Introduction

So this will be my last review for quite some time, and in an effort to do something at the community's behest, I neglected to realise that adding a "your mom" option is never a sensible idea in a poll - it always wins. I am a man of my word however, and a review of my mum beat out the competition by a mere ten votes, so here we have it. Bad journalism, nonsense, a waste of time, call it what you like, as my last review for the year I wanted to dump something a bit more personal for you to read and chuckle at even if it is at the expense of my dignity. The tale of my mother is a long and entirely preposterous one, but I shall endeavour to do my best to provide a wholly subjective critical write-up. I think I've actually already come to the conclusion that writing a critical piece on a game is far easier than writing what I'm about to embark upon, and perhaps reviewing an old or broken game would have been a little more to my taste. The result shows how hard it is to avoid a subject about your mum.

Absolutely superb! As an amateur writer, who's formal training on the subject began with forced creative compositions on a multitude of projects, I can completely empathize with how difficult this essay/review was to write!

You nailed it, I believe, and if that is to be your last "review" of the year, then you have succeeded in leaving a lasting memory of your writing skills. It's especially hard to write about personal subjects, despite the fact writers should stick to "what they know" when creating.

Thanks for being such a good sport! It was informative and yes, highly entertaining, while still showing a respect for your Mum. :cool:

no dignity can be lost when man respects given word and deliver what was promissed despite how hard it was to be done.
:respect:
nice read. tvm

ps. dont forget to give it to your mom. she will be glad to read it.
 
Well damn, I've never seen anyone review their mum before. That's epic. :cool:

The big question: has she seen it and are you now in the dog house?! :twitch:

Look forward to you coming back to write more reviews soon.
 
HOLY MOLY!!! I didn't expect you'll be doing this XDD awsm write-up man
 
Outstanding! You do have a gift. That's the best review I've read ever.
 
Looking forward to reviewing your review this weekend :)
 
Dude, that is why you are one of my favorite people. What a sense of humour :) What a man :)
 
That's the best review I've read ever.

I don't know whether I should be happy about that or not. It implies a jokey review about my mother was superior to the last 95 reviews I've done since 2014 :laugh:
 
Any giveaways on this game? I wanna try thx :P

At least your leaving at the pinnacle of your game.

way the writer he is. :toast:
 
has she seen it and are you now in the dog house

I'm debating whether that happens or not.

Appreciate it!
 
If you show your mum the review I bet ya $10 she ends up in tears
 
What an amazing review. It feels almost fitting that we give you a burial at sea
 
These were the days before Leonard Nemoy and the UK Labour party decreed that children shouldn't be smacked, the days when real men existed. The simple punishment in our house was a swift and short whipping action across the back of our knuckles.
See this was my fave bit but then Rufus showed up ,lovely read, funny.
 
A fine review and an excellent read.... thank you!

I wonder how many people got the "hidden" joke within the joke here. ;)

Yeah but if I took his Rufus story changed the name to shep and the muffins to roast chicken I was there once, good times.
 
Great read, cheers to your mum!
 
Great work again @RCoon, very nice way to sign off! :respect:

I will miss your reviews. Not only did you bring new games to my horizon, but you also shared much information on the many titles. I've decided for and against based on your reviews, so thank you! :)


And send the collective regards from TPU to your mum! ;) :toast:
 
Ya not sure that was a review. I mean there was only 1 screenshot! And where are the BAR CHARTS??? I mean WTH. You can't have a review without bar charts! And what's up with that conclusion... there was no percentage score? How can we compare your mum with other mums without a percentage score, right? In the beginning of the "review" it looked like she was going to tank and by the end of it I was expecting a Platinum Gold Editor Choice award.

If you show this review to your mum she will probably be glad there was no score but she will smack your hand with a wooden spoon and tell you that's what mums are for, you blithering baboon. Then she tell you to take out the trash. When you turn your back, she'll crack a smile. One day she'll make you baked goods but you won't know why and you won't think its for you because you don't deserve it. :)

Nice one....i really enjoyed that.

"you'd spend the next two weeks getting hammered unintentionally on multi-coloured baked goods"

Can your Mum be persuaded to do a cake giveaway?
