Anything 51 and up is a recommendation, meaning you aren't wasting your time seeing it. Anything between 51-79 ranges from mediocre to very good. Anything 80+ is what I call a "Great Movie" and it's a must-see and is awesome to various degrees. Anything that's a 50 is something that I'm a fence sitter on (meaning I'm too useless to actually be able to make up my god damn mind) so it could go either way. 49 and under means you should avoid. Under 10 means I was probably raped by the movie or, at the very least, fondled. Despite the effort I've put into explaining my rating system, numbers are fairly often chosen at random (well, maybe my gut feeling) so I might actually like a movie I rated 75 more than an 85, I just really can't be bothered to go back and constantly re-do my ratings.

"I'm not a Fallout fan--for some reason the games don't really do it for me, against all reason. Except New Vegas was pretty good. And sure enough, the creators of that make a "Fallout game" that I love. Good humour, shooting that isn't clunky as shit, music that reminds me of KOTOR, and it isn't filled with nonsense guests that are only there to make the game 200 hours long. You don't always need gigantic worlds and millions of quests."

"I need to go back and keep playing this because my review is probably a little premature, but while I see a lot of good in this, the story hasn't really grabbed me yet. It has fun combat and interesting ideas, I'm just not all in yet. Maybe with more time this will change."

| 45 9% | Wolfenstein: Youngblood (2019) - Nov 05, 2019
"When I first started playing it I was into the co-op action. It still feels good to play, but then after I played it for a while I realized I was just going to the same places, nothing interesting was going on. It's an example of a game that wants to be a little more open but doesn't need to be. So then ultimately I ended up not liking it, so I can't in good faith give it a passing grade. But it's close because there is some good to be found here."

| 85 65% | Borderlands 3 (2019) - Nov 05, 2019
"Borderlands is Borderlands. It still works for me but it's better in some ways (it evolves the series a teeny bit, but it's ultimately still very similar to past entries) but it doesn't have a villain like Handsome Jack, so it's worse in that way. It suffers a little from not being special anymore since we've had so much over the years. That's why I won't rate this a 90 like I rated 1 and 2."

| 80 51% | Untitled Goose Game (2019) - Nov 05, 2019
"I'm a little stuck in the hype that this game got, because I want to see the goose everywhere, but it is undeniably cute with a great premise. I thought that the game would be a little more involved then it is but there's a draw to this regardless."

| 40 6% | Super Kirby Crash (2019) - Nov 05, 2019
"Gets boring really fast. It's an attempt at Kirby Monster Hunter but the loop doesn't do it for me."

| 80 51% | Quantum Break (2016) - Nov 05, 2019
"Thought that the TV/video game combo actually worked, which was something I didn't think I'd say."
|
| 70 29% | Astral Chain (2019) - Nov 05, 2019
"I'm a huge fan of what I call Platinum and I think the action here works. But I wanted to love this more than I did; what prevented me from doing so is the investigations. It was supposed to add depth but they aren't very exciting and seem like an obstacle to getting to the stuff you really want. Even the action, while still good, is not their best. It's a good game, not a great one."
