Review HotU is AWSOME! says Kenston High School

Tags: Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark

Our collection of Friday reviews and interviews wouldn't be complete without someone's mentioning the unholy name of NWN. This time it's <a href=http://www.kenston.k12.oh.us>Kenston High School</a> who posted some <a href=http://www.kenston.k12.oh.us/khs/video_games/pc_neverwinternights_hotu.htm>impressions</a> of <a href=http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark>HotU</a>.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Hordes of the Underdark is Bioware's second expansion to it's smash hit Neverwinter Nights.
<br>
<br>
The singleplayer campaign also introduces a new feature: being able to have not one but TWO henchmen. AWSOME! That is just so cool. Too bad that you probably won't want to bother with the campaign. I'm sure Bioware did a good job on it, but you don't shell out thirty dollars for soloplay.
<br>
<br>
If I have one beef with HotU it would the small amount of music, character voicesets, character portaits, and head skins. I know they were busy working on HotU and the PC version of KotOR, but come on Bioware! Sure you can download player made content from around the net, but everyone is gaurnteed to have Bioware standard pieces.</blockquote>
<br>
There you go, folks. The new generation has spoken. AWSOME!

Why the hell does a high school post a computer game review?

 

[slavemaster]

I almost feel sorry for the poor kid. With that article he just pissed away any hopes of getting any job in any journalism field.

Of course, that's also probably a good thing.

His writing killed his dreams and aspirations to become a professional journalist? AWSOME!

I started high school this year and I certainly don't write like that. I don't think I would write in such an idiotic fashion even in elementary.

Yes, two henchmen are just SOOOO COOOLL!!! And lookie, we have... OMFG!! WE"VE GOT ROBES PEOPLE!

Regardless of whether he intended for that career or not, future employers would simply laugh at this piece of shit. Why, when I was in high school I wrote much better than that.

Was it written in Crayon?

Typing skills isn't the same as writing skills. So the kid didn't let a teacher proofread his piece on a game he liked. Yeah, I guess that will destroy his career in journalism.

If you just started with highschool (which makes you what, 12?) you'd know 12-14 year olds say stuff like "this such-and-so is awesome!" all the time. They write in an immature/childish fassion because they're exactly that. They're kids.

Typing skills isn't the same as writing skills.

And the writer of that review is sorely lacking in both areas.

Yes, I'm 14 and I just started high school this year. I don't think anyone I know at school is like that, but of course I don't hear comments on various video games that often and I probably don't even know a fraction of all the people who go to the school, so I guess I'm not really seeing the big picture.

Still I am surprised how dumb that review was, even if it was written by a bunch of 12 year olds...

 

[Realbumpbert]

I don't doubt that the majority of high school students are possessed of the most abysmal writing skills, but they shouldn't be on the school newspaper. Even the mediocre publication at my own school knows about the pesky 'silent e'.

I don't blame the kid for that idiotic article, but it's funny in a sad kind of way.

 

[Elwro]

That's pathetic. I'm not sure if it was worth a news post - I can't even wholeheartedly laugh about it.

If it was highschool, me and my RPGCodex reading pals would of hid in the shadows until he came around and then we'd FALL APON HIM or something.

Either way, he'd be visiting a toliet.
