[Newgrounds Radio Chat]

A Step in the Right Direction

The chat is currently down right now for whatever reason, so I'll use the time to write up a review.

I've seen this chat grow from its infancy, when it was buggy, unstable, and spammy, to a developed, streamlined operation in a matter of only a couple of weeks. A lot of dedication and hard work went into this, and was made possible not only by Poder, but the charismatic users who stuck by it and made it into an interesting place.

There are a couple of gadgets and incentives lying around, like the profanity filter and the opportunity to have your quality artwork seen as a background, and discussed by dozens of NG users in real time.

The radio serves as a great icebreaker and a way to keep people connected not only to each other, but also to the musical artists who work so hard to get noticed.

A Big But:

What has kept the chat alive for as long as it has survived is its active supporters, as well as a Moderator and developing team that makes bold efforts to innovate. The chat won't be on the front page forever, and without that status, it may very well fall into obscurity. If there's a strong desire now to keep it running, there's much to be done to keep it extraordinarily memorable, and very clearly in sight.

Signing off,
Cs

[Straw Hat Samurai]

Speed

As most of the compliments and criticisms have gone through regurgitation, I'd like to address a feature of the game that may have been overlooked. For those who believe the hero of the game still moves to slow, you can use your slash technique to transport you from one end of the screen to the the other in only a matter of seconds, whether or not you actually hit an enemy. In fact, you can scroll to the extremes of the field, drop your slash and actually see our samurai run from one end to the other.
