I'd like to continue, but first I was busy, then jchastain was busy, then I was busy, etc. I'm as curious as you are to see the outcome.
It's true that bios have been taking up a lot of my time, but most of it has been spent trying to replace my Toyota after someone who was speeding on any icy curve plowed into it while it was parked in Eric's driveway.
That reminds me of two years ago, on Martin Luther King Day, when some guy ran a red light at an intersection and clipped my front end as I try to avoid the collision. The impact tore the front passenger side of my Miata to bits. When I exited my car after the crash, the old gentleman was appolegetic, saying that it was his fault, being preoccupied with cleaning his windshield on the snowy afternoon.
But when the cops came and began to take statements, he suddenly began to imply that the accident was my fault. I was about to plant another age mark on the elderly gentleman's face, when the policeman stepped in. After some discussion, it was finally determined that he ran the light, plowing into me.
After all this it took me nearly a year to get all the insurrance straight, and I still had to pay, out of pocket, for the fee of the rental I had to get.
Anyhow, I can understand those who are actually in the process of working on the game not finishing an AAR. But the casual player should end what he began. All this is of course nothing new: of all the AARs ever started, I'll wager that 70% of them are never finished, which is a shame. Going too fast too quickly results in dropping out before the finish line is reached, is my take on all this.
Maybe once the patch is out we'll get some new AARs. I enjoyed the ones here with supreme satisfaction and glee. I don't know about anyone else, but I learn fastest when I go through a lot of AARs. They are like extended tutorials, enjoyable to read and highly instructive.
