Nice to see you reviewing again Moosh , And great review I enjoyed reading it.
Honestly I never played the game before, I'm kinda glad that I didn't >_>.

I never seen that quest before but I have to say, it does look alright to me. I might want to try that out one day.

Hey dude, while i appreciate the honesty for my quest review, I still urge you guys to try it for yourself. You aren't meant to do anything in any order and will mosst likely not have certain items to run through everything smoothly. That being said, I made it nearly impossible to powergame through this quest and get all the items in a correct order. This is for explorers out there. If you do play it, look around a bit and determine what you can do. The 'mine' area is kind of a level one, but you can get a lot of hearts and items before going there (never the candle).

It seems like it was too confusing to get through without the cheats enabled, but once you know where certain areas are, you can get there several ways. I'm at least glad that Moosh liked the forest dungeon. There are a few extra final areas that are fun as well, including a house party and flaming wasteland that Moosh did not discover.

The quest isn't passworded, so if you really get lost, just look at it and see what's around. Sure there are layering errors and bad palette mismatches for sprites, but those are just decorations. I bet you can get the silver arrows before the whistle. Once you get the wand from the clouds, you can use it to warp at the great fairy statues to a new place. It's fun I swear, don't lose hope at the beginning. I learned a lot as I was making the quest and it ramps up near the end.

Is this some joke I'm not in on?
Why have all the ratings been changed to 5/5? Why has the truth been compromised for political correctness? What's going on?

[Evan20000]

The real ratings are still there. He changed all the scores to 5/5 as a joke.

I very much want this thread to get into a rhythm.

Yeah it was an old joke and I've been too lazy to change it.

damn, back to 1/5 I had almost forgotten

Wow, CastChaos's quests are really hit or miss, eh?

Zelda's Butt. Review it now.

I'm glad that this joke is over and done with. I stopped reading your reviews, which were great (with the exception of the last one), from the moment you made the joke.

In my opinion, the BB series is overrated. You get things like naked little girls, random secret triggers like burning a random chicken to make a fence disappear and all of the horrible MM and FF crossovers among other things in BoaB. Worst of all, these were largely ignored (the only thing out of these that CC even appeared to attempt to address properly in the later games was the various naked girls), with him stubbornly refusing to do anything.

That's what happens when one does not accept criticism. He thinks we are all rebelling against him while in reality we're just helping him out. CC doesn't know the definition of constructive criticism and he has to hide behind the people who support him. I think he's been overly pampered and spoiled that this needs to be said. I guess we are all "standard enforcers" from his point of view.

What I don't like about Castchaos's work in my opinion is just the wackiness of it. But nevertheless he does have fans, but it would be cool of him to try to expand the audience if ever so little. I always see potential in his work but I find the execution in need for some improvement.

Also, I plan to review a quest soon. No promises though.

[Moosh]

Guys, can we stop attacking CastChaos in this thread? That review isn't even recent. I'd prefer if we respect the creators of the quests reviewed here.

And for the record I'm saying this as the creator of the review thread, not as an attempt to rent-a-mod.

Do Molka.

You said you "still need to play it" when we mic'd on Skype the other day. Just an idea.

EDIT: And keep it the real deal too. If the quest deserves a low score then give it one-- that's what friends are for.

This is not Poke's not so random review #5 however this is Shane's review #1: EA: Leisure Stroll
By CastChaos

Strengths:

• Nice forest(?) area
• Good design for most of the overworld
• No naked NPCs (as far as I'm aware)
• No Mega Man graphics

Weaknesses:

• Bad desert(?) area
• Bad design in some screens
• Lack of non-Z1 music

Personally CastChaos improved in screen design (in *some* areas) somewhat, but still, just not my cup of tea especially not design-wise.

Rating: 1/5

Honestly I feel this is one of the best quests I've ever played so I would have to definitely disagree with your rating. I will say you can get very easily confused, if you don't have a lot of experience playing these quests....but I had a lot of fun with this.
