Wandering Reviews

Wow, this is so strange and kind of flattering. Try typing your Dooyoo/Ciao/whatever username into google and seeing where some of your reviews have ended up, you might be surprised.

I've been writing on Dooyoo for a few years now, and it turns out some of my reviews have ended up on peoples' personal websites, MySpaces, and fan sites for obscure TV shows (all credited to my username and to dooyoo.co.uk). Because the kind of people who like the kind of things I write about are the kind of people who would do this, i.e. loveable nerds.

One of my music reviews has even been translated into Polish!

Only found one of mine. A Philippino guy had added my The Good, the Bad and the Ugly review on some Morricone tribute page. It wasn't translated, though, which is probably for the best.

Coincidentally, the review in question was of Poledouris' 'Conan the Barbarian' score on some Polish Conan fan site. The MySpace was for my review of an obscure video game from about 1991, the user claiming to be the game's title character and featuring my review as an outline of what his tasks were (mainly collecting coins and breaking blocks with a yo-yo).

I actually quite like it when someone has plagarised my reviews and posted them elsewhere. Found a few of mine on epinions a while back.

My username's too common to actually yield any results.
