Don't forget that the Station archive only keeps show's up for one week. If you are interested in the Sept 24 Episode, it's best to grab it before 7:00PM when tonight's show airs. We'll be going over:
Future's End
Trademark Infringement
TOO MANY BUNNYGIRLS!
Ctrl-Alt-Reset!
The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
Thanks very much for reviewing Trademark Infringement (2220)! A 4 star and two 4.5-5 stars, awesome. I just wanted to address the lack of Bosses two of you mentioned. Besides the main Boss, their are two other Wannabe bosses. Check your settings they should be set to "Fight Bosses even when Solo" for them to spawn. Again, thanks all, I really enjoyed the show.

Check out one of my most recent arcs:
457506 - A Very Special Episode - An abandoned TV, a missing kid's TV show host and more
416951 - The Ms. Manners Task Force - More wacky villains, Wannabes. things in poor taste
or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
A good point, and something I forgot about during both the run of the arc, and the review. May I ask which ones were supposed to be bosses?

Thanks for the review of Ctrl + Alt + Reset! I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I also really love the choice in music. Much better than that one episode that put itself in the archives from the week before your first show.
Thanks for the review of Future's End. Glad you all liked it. Yes, you were correct, the name Seeker was used in a couple of different places in the arcs, and yes there was a reason for it. I am hoping to answer some of the questions you noticed were not answered in my next arc. No Future Skulls (They were originally supposed to be in one arc, then part of the second. They got pushy. 
) but some familiar winged characters should show up. Unless some other group gets pushy this time. 
I almost forgot. I agree that the last mission really needs a couple of spawn points in the lobby. That is one change I hope they eventually make on that map. It would really had to the immersion.
Justice Blues, Tech/Tank, Inv/SS

Fighting The Future Trilogy
----------------------
Well, it's good to hear that there's going to be more with those guys, as you heard, we really got to enjoy fighting them. I hope you didn't mind us using your arcs as filler when the submissions got scarce.
As far as the music goes, I'm glad you like it, but you should really check out my Saturday show where the music is the focus. I'm really hoping that AT will get to a point where I can fill an entire show without the music, but we're going to need more reviewers, submissions and guest reviewers to get to that point.

When I submit I see an option on whether you use spoilers. How big of spoilers are we talking?
I haven't listened to the show. Yet.
I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
If you have a surprise ending more or less, they won't spoil it even if you mark "spoilers yes" But they seem to be overly sensitive to any storyline specifics including boss names to those I'm guessing marked "spoilers no".
Can you elaborate a bit?
I'm a native english speaker, but according to my girlfriend, I don't seem to actually english half the time.. >.<
I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
M I could probably spell it out better than me. I listened to this most current episode where they reviewed my arc Ctrl + Alt + Reset, which has a bit of a surprise ending which they didn't spoil even though I did mark it to allow spoilers. I'm guessing the others on that episode were marked no spoilers because they seemed to tiptoe around any storyline details at all.
Point me to that specific episode?

Hmm, let's see, 3 people talking about my arcs, saying they are really good and people should play them? No, I don't think I am going to mind that too much. |

As far as spoiler tags go, if you mark no we will do our best to review the arc while revealing as few details as possible. In some cases we won't give out anything more than what can be seen when looking at the Architect window. This is a more difficult review, as we can't give out WHY we we felt the way we did, and we do slip on occasion, but we understand it if the arc itself is supposed to be a bit of a puzzler, or have quite a few surprises to it. However, I will usually warn the listener if there is a timed mission.
If you mark yes, then we can go into greater detail, naming off specific references we noticed, or other details we thought were note worthy. However, we will usually keep major plot points, things that we feel are on the level of the Clockwork or Rikti secret mum. We are essentially trying to entice the listener back into the AE for these arcs, and it is sometimes counterproductive to spell out every detail.
And while I'm talking about the submission form, I would like to ask future submissions if they would enter the number of missions in the arc under "Length", rather than the length given in the Architect window. I understand where the confusion came from, but since the AE defines an arc's length by the size of the file it makes it a less helpful guide for us. A 'medium' arc could be a heavily detailed five mission arc with a lot of clues and text, or it could be a one shot with a lot of customs.
EDIT: For a specific example, let's make up a hypothetical arc. The arc is five missions long, and has several meaningful or humorous references in it. The third mission has a hidden ally that will only appear after clicking a specific glowy, the fourth mission is timed, and right when you think you have the final mission complete, the contact appears in the mission to attack you.
If the submitter of this arc said 'no' to spoilers, we would limit the review to just that is was five missions, made good use of the AE tools available, and had a solid finale. Also, the listener would be warned about the mission four timer. One or two of the references may slip out in conversation, at most.
If the submitter said 'yes' to spoilers, then we would have said all the above, but many of the references would be mentioned. We would also make note of the hidden ally (if the reviewer managed to find said ally). However, we would still not mention the contact's betrayal.

Okay so allowing spoilers will let you focus on certain areas more easily but won't blow the plot wide open? That's good, mine is a mystery of sorts, and the end is a big deal to me.|

I marked my submission as lo spoilers, but with this knowledge, go ahead and include spoilers.

Just got home from work so I haven't had a chance to listen to this weeks show, but THANK YOU for reviewing my arc. I hope you enjoyed it.
(As is I'm currently working on fixing things based on the feedback you left via the MA comment. Hopefully I can make this arc even better.)

I would seriously suggest several of the folks who have submitted arcs to AEntertainment Tonight seriously consider submitting them to the Architect Awards.
