I too liked last week's issue more than this. I noticed that you were trying to use 'fancy' punctuation throughout the thread (like semicolons and dashes), but in all honesty I spotted basic grammar errors like run on sentences and missing capitalizations. My advice would be: don't use 'em if you don't know how.
I still think that your hack reviews are too opinion based, and therefore biased. Not to mention that you should have only rated one hack per issue. Going on about the rating, your review of Mythic legends seemed like an endless river of insults. No one cares about your opinion of how lame his hack is (not implying it is lame at all). In fact, I don't see one compliment or at least beneficial piece of information about his hack; hell, why did you rate his hack in the first place if you think it's so bad? You also mentioned the 'Scrapbox'. I don't think some newer members are familiar with it, so you shouldn't use that kind of term to describe something (not to mention it's rude). I think there was a bit of disrespect and other influences here from your past experiences -you shouldn't let that affect your report on his hack. About the interview, I agree with Manipulation. Besides that, I think it was great that Spherical Ice had some background knowledge about Astar's hack (I like your hack too Astar \ shout out) . Summing it up: 1) Use proper grammar (especially since this is a News Paper) 2) Don't use RHN as your excuse to bash at members who you dislike 3) Provide facts and information, aside from your opinion 4) I want a more topics to be covered. (Maybe something like ROM hacking accomplishments, with a cool discovery that someone came up with). 5) I like the CSS :) No I don't care if you decide to eternally hate me. I'm just providing some criticism about your methods and your RHN issue. |
Well, last week's was honestly better than this week's, like mostly everyone else said. And there's no Tips and Tricks? )= Most of the stuff is hack reviews... And there's grammar errors here and there, but yeah. Also, I think that the RHN doesn't have to be posted every week. Once you have good, nice information, you can release a new newsletter. It doesn't have to be every week, or else it looks like you're rushing and there's not a whole lot of good stuff to read. So, I just suggest take your time on this, read thoroughly, wait some time so there will be more different stuff on the newsletter, than post the newsletter once it's ready. (=

Ah, the second issue was much better. It's nice to see that you've put some effort into improving, something that a lot of people refuse to do. However, there are still a few things I didn't like.

Other than that, though, this review seemed pretty good. I haven't played the hack but just from reading the new posts in its thread every day, it seems like you've hit most of the main issues (off the top of my head, you forgot that one annoying gym sign). However, I really didn't like the second hack review. Didn't Vrai specifically mention objectivity in his post? The second review is written very informally and with much personal bias. Something to strive for next time, I guess. Though it can't fully take the place of a nice Tip/Trick, the Beginner's Corner subject is an important one and I'm glad that you touched on it. Hopefully the people that need help with textboxes actually read this. The interview was much better this time. (edit: I finally got around to reading other people's responses (I wanted to formulate my own without reading anybody else's first) and I have to agree that it did seem a little unnatural. However, it still was a big improvement from last week's interview.) Also, you've just given me an idea for a great Christmas present. ;) |
Erm. Thanks for the textbox trick(I am a beginner. ;]) However, your review for the second hack was rather rude. o_O

I'm glad to see issue 2 is finally up, but I'm sad to see quite a bit of negative feedback.
I read thought everyone's comments and I can see what you meant by the interview feeling 'Unnatural'. I don't believe it is any fault of Spherical Ice as his interviewing questions were very professional. I think It would of been better to of cut out pointless dialogue between questions so it didn't feel so dry to the reader. On the whole, RHN is improving... It has only been 2 weeks so you've gotta give it chance to find a fomula that everyone likes. :) |
To be honest you need to add more to the article. It's too short, think of something fresh and NEW, that's never been seen in a RHN before. If you can't think of any ideas, ask the people here as they're the ones reading it.
I'd really like this to be better than the old one, so c'mon guys you can do it! :) |
This is great! I can't wait for, issue 3? But, I feel the interview was unnatural and short, plus it went way off the point. Wasn't it a ROM hacking interview? All in all, keep it up!

Just thought I'd let everyone know, there will now be a new issue every two weeks, instead of one, as I have exams in a month, as well as having my hack to work on. So, the next update will not be tomorrow, but the week after. Happy Halloween!
