I’m one of the few players who don’t like really long mod. I lose interest too easily. I like something I can play within one or two sitting, say 3 hours maximum.

I understand why players like mods and if I didn’t run all my websites then maybe it would be different for me.

This is the second in a short series of polls related to reviewing mods. Last week I asked How many times do you play a mod before reviewing it?, this week it’s about the delay between playing and writing.

This is the first in a shorts series of polls about how we review maps and mods.

Most of you know that I almost never replay maps and mods and I got to wondering about how that affected my reviews.

By the time you read this it may be 2011. 2010 is just a memory, so when you look back on 2010 modwise, was it good?

For those that need a little help, please visit my Modwall 2010 to see all the mods published on this site. Of course, there were other SP mods released that weren’t covered here but it gives you are good idea of what is around.

Last weekend I posted Joutomaa Redux, which featured a custom G-Man voice and today I beta tested a great new mod, that features a custom Barney voice.

Both mods got me thinking whether it was acceptable for mod makers to change the voice of established characters.

Later this weekend, I’ll be posting a pretty cool First Seen on PP mod, which features an intro sequence, that “got me in the mod”.

The technical term for this is Speed Running and some people take it to extreme, like this Portal Done Pro. Less than 9 minutes 30 seconds for the WHOLE Portal game!!!

Now, as I say that’s an extreme and it uses exploits and holes in the map, but the concept is still the same as mere mortals like you and me, when we try and get through a map as quickly as possible.
