Editorial Excerpt: "Pokémon now spans four major worlds...don't you think it's time for the game to finally go in the direction that it was no doubt designed?"

Editorial Excerpt: "Most people play games for leisure; they play games because they are fun...but here's the difficult part: what exactly is fun?"

Editorial Excerpt: "My predeliction towards bringing worthy music from RPGs that are unplayed by the majority of readers continues today!"

Editorial Excerpt: "So now I start to think about the difference between RPGs with many playable characters, and games that give you just a few."

Things are looking up today as we begin our first column of editorials' next ten years. We have a full column thanks to staff and senior fan editorialist JuMeSyn. I still have one fan submission in the backlog as well, so we will at least have one for next week. Until then, I hope everyone continues to enjoy this column. We might have some changes in store soon, so keep an eye out.

Today, we have Sound Test's very own Matthew "barieuph" Russo beginning his discussion on a Pokémon MMORPG. That should be an interesting series. Also, for the first time staff preview writer Majed brings us the start of the Player Motivations series. I'm thrilled about all of the multi-part editorials. Staff editorialist Sarah shares her thought on the number of playable characters found in RPGs. Is less more? Finally, marching in step is JuMeSyn with some more music for us to enjoy.

WANT EDITORIALS! Some zombies like brains; I prefer editorial submissions. Call me crazy, but that's what I enjoy. Thanks again for the readership and I look forward to seeing you next time.
