Hi Lori.
Congrats on a great little review, though I found the buzzing really
distracting unfortunately, so you might want to look in to why that is
happening. Shades of Doom was one of my favourite accessible games back in
the day and I do from time to time still play it. I am an avid gamer
I just listened to your exploration of level 1. At first, I thought that
the game was louder than your voice. There is a buzzing sound, probably
from your PC?, but I didn't find it all that disruptive. So far, this is a
good game review. Thanks for posting it. What program was used to do th

Hi Charles, I used soundtap audio recorder from NCh Software, sadly you have

Lori,
Here is a technique that you can use as a describer for a first
person game. Focus on the character as you, and your doing the
job. Try to enspire the audience to get that "Oh my goodness,
it's me doing this" feeling, not the "You are here doing such and
such". In a game such as Shade
