I really think that you should go and really brush up on your grammar if you want to pass yourself off as internet journalist. Yes the camp metaphor was creative. But that was not third person. It seemed more like you were writing your own verbal dialogue then simply writing an article.

I am aware that I frequently ignore these rules, but like Soldiers with PTSD, I have a habbit of not doing anything associated with bad experiences.

You are the second person (I know of) to write a review of The Escapist, and that guy got banned for it... so I think you've passed with flying colours.

Of course, watch your grammar and punctuation. Keep at it, and practice makes perfect.

You overused the camp metaphor, you used periods when you meant to use commas, and you still had some errors. For example "I couldn't help, but called it funny." I can't understand what that sentence is trying to say. Do you mean I couldn't help but call it funny, or I couldn't help myself and called/thought it was funny?

About the camp metaphor: A metaphor running for a bit is OK. But turning an entire review into a metaphor just makes it a chore to decipher and gets in the way of the review.

Good review, i came here because i got banned for a week at facepunchstudios.com and then i started to like it here. :p

You should be ashamed of yourself!

No need to give a Who-gives-a-*** o meter. He was just giving criticism.

I think you should take the camp metaphor farther. Are trolls mosquitoes? Is roleplaying 'experimentation'? You've just got to keep us on our toes. I kind of want to write about my experience on the Escapist forums, but I'm afraid I'd creep people out with how much I care about them.
