| Level: 43 Editor | Referring to my ability to keep to a schedule, I mean. I make no claims about the humor. Also, I may start updating during Saturday... day all the time from now on, instead of very, very early Saturday morning. Gives me a bigger window of time to edit and submit it. You know, in case I forget to do it 4 goddamn times. Anyway. Saturday section, etc. --- "I'm not perverted! I'm just immensely fascinated!" ~Lisa Yadomaru, Bleach "Speed is... weight.

| Level: 43 Editor | In fairness, at least this one used proper grammar and spelling... most of the time. <_< --- "I'm not perverted!

That's a bonus! ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | In 2007, on the Wii? In fairness to the reviewer, if the game is viewed with respect to all other games available at the time of the review as opposed to viewing it with respect to its era and platform, judgments like this are fine. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu |

| Level: 43 Editor | In fairness to the reviewer, if the game is viewed with respect to all other games available at the time of the review as opposed to viewing it with respect to its era and platform, judgments like this are fine. Yeah but that would also mean that 360 and PS3 games automatically get higher scores than Wii games, which automatically get higher scores than PSP games, which automatically get higher scores than DS games, and retro games are just screwed. The whole thing basically becomes a technical specs pissing battle. It also means that a score can fluctuate depending on when the game is reviewed. Review MP3's graphics in 2007 and give them... say... an 8. Review it in 2008 and maybe a 7? A 6 in 2009? A 5 in 2010? And when the next consoles are released, it's just SoL. Despite being the exact same game this whole time. Reviews become outdated practically as soon as they're written. I mean, you're right, and a lot of reviewers - even professional reviewers - do it like that, but I really can't support it. --- "I'm not perverted!
