members getting whiny PMs from members complaining that their submission isn't in yet. I know I was part of the negative commenting, but seriously, I think that they should try to find someone to help speed up the queue speed. But hey, that's only my opinion, though I bet many agree.

As someone who runs his own site as well, I'm generally against the idea of people whining about changes brought about to help spur activity on the site.

Not only that, if he just didn't like the review drives, that'd be one thing, but to scream and call them "horrid" for what appears to be absolutely no reason, he ought to keep that to himself.
