Review guidelines, version: the first.

So it's taken me quite a while to come up with a concrete review flow or style to use when I begin posting game reviews, but I don't want to wait too long in between posts. So I've decided to just roll with it and see what happens.

As a result, my review format for my first go 'round will follow a pretty freeform style, at least as far as text. My main guidelines will be to touch on the things that matter most to me in a game, then rate them on a scale of 1-10, using ".5"s as in betweens should I not be quite sure about a full numerical score.

The items I intend to touch on are:

• First Impression
• Overall Presentation
• Accessibility
• Graphics
• Sound
• Controls
• Difficulty
• Replayability
• Story  

           and

• Fun Factor (As inspired by the late, great GamePro) 

After compiling those together, the total scores will combine together to form the final score (0 being the worst, 100 being the best.)

That's what I got for now. With that out of the way, my next post will be the actual review. Yup.

Fuck UMvC3. And other stuff.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3? Yeah, fuck that game. Not because it's bad or anything, or for any logical reason. I enjoy the game with gusto, and despite my anger, keep jumping back in. It's solely because I'm tired of practicing and practicing for hours, only to go online, get my ego up by fighting a few people with a similar record to mine (Which is W35/L61 or something like that at the moment), then being flattened by a positive plethora of people who just thoroughly outclass me.

Yes. I'm whining my ass off. I sincerely wish I was better at the game. But it'll happen eventually.

Practice makes perfect after all.

But on a different subject, I've decided on game review first. So that'll be up soon! Possibly tonight/tomorrow if I'm feeling particularly brave/motivated. Never put up a game review before, so I'm kind of nervous. I'm hoping it'll at least be kind of entertaining...

Excitement!

Top 10 lists? And other stuff.

So I've been trying to figure out what topic/subject/activity I should kick my oh so stunning blog off with. I've narrowed it down to two choices; A top 10 list, though I'm not quite sure what the list is going to be about, or a few video game reviews, considering the plethora of games that have come out over the past month worth talking about.

But until I've decided what I'll actually be doing, I'll just post random stuff, I guess.

SO!


Here's a link to my U-TOOB channel! Yep, that's what I'm posting today. That channel consists of AMVs at the moment, but I intend to add more shit at some point in the future.

Yep. That's about it.

A blog about stuff...

So, I was sitting in my living room, looking back and forth between Youtube (henceforth referred to as "The U-TOOB!". Exclamation point and caps optional.) and various video game reviews, and it occurred to me that putting my opinion out on the interwebz may be a fun, if not entirely brilliant idea. So, I decided to make a blog. The creation of the blog was all kinds of easy... The problem came when I realized that I have absolutely no idea what the hell to talk about... So, the best idea I could come up with was a blog about random stuff. Whatever comes to mind, whatever ideas I may have to throw around on the 'net, I'll post here.

Yep.
