I used the name Shedao Shai because I was bored of writing the same old reviews, with the same old structure. As a result I decided to think up a new way to review a game. I remembered reading about Shedao Shai and his hate of machines, and decided it would be fun to review a game, pretending to be him. Though the character would never do such a thing, it was possible to make the story believable in a sort of Sci-fi way.
The whole review was based around the idea that the Yuuzhan Vong could use the game to train themselves, even though they hate technology. It was a crazy idea, but I very much enjoyed thinking up ideas to put in it. The bit that was quoted by SR about music was one of my favourite parts.
After writing the review, the name had made an impression on me, and I thought it would be nice to continue with it. I am sorry to those who thought I was messing around and playing guessing games with people, it wasn`t intended to be a joke.
I will stay as both Shedao Shai and ssxpro. I like both names, and will use them in a similar way to Grix uses two names. (Obviously not as parts of one body, but you know what I mean).
Again, sorry, but the review wouldn`t have had the same effect if written by ssxpro.
Military Intelligence is a good example of an oxymoron, and my favourite has to be Microsoft Works... :)

> What the Gameaday prize win means to me:
It means that someone at SR randomly picked my stuff, which makes me feel chuffed.
It means I don't have to spend £30 on a Dreamcast, or £40 on a PC that day.
It means that I have to go BACK to SR's site and try to justify my win.
It means I'm addicted to forums, and that I can't really remember what my wife is actually like anymore.
It means I've got a nice jiffy bag to kill things with.
It means that I get to read lots of other peoples' rubbish about topics I couldn`t care less about, and therefore my own opinions of them develop too.
It means that one day someone may actually convert me into a PS2.
It means that I am now type a , which is a lot faster than I used to be.
It means that I usually get singed by at least one Nintendo fool per day.
It means that I have to put up with damospud.
Fat.
