To help alleviate Fell's artical problem I hear by declair next week "Giant Robot Week" here at TWG. Wither it's anime, RPG, tabletop, comics, video games or just your ranting on the subject we'll take it. Even a cool webcomic if you know of it. Just use our spiffy submission form (http://www.timewastersguide.com/edit.php?page=articles) and submit away. Or if our Gnomes that manage all our content scare you e-mail your article to [email protected], and I'll personaly deal with the little buggers.
I personaly have 4 articles that will be up next week, plus a special surprise to end if off with. You can expect to be shocked and amazed as you read reviews of:
Palladiums Macross 2 RPG (becasue I cannot find my Robotech RPG books)
Meakton RPG
Macross pluss DVD review
edit:Macross 2 anime reivew
and all the anwsers of the universe will be revieled in my article about mecha and gamming, are they made for each other.
Hurry now, this exciteing event starts next monday and ends friday.
-
I shall give an account of the time i saw the worst giant robot movie ever: ROBOT JOX!
-
Expect a LOAD of Eva stuff from me. Actually, given my propensity for laziness, don't expect it, just hope for it.
But I have an essay which I may or may not tweak before submisison. Then I can have a review for each DVD, the collection, and also a commentary on each episode, explaingin things, showing things people may have missed, etc.
Of course, someone may have to stop me once I get momentum going. I tend to rant on the topic.
-
If I played more mechwarrior I'd give you a mechwarrior strategy article...and though I love Big O, I don't know enough about it to write anything...and you're already doing some Robotech stuff....
Maybe I'll do a nostalgiary review of Rifts World Book 5, about the New German Reublic. They have tones of giant robots in there. Of course, given the amount of time I have, don't expect much. I know Sprig has a lot planned, though, so it should be a good week.
-
YAY!!! GIANT ROBOT WEEK!!! Please (because i hae neither the resources or know-how) somebody help me make a shrine/omyage to zone of the enders (the best giant robot game ever) if anyone is interested please contact me. my aim address and email should pop-up with the post as usual.
-
Ok, that above thread had little to do with the topic, but that's to be expected, considering the source.
Anyway thanks to JP's Eva articles and SE's article, there should be enough content for GIANT ROBOT WEEK for 2 articles a day. Thanks you two.
-
I would love to personally make a giant robot week flash, but I am afraid I wouldn't get it done in time for the end of the week, therefor, I will need to have one done for next year...
-
what do you mean it had little to do with the topic? I want to make a contribution to giant robot week, preferably involving my fave giant robot game, but i need help cuz i have no idea how to start.
-
Giant Robot week o_o
I know! I'll do a review of GURPS Robots! That has, uh, biggish ones.
-
how do i go about making a contribution to grw? is there a submission form to fill out? what are the guidlines? I'm pretty much in the dark here so i would really appreciate some help, please...
-
we provide content in the form of reviews and articles. The FAQ (http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1080380396) that EUOL is currently writing should help. ALso, view the most recent content on the front page.
-
thank you, I'll use this new found information to refine my new post.
-
Hey SE, since GRW is partly to give Fell a break from editor duties for a week, do you mind proffing the articles that get posted? I'm scared to think what would happen if I was the only one doing so.
-
heheh, yeah, I'll do it. I guess they'll have to be emailed since such a small percentage will be RPG articles.
I'm rethinking my RObot Jox one. I'm thinking I don't have that much to say. I'll probably try it, but if it comes out stupid, abandon it.
-
I'll just make all of them RPG till I post them. Make them easier. And don't worry about the Jox reveiw, if you can't do we'll still have enough articles. I just wanted to read you trashing the movie.
-
sounds good to me.
-

Seems that's the old version of the essay...I didn't get the right version to the right person or something. I'm going to bed in about a minute, but you may or may not want to wait till tomorrow so I can send the updated version (only a coupel of sentances dfference, but SE wanted me to make the changes).
-
I didn't see them. Can you just forward them on to Spriggan and he can edit them in? He's done that for me on some other articles (like the Zendo review)
-
Yeah. Tomorrow. Need sleep, clown will eat me, need sleep, clown will pilot giant mecha eva and eat me...
-
foolish people, staying up till midnight and then capable of posting to a message board but not sending an email.
OH. And hte clowns get you when you DO go to sleep.
-
gerr, well I can wait till tomorrow to have JP's article linked on the main page. Would need to write something up to replace it though. Well guess I know what I'm going to do for the next few hours.

-
Jam's essay on Kihl seems incomplete. Did the entire text get posted?
-
Well Spotted, I didn't see that. Indeed, it's missing the last paragragh.
-
Sorry that was my Bad, the article has been fixed.
-
only one article today, I'm just been too tired to do anything. I'm actualy suprised that I've managed to stay up this late.
JP's Eva DVD 3 (http://www.timewastersguide.com/view.php?id=712&dep=4) Review.

I don't have an article for today, the projects I tried to get done I didn't for various reasons. I'm going to try and get something up, just not sure what yet.
