The Matulef Afterword: Episode 21

09.11.2009

We’re excited to announce and post the first of what we’re hoping will be many guest pieces for the Big Red Potion site. This is one is from regular show guest Jeffrey Matulef, and is on his latest appearance on the show, but we’re looking for guest contributions from all corners, and on all gaming subjects - relating to the show or otherwise. If you’re interested in writing something for the site - and no previous writing experience is required - please contact us at bigredpotion@gmail.com. For now, please enjoy some quality Matulef time, and also check Chris ‘Kropotkin’ O’Regan’s views on our two-parter on reviews if you’ll be so kind.

Kropotkin on Review Structure

09.10.2009

Shortly after releasing our two-parter on video game reviews, we were lucky enough to be contacted by Chris O’Regan, maybe better known to most as Kropotkin from the Kropotkin and Hendrix Game Review Show and now of SuperHappyFunTimeShow fame. When we say contacted, what we actually mean to say is ’sent a whopper of an e-mail that got us thinking”. And we felt compelled to share it with you, with Chris’s permission. We’d normally provide Chris with a bio at this point, but we think he did a pretty good job of providing his own in this piece. What we will say is that you should check out some of his further thoughts on the subject in a blog post over at the SHFTS website, as well as checking out the show itself.

SuperHappyFunTimeShow is a popular, longstanding podcast that reviews the gaming week, and one which shares our Transatlantic bent, as well as our aim to talk about gaming in-depth - but that won’t surprise you after reading Chris’s piece on his personal history with game reviews, and review structure. All that’s left to say is thanks to Chris for sharing his thoughts with us, and to remind listeners that we’re always happy to receive feedback about our shows, so please don’t hesitate to e-mail us bigredpotion@gmail.com.
