Thanks a lot for that, it's highly appreciated. In a response to your PM, you can upload the notepad file to spamtheweb or to any other hosting website and then send the link, so I can update my requests list news post. I haven't found any mistakes yet, excellent!
Hey, I'd like to make a few more requests of my own, if it's not too much :).
This one is another windows song of mine. Took me really, really long to do. I didn't really remove any drums in this since when I tried it without drums, it was so boring... Anyway, it uses 44 different sound effects, so when it comes to the variety of sounds, you're spoilt for choice :P.
I'd also like to request another review :\. It's a fairly new genre and a new scale to me, so it's not going to be that good, but it's what needs criticism mostly right now. I still don't know if it's hip-hop or classical rock yet :(...
Lastly, I'd like to spotlight an audio submission, if I'm allowed to, I'm not sure if spotlighting counts with the requests (and even then, I'm not sure if it's still 3 requests per week or 2). It's an audio submission by a favourite author of mine (he is amazing at making songs) and this is one of his best songs. Too bad it only passed the front page with 1 review, an around 15 votes.
Terribly sorry for the overload of audio this week :(, I promise it'll be a big while before I request any more audio reviews.

Basically, Spotlighting was something I came up with in order to produce more flash submissions in order to get a good number of reviews written every week and keep people like me interested in the game.
I just lost the game :(
Not that you'd notice that I'd been disinterested with flash reviews of late :P
Yes, there's a new version, incorporating, in fact, some things brought to my attention by you guys.
Always appreciated.

Soo.... basically we can't spotlight audio stuff, only flash?

In all my years reviewing flashes, audio, and games etc, I had no idea there was already a reviewing club other than the review crew. Sign me up for this shindig!!!

So am I automatically in the club or do I have to wait for approval?
If Approval's needed just look at my resume reviews in my profile.
If I'm in, should I start immedietly or should I wait for next Sunday?

The intention was to highlight Flash on quiet weeks. Feel free to spotlight Art and Flash, but audio should remain a non-needed commodity, as there are plenty of requests out there for that stuff, as is plain to see.
I'm just trying to keep the workload down here - Audio is fun to review, but there can be too much of a good thing, that's all I'm saying.

Well, it's somewhat automatic, but it's nicer to ask the other club members before you decide to join. :P
If Approval's needed just look at my resume reviews in my profile.
I had a quick look at your latest reviews and they look pretty good. May I suggest however that you create paragraphs every once in a while in your reviews? It's easier to read as it takes away this "wall of text"-feeling one can get while looking at your reviews.
If I'm in, should I start immedietly or should I wait for next Sunday?
It's up to you. Just be sure to post your points when you feel you have done enough reviews. You can find a list of points in the very first points. If you have any questions regarding the points system or anything else about this club, feel free to ask. :)

In all your years of reviewing? No offense chap, but you've hardly been doing this malarkey for years ;)
I totally agree with haggard though - your wall of text style of reviewing is a little hard for people to be expected to read them. Given that you write pretty detailed reviews, I'd say welcome aboard, so long as you obey the rules, you should be fine here.

I loved the How not to make a comic one even though it did start off a tad bit slow. :P I'm finished with these.

Quite a few like usual. I wish there was a way to limit them. :(
Camping in the forest By up-a-notch
I haven't listened to many, but I suggest we don't review this as it's something that is just a premade loop in garage band and the author really didn't do anything to make it at all.

Why don't you call it the three amigos and the supreme reviewer? I'd say that has a ring to it, don't you think? :P
Next week for sure now!
Yup :D.
Thanks for the update Supersteph.
You're welcome :).

Gah, only done one of these and its Thursday T_T. Alright, I'll try and do like 2 or 3 more today, another 2 or 3 more tomorrow, and go on a non-stop streak of reviewing in the weekend :\.
Quite a few like usual. I wish there was a way to limit them. :(
I've been thinking for ages but haven't thought of a solution, except this:
If our audio requests go over like 12 or so, we move the remaining requests to be reviewed the next week, but it'd be complicated to implement and it'll make the users wait much longer than usual, so apart from that half-hopeless idea, I'm out...
Also, totally unrelated to the subject: today, at school, I had an assignment where I had to write a book review on a book I read, and after I'd finished it, I was almost going to write "-Review Request Club-" at the bottom, lol :P.

I had the same idea, but as you've said it just doesn't work. :(

Well, that's one less review for me to make up before the end of the week. Only 4 more to go and I'm starting to ache. Mind you, I've been on my feet all day, so that's probably got something to do with it...

Yeah, we shouldn't review this. First of all there isn't much to review in this submission and second it seems to be pure spam. We shouldn't waste our time and effort on such requests.

Just reviewed it for ya my man. :P
its a 47 second loop. im not used to making house type music. this was a failed 16 bit project that i kinda got out of hand with.
thanks in advance guys..
I just reviewed both of you peoplez. :P
Hope you like them, though I tend to ramble on and on. :P
Hey, I'd just like to thank all of you at the review request club for your feedback, it was both helpful and encouraging, and I will endeavor to improve my work through your advice.
Well...I'm not really a forum type of guy but I thought I'd bounce around and found this club, quite interesting and if you don't mind doing some base reviews of remixes...

If anybody reads this and this is not deleted I am messing around trying to figure out how to do that button thingy I see everybody else doing..again I'm not exactly a person that posts on forums all that often...
I pen my life unto a paper so thin it breaks, I create my soul upon a charter so used it is lost. The pen is my weapon, my music is my heart, my soul...
Gah, now I feel like an idiot, anywho I'm going to properly link that song and two others, I do not know how to do it the button way (yeah yeah I'm a noob XD) but I'll post it up regardless T_T.
Something I did while trying to figure out an idea for a different piece...got an idea, just not for the one I wanted lol. Turned out alright though.
Dr. M Fever
I don't know why I went about this one to tell the truth, but I even surprised the all ye' mighty Wyldfyre1 into a high score...which effectively made me wonder if he hit the wrong button xD.
~-Chrono Trigger-~
Just gotten done with Fable...started another game that I forget...got bored of said game, sat down at computer, farted this out...smells good. (God...tired + forum posting = bad thing)
Fable - Rebirth (XB)
PARDON this second post! I did not mean it as I thought there was an edit button, perhaps there is and I am just plainly blind...so um, feel free to shoot me or, since this is my first time posting in your forums just wave me bye for a simple noob mistake DX. Thanks for taking the time to read this, OR if you review thanks for that especially.

Sorry, but I don't think I can finish all of the reviews this week. It's Sunday night and I still have around 8 to go. With school getting in the way it's going to be pretty hard getting all the reviews done :(. I'll try and get them all done this week, it doesn't look like it's going to be such a busy week.
This doesn't mean I'll let you catch up with me, Darklight >).

Request
Please if you are going to review someone's work, read the description first, I requested a review on a work and got the same review 5-6 times from people saying it would be better if you added strings or something, and its to quiet, even though I mention in the description, this is a work I did for a composition project where we were required to use this text and this instrumentation. It had to be bassoon and vocal soprano, I also would like to say that although I appreciate your review, I do, look back at some of the other review from your fellow club members because you guys all essentially said the same thing.
Hi everyone and thank you very much for reviewing my submissions you havehelped me very much :)

The rule that says "3 requests per week" is still up, we will possibly elaborate on a new rule that would restrict the number of requests per week. But for now, you can request reviews on 3 of your songs and then spotlight a submission that you like if did all the requests of the past week, which you is your case. By the way I gave you your 5 extra points for referring Darklight :).

If several of our fellow club members say the same thing or criticism, then it may mean it's especially veracious and it must be pointed out; go with it. What's more, we don't pretend to be all great audio reviewers, we just review what is posted on the thread (which is mostly audio).

I finally manage to finish the update; some users (barely all active members actually :P) were surprised I was updating the list that early and had still several reviews to do but I was so kind I waited for them all ;). Enjoy the update.

Yeah, it would be great if 7 people would all say different things about a submission. But sometimes it's just not possible. And if 7 people think the submission is too quiet, well... maybe it really IS too quiet. ^^
