No need to worry then, we've got the one person in the gaming press who can give us a completely objective review [http://www.destructoid.com/100-objective-review-final-fantasy-xiii-179178.phtml]!The Wooster said:
Just in case nobody has told you yet, there is indeed a new incarnation of Podtoid, called "The Dismal Jesters". Same people, same topics, just a different, non-Destructoid name.Prismo said:
Not entirely sure why, but I now want a series where Jim reviews a group of things that aren't games(or movies or book ect ect) using this scale. A handful of Pokemon, types of potted plants, perfume, clowns, and so much more. Just think of the possibilities!
i'll swerve that. thanks anyway. as any site can change their style/stand point, and i'm left with a membership i don't use anymore. oh well1Life0Continues said:
I think the forums tanked a long time ago in quality and/or the respect for other people's opinions.
Not that I've seen anything on this thread, but I do find it hilarious that some posters are giving out about the most petty and innocuous things, when they've just been told that 'Hey, the star system (lol space) review scores we always used are staying and look! Jim Sterling is reviews editor!'
Thank GOD for you, Jim, but let's get down to brass tacks, and ask the really important question here.
When can we expect Fantasy Willem Dafoe's first review?
That's the only question worth asking right now.

Welcome aboard.
I was a bit leery of you after Jimquisition 1. But later jimquisitions have become a staple addition to what I learn about what the rest of gaming is doing. You've warmed the cockles of my heart. Especially in the subcockle area.
Really? Where I went to school (Region of Peel, Ontario) you needed at least a 50% to pass a test/exam/course.Cybylt said:I've never heard of 50% being a passing grade, I would assume this is a similar metric.wulf3n said:wait... 2 1/2 stars is below average?
2.5 out of 5?
50%?
The median?
The thing that is supposed to represent average?
... is below average?
Crazy
Everywhere I've gone you've needed at least a 65%.TKretts3 said:Really?

Edit: English and Math were changed in my teens by state mandate to require 70%+ since they considered C- and D+ to be unsatisfactory even if they were labelled as passing. Though that's not particularly relevant.
No... I say you replaced stars... with "better" stars... that just so happened to look "exactly" like the old stars... just under new management...Jimothy Sterling said:
I say that its... something...
Welcome home, Jim... We'd missed you...
