Ah. That was a very nice issue Dshayabusa Thrace. I clap my hand for the RHN team. I don't know why I just really enjoyed that issue.

Kawaii made a mistake.
"These knew hacks aren't as original as the old ones."
Do I still get 10 points?

There's one other somewhere in there as well, I think it's in Kawaii's article as well...

EDIT: "there were no tools and we had to learned how Gameboy Advanced ROMs work"

But it's not really that important, we all get the meaning.

Took a while to read everything. It's good that Spanish hacks also get the chance to get reviewed (just to be fair to everyone), I'm happy for that ^^

Enjoyed reading the interview with DJ (was one of the people that I was looking for seeing in an interview) does people still call you Time...? hahaha! XD

We were missing one or two non-HotW reviews, but still the issue was quite long and interesting. Good job!

the "ShinyGold Era" OMG! :laugh:

Again, pretty interesting, but I think a single review isn't enough.
Try to make some more next time ;)

AHHHH! I'm going to hide in a corner...
Thrace already pointed that one out to me...but he didn't change it like I asked... :P I saw a few more errors in my article, but I'm not going to point them out.

...maybe they won't notice?!

I thought this issue was really good, just because we had a good mix of different sections. We should start the "The ROM Hacking Newsletter Complete HoTY News Coverage"! It sounds legitimate, I think?

Great Issue, guys! I'm getting really excited about the HotY this year! I agree with the review of Keyra, It was a great hack, with some errors. I totally agree with Kawaii's testament about today's hackers...Even If I may be one of them. The Beginner's Corner was great too. I think it may help some people, as when i first tried XSE, I was like WTF, because I couldn't figure it out. Ooh, cool! I didn't know that about Fuchsia City and the OW change. That's a cool tip, although I don't know what I could use it for:P The interview was quite interesting. I spotted an error in it, though. jagolddemium says (12:25 PM):
I don't know...
Isn't green, like the rest. Overall, the issue was quite nice, although it was a bit short. Luck~

There's always a big gap in my heart when I finish the RHN and have nothing to do...
But it's always filled in when the new issue is posted.

Good job Thrace, the RHN never fails to impress.

Just letting you all know that Neti resigned from doing the map rating. Thrace has asked me to take his place, and now I will be rating the maps instead of Neti. And no... I won't go easy on you xD

It was short, but at least how it depicts the state of the ROM hacking scene is accurate.

I think you're being a little too light on Spanish hacks, though. When graphics become overused (or just shared) and you're able to think "oh! that style seems familiar"…? I think that's a point of failure.

Having several reviews per issue causes a few issues. For one we could simply run out of hacks to review. Theres also the chance that people will take reviews less seriously if we have too many per issue.

Well we can't just interview anyone, it has to be someone who has contributed a great deal to the community or is well known. The two should go hand in hand though, don't you think? >_>

Just wait a bit guys.

Yes, the latest issue isn't up yet, it was pointed out once, other don't need to come along and point it out again. It's not really helping anybody.

Some guys weren't able to help this week so naturally it may take a bit more time. Be patient and let Thrace work his magic.
