Site Reviews

These are unsolicited reviews I’ve done of various web sites because I enjoy critiquing them. You can suggest a site for me to review, though I don’t promise to review it.

• Not-Noticeably.net — 2007-04-27
  

  If a site has an overall pleasing layout and structure, then I think focusing on the little details is an important next step. I tend to react better to a site if I can tell the owner has put in a lot of work.

  It wouldn’t be difficult to incorporate a variety of colors, or at least two additional ones (the sunshine and the plane text), and I think it would really spice up the layout. It would help to add interest and make the overall look of the place brighter and, I think, friendlier.

  Catty humor can serve a purpose later on in your site when your visitors already feel comfortable there. If you insert it in the middle of your ‘about me’ page, for example, then the user will most likely come across it after having read a few paragraphs about you.

• American McGee’s Alice — 2007-11-01
  

  5 / 5 stars
  By EA Games for the PC and Mac

  I’m a fan of Alice in Wonderland anyway, so when I read about this game in PC Gamer several years ago, I was excited. American McGee, who used to work…

• Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door — 2007-10-07
  

  3.5 / 5 stars
  By Nintendo for the GameCube

  This is the second game in the Paper Mario series and, while not as good as the first, it’s still an excellent game. It’s very akin to the first Paper…

Company Reviews

We’ve all had bad experiences with a company before. Sometimes restaurants have terrible service and bring us our food late and cold; other times a package that was supposed to get shipped Monday of this week in reality doesn’t get shipped until Friday of next week, things like that. However, some experiences just have to be acknowledged because of how ridiculous and annoying they were for you, and that’s what this section is all about. If you have had a bad experience with a company, be it a restaurant, shipping service, store, auto shop, whatever, please send it to me and I’ll publish it here (credit will be given to you).

  Another day, another lie from FedEx. Eric, Todd[1], Chris, and Bentley are all hanging out at Todd’s right now. Someone has been there all morning. FedEx claims that Todd’s Macbook was attempted to…

  I am so pissed off right now. Todd’s Macbook was supposed to come today, so I agreed to go to his place after I got out of my one class today and wait for it. I got there a little before 11 and just…
