It may also have been in reference to getting timed out during long posts too.

Oh good. I was thinking "if Scotland is being warned about formatting or grammar, there's not much hope for any of the rest of us." I was pretty sure you and another few people here had writing a couple standard deviations above the internet average, and that the board as a whole was well above average.

I'm not much of an Odyssey 2 fan at all, and I don't recall ever playing any of these games on mine, but I had to chime in anyways to let you know that these are some stellar reviews, Critic.  Hilarious and great descriptions of the game.  Especially Monkeyshines, which might be one of your best ever, and Take the Money and Run is great too.  If you've started juicing recently, keep it up.

I appreciate the accolades!   I have to admit this latest set of Odyssey 2 review is among my best.

It's a lot easier to interject humor with the older games.  The gameplay is relatively simple so I can dedicate a good part of the review to irreverent remarks.  With modern games I've trying to squeeze so much information into a paragraph, it's hard to convey much humor.  Usually I'm more concerned with paring down the original "wall of text" I write.

The good news is, I plan on re-reviewing a lot of the old Odyssey 2 games.

The O2 is a system I've never been into until recently, although I do recall seeing them in the department store as a kid.
Although some of the early games are rather crude and simplistic, there are some real gems in its library: the two KC games, Turtles (I actually played the Stern arcade machine once when I was young), UFO!, the Parker games, etc.
