    During my feedback stuff, I made a little mistake. I meant second person or third person not just third person. Second person somehow didn't occur to me until a little later. Sorry for the confusion.

    TO Guides - Hammer

    Nice second guide! It was definitely better than your first one (and far fewer spoilers to click on). One of the plus sides of this piece is that it is not a wall of text (like mine lol). However, I felt like there were some places which could be improved. I agree with kaisdf and conq on many of the points they made, you probably want to check out some previous guides before coming up with your own. That's how I started (like kinda formally - like in most of the articles recommended above as well as my own (#shamelessadvert): Challenges Conquered). Reading those, you'll be able to find out the general structure of a guide: generally a lead in followed by the advice (probably want to expand a bit on that and add some more advanced tips) and a bit of recap (which I had failed to include in my article that time) and a closing. Otherwise, it feels rather impersonal like as if Google was talking to me about playing with Hammer as a turret. A more defined intro and outro (like a transition from the guide-y parts to 'leave your comments below') would work wonders and make the piece feel more professional. Additional note about proofreading - I think it would be a good idea to get someone else to take a look at your piece, not just Grammarly. Grammarly corrects surface errors, like missing commas and spelling errors, but it does not do as well a job at detail work like text structure and tone - it can't tell a TO guide from a cruise company's brochure. I'd recommend letting a second pair of eyes look at it, and if you want, you can send some of your work to me and I'll be more than happy to take a look. As always, keep up the good work. I hope you take your fellow writers' advice and make a phenomenal Gauss guide.

    RIDDLER_8: Re-interviewed!

    Nice work! I enjoyed the interview., felt like it had better flow than mine lol, but I think you could have changed the color of the font of either yours or Riddler's text to differentiate it better. There were some minor formatting issues, but overall the piece was excellent. or me or me :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: Good luck with the application process! I will not be playing much, so you're right about me not reaching the rank. However, I doubt that there will be competition (hopefully not, that would be terrible!) on the road to reporterhood. If there is, that's another thing to add to my funny life stories.

    Weird hobbies

    i guess this isn't quite a hobby but more of a quirk but anyways when i have a picture in my room or somewhere else of someone that i know i think they are watching me so if i'm doing something dumb like tripping over a piece of wood or something i think that they see me tripping over that piece of wood.

    Drown

    Woah... that was great. Words cannot describe how I feel. I have been struggling with my mental health for the past two and some years, and this just basically wrote out what I was thinking. All my friends were gone and the only person I could have depended upon just kept calling me too negative. Thanks for saying what I couldn't ever write. I was also reminded of 1-800-273-8255 by Logic (great song, I memorized it in a week).

    TO Guides - Shaft

    Hrmmm, grading scale looks very familiar *wink wink*. Yeah, I agree the spoilers are highly bothersome. Also, it could do with a touch of color, and maybe the descriptions could be lengthened in some cases. It felt a little brief in my opinion. Overall though, great work with the guide, might go ad try playing with shaft.

    T.O. Rap Parody

    Niceeee, I like the song and the parody is just as good, if not better. However, maybe you could put the original lyrics in a spoiler so readers can reference it easily and differentiate between the two sets of lyrics.

    It's Time To Excel In: Chernobyl

    Well, reading through this topic was a real workout compared to SAT reading *wink wink*. (Oop, I was supposed to be studying but my discipline didn't quite hold up as expected). :P Thought you had some great stuff there, lots of excellent description and high quality advice for readers. It was rather lengthy, as I had mentioned earlier, but I enjoyed the mix of story and guide. However, I'd maybe consider splitting it up because while it's entertaining, I would rather have a separate guide for the map and another for the story and personal experiences expressed in a map review or something of the sorts. Another suggestion I have here is to combine the gamemode info with the preferred loadout to make it easier for readers to access one at a time, however, you can also keep it the way it was originally formatted, it's up to you. As others have suggested, I'd also recommend adding more images (you're free to use any of my imgur links, just DM me if you need a specific one), like when you say DM, Shaft, Hornet, for instance, it would also be great to add the corresponding image. Usually, that will make it easier to inform readers quickly of where you are. Another thing I'd recommend fixing is the point of view. You have a fresh new first-person POV, and I actually really enjoy that. However, most of the time, guides would work more effectively as third-person (for the sake of being more objective and making the article a little bit more focused). Though keep the image commentary, it's what I can't get enough of. :) Adding on to what @Viking4s said, I would also highly suggest using the imgx command to size images to their desired sizes. (One thing to watch out for: sometimes the size becomes a little not what you wanted, so make sure to try out various pixel measurements before you get the perfect resolution that fits just right) Ahh, time to end my own little text wall. It's time to study, and the SAT is waiting to eat me up in my nightmares. Great article, I can't wait for the next!
