  • Every month, we'll spotlight some comments from the readers regarding the previous month's issues. Here's what our readers have to say about last month's issue.

  • "The Problem with Hamsterspeak article is oozing with subtle brilliance in its sarcasm." -KittenMaster

  • "The review blitz was awsome. I have to say that I agree with Surlaw's take on S.T.R.A.N.D.E.D. (By the way, what do those letters stand for? I guess this guy just really likes random period placement.) This is just another example of visual style trumping actual quality. Kind of like Transformers 2." -Mr. 8-Bit

    • "Nathan: If your review contains more than three references to TVTropes, it's time to go back and do some editing.

    Baconlabs: Viridia looks amazing. There's a lot of love put into that game and it shows.

    Surlaw: I really enjoyed your rundown of the contest entries. I didn't agree with your placement 100%, but it made for a good read.    " -Moogle
    • "Fenrir-Lunaris's artwork in monsterology is spectacular!

    I am looking forward to Viridia now.
    Monsterology is outright Apocalyptic. I kept expecting the next line to be "And I looked, and behold a pale horse..."
    And thank you all for the obscene amount of votes that Don't Eat Soap received :)

    Although I think that the fact that I won is eroding the OHRRPGCE community's SECRET COMMUNISM. I am hard at work figuring out how to return my prize money to the proletariat masses.    " -James Paige
  • "The monsterology was awesome, and the artwork that went along with it was fantastic to say the least. Seeing artist renditions of these legendary villains was great, and it makes me want to play as the good Prof., just to see his righteous rampage. And why does it not surprise me he visited Arfenhouse right before he snapped?" -Stewie
