Do reviews have to be a certain length?
Do I have to take screenshots myself?c
And since you guys are editing all the funny, guess i could use the practice. I actually do wanna contribute, but am mired by the self-awareness of my complete banality.
If it's a review for a PC game and I have it, I will gladly take screenshots for you. If I don't have it and it's retailing for twenty bucks I will probably just go buy it. If it's more than that I can probably work something out through alternative channels. The length of time required to get them depends on how exacting you want them to be -- BDR, for instance, had a very specific requirement for something that happens at the very end of a game that took me three or four days to nail down. In contrast, the first draft of the Baldur's Gate II review had a request for a shot of the fireball spell going off haphazardly. That took about a minute to grab.
I ultimately want to get to the point where I can take screens from PS and PS2 games via a capture card that is hooked up next to the computer by my TV. I've got everything picked out and working except for the actual card. There was a thread on Planethate regarding which card to get, but there are some non-Caltrops things I want to do with the setup as well (like turn the PC into a Directv compatible Tivo) so I still need to do some research to figure out what card I need to get. I will probably get going on this when it's urgent, i.e., somebody is slagging the shit out of "Spy Hunter" and screens are needed for this review stat.
I'd like to get an X-box, and was in fact hoping to do so at the end of the quarter, but I just found out today that my company is being sold, so I dunno how responsible that would be. (Getting a Gamecube is going to require something like Nintendo all of a sudden announcing Zork, Starflight and Tass Times in Tonetown sequels for it. I don't know; nothing against it, it's just unlikely that I will get one.)
When the e-mail addresses go live, having screenshots@caltrops.com forward to my personal e-mail account would be a great help. In the meantime, I can be reached at beaver@zombieworld.com. Just let me know who you are on the forum and what game you're reviewing and I'll get going on that.
