Profile Reviews PoisonBullet

Spider pig, spider pig... does whatever a spider pig does. What? Have you ever tried to come up with an original way of enticing readers into what is basically the exact same article each week? I thought not! I’m back with more profile reviews, enjoy!

Looking through the profiles of some people this week would have sent my friend Matt Groaning (get it?), hideously blank profiles and images that look like they were drawn by my little sister.. If she had no hands. But do not fear; all is not lost!

The profile reviewed this week was suggested by someone in response to my lazy cry for help in finding profiles to review! Was this a show of bravery or stupidity? Or a bit of both, we will see.
Remember that you can suggest profiles to me, be they good, bad or ugly (preferably not ugly)!Just bootmail me with the name of the profile you would like to be reviewed and include a few comments of your own. You could find yourself (and the mate you stitched up) in the next weeks Buzz!

I look forward to hearing from you, and enjoy the review!




Name: Leximus

Images:Three different 300 x 300 images, a full profile picture with the correct background colour, for the profile nerd I am slowly becoming this couldn’t be far away from image perfection on the face of things! Delving a little deeper into the images themselves we see a few stating Leximus’ perhaps most well known name, ‘Pjutter’, as well as a number of varying slogans such as my particular favourite ‘We’re all lost in space but known on earth’... gets the cogs whirring in my brain. A crew picture too, and it’s nice to see players showing loyalty to their crews, a trait which I think is slowly becoming undervalued in Bootleggers' society.
Images score:
Well made pictures that run a consistent theme throughout Leximus’ profile, my only criticism would be his final 300 x 300 doesn’t seem to fit.... the blue seems wrong. But this is just personal preference and it’s not enough to dock a barrel. A well deserved five out of five.

Music: Again none. Please comment to let me know whether you think this is worth keeping as a category at all, as well as any suggestions for other categories!
Music score:
F***ing music, the bane of my life this stuff is.


Text: Very little indeed, with the exception of that within the images (which I would be pushing it to count). We see a status, the ever more fashionable trend on Bootleggers profiles especially amongst staff. Leximus’ is currently ‘You never shine if you never glow’, again perhaps a little too profound for my brain to comprehend... I’ll leave it to you to mull over.
Text score: Image: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/54a3f56700.gifImage: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/54a3f56700.gifImage: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/2ae11a2b25.gifImage: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/2ae11a2b25.gif
Three out of five purely for the lack of text. Overall I think this adds to the edginess of the profile, but as an individual part of the profile three seems a fair score.


Overall: A smart, professional, slick and well made profile that gives a lasting impression. The personal highlight for me being the main image, for the more philosophical among you the profound words may be more up your street, but for me and my simpleton friends (the Buzz team) we’ll just keep looking at the pretty pictures. Something for everyone.
