Profile Reviews MarlonBrando

This week, the Buzz is trying something new, profile reviews. It is a new idea we want to try, so we would appreciate your feedback. Bootleggers Moderator Nyxxie and player PlatinumSeal2 are this week's victims.

Nyxxie
Pictures
Nyxxie's main picture is a bright, spring feeling picture. It is a very nice one, she told us, “the main picture is fixed according to the season/my mood.” It adds her own distinctive touch to the profile. As for the three small pictures which are different and unique in their own way, the first is a picture which matches with the main picture, it has the same bright color and cheerful mood. The second is a GIF that shows her name, it is very well done and loads quickly. The third is a CAPTCHA with the letters NYX, a picture she was lucky to get.

Music
There is no music on Nyxxie's profile, a bit disappointing, although she had her reasons. She informed us, “I find music to be irritating enough that I block it from playing on anyone's profile.” So in turn, she does not put music on hers.

Text
There is a little bit of writing on Nyxxie's profile, most of which describes the few rules she has. She said, “As far as my simple rules placed on my profile, it's a direct reflection of the things I have to deal with as a moderator day in and day out.” Although she still thinks nobody heeds attention to these rules. The last bit of text is great, a quote from Winston Churchill which reads, “You have enemies? Good…. That means you have stood up for something, sometime in your life.” So all in all not too much writing, short and sweet you could call it. Although it is a lot better then too much!

Overall
Nyxxie's is very good, colourful and short, doesn’t take long to load and is not sore on the eyes. When asked how Nyxxie would would she rate her profile, she said, “I guess it could use a complete change, it has been the way it has been for a while now, and for that only I'd rate it an 8/10.” We will have to agree, it needs an update and maybe some music? All in all it is still a lovely profile and we gave it a score of 8/10 too. Well done Nyxxie.


PlatinumSeal2
Pictures
PlatinumSeal2‘s pictures, when first viewed, often leave the viewer confused. With seal in his name, one would expect to see… well seals! Don’t get us wrong, for you do see them. However you see a lot of elephants and a geese. When we asked PlatinumSeal2 why there were elephants and geese he told us, “my two favorite animals are geese and elephants, both of which are represented throughout my profile.” The elephant seems to blend well into the profile. As for the three small pictures, he has three different ones. First is the picture to go with his main picture. Second a picture of Yoshi the dinosaur from the Mario games, also his own games too. Third is the crew he is in, it’s a nice little picture. He also does have seals spread through his profile, each picture is very well done in our opinion.

Music
PlatinumSeal2 has no music at the moment, to explain why there is none, he said, “I had music, but both the upload sites that I used have not been working for the past month.” So we hope to hear some tunes on his profile pretty soon.

Writing
There are a few quotes from TV shows, Family Guy for instance, at the bottom of his profile. So if you know what they are have a look, some funny ones are to be found. He also has a few quotes from friends, which are also very amusing. There is a little piece at the end explaining how PlatinumSeal2 likes to do his OCs. Maybe it should be taken into account if you are to do an OC with him?

Overall
PlatinumSeal2 profile is a strange and Humorous place to visit, the confusion of Elephants to the hilarity of his quotes. Once again, we would like to see some music in this profile, it might give his profile a little extra something. For PlatinumSeal2 it is a nice 7/10 from us. Well done!
