I wanted to try my hand at something with a tone different from what you all are doing,* so I did. Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to put that in iambic pentameter.

Let the pursuit of the stars once again reign supreme,
exercise the potential capacity and stop idle hands from furthering the devil's cause.
Endeavor with vigor; let the same vigor blaze through and provide the energy to cremate fault.
Fight brazenly when the time to fight comes, but until such time employ control as the better excersize of strength and power.
Sanction skill, but scorn the use of persistence and guile as substitutes,
construct, grow, and apply, rather than allow, use, or lax;
distinguish the illusion and the reality.
Sear the fools with true intensity; hunt the false with vehemence until incinerated,
slash and strike and scorch and char,
channel the energy which comes from the harsh, fiery core of truth and unleash it so that the veracious may regrow like the forest after a wildfire,
rejuvenated with a youthful energy from the ashes of the old.
Have heart and burn.


*what "you all are doing" in my opinion, of course.



None.

Stuff in red is awkward, in my opinion.

This section was great though. It flowed fairly well, and conveyed a sense of a raging, cleansing flame.

Overall, good job, but first part especially comes across more as a lecture, sort of stated as 'this is what to do, go do it.'



Red classic.

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
