Talk:My Buddy Sandman/@comment-5245439-20140616221418

Urkelbot, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite authors on this wiki :)

First of all, I like the fact that you incorporated screenshots into this story. You don't see too much of that, apart from BEN, which was masterfully done. Though it seems like it could be done in some MS Paint type program, it also looks realistic, especially for college freshman 1991 programming stuff. Though I do have to ask, where did YOU get the pictures? ;) You are very talented at these photos btw, I like both these and the ones in Metroid: Mother?. I would almost say this pasta has an autobiographical detail (you being a graphic design major! :D)

I like to judge stories based on their story-ness (as opposed to most pasta-goers who like to evaluate creepyness), and I will say this is a good story. Though the characters aren't really, well, characterized too well (I still don't know the main character's damn name, haha!), what's most important here is the game, and the game delivers. I might check out a copy of Warlocke, too bad it's now defunct.

I kinda wish there was a little bit more known at Sandman. Usually, when someone unknowingly collaborates with criminals, their dissapearance is usually chalked up to "sleeping with the fishes". But he did transfer and continue his studies, so what do I know? Too bad Protagonist never called up his buddy Sandman :(

I think the title is very good, less telling than the Metroid: Mother? one. I'm a fan of titles that don't give away too much, like the "Eric"s of the world, as opposed to the "Animal Crossing: Dead Town"s of the world, so good job with that as well!

Gonna give this a 9/10, as I quite enjoy realism. And if your talents include coding, I would suggest a Sonic.exe tailoring of this story, that is, make Warlocke into a real game! Just don't go around killing people for your digitised photos ;)
