Something I've noticed over the past few years is the confusion of video game ratings in regards to reviews. Across many forums and message boards I've noticed that if a game gets less than an 8.0 it's regarded as a bad game and a definite pass if it's a 7.5 or lower. That's not how a 1 - 10 scale works. At all. So that's why I've been using a simplified rating scale for my youtube reviews.

Or basically don't like it, you may or may not like it and wow I love it! This scale is in response to the confusion brought on by 1 -10 scales [.....]
Gaming is an interesting hobby. There are many facets of gaming that draw people in. Enjoying the games themselves, competing with friends, playing online or with friends in person or simply collecting games that you love or trying to complete a collection.
Like most gamers I don't fall into just one category. I get a lot of enjoyment looking for games at garage sales, thrift shops, game shops and anywhere else a deal might be found. I wouldn't call myself a collector as I think of collectors as the people that have unopened games that just fill shelves and look amazing but fail to fulfil their true purpose. I do still get something out of looking at my collection [.....]
As you may well be aware of I'm a fan of something called video games. What you might not be able to tell is that I'm a fan of the hilariously genius comedy magic duo Penn and Teller. So when I found out about their Sega CD game Smoke and Mirrors I had to know more and I had to play it. The game was never actually released but there were review copies sent out to gaming publications of the time. It's from these review copies that the game was leaked to the internet.
Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors is a collection of mini games for the Sega CD. There's a side scrolling adventure game, a [.....]
I've always had a fascination with online play on a home console. I didn't really have access to the internet until 1999. My father had a PC and an internet connection as early as 1995 but for some insane reason he wouldn't let me anywhere near his PC. So the internet remained mysterious and elusive until I got my grubby mitts on a PC of my own and started paying for internet access in late 1999. Because of this the idea of accessing the internet on the Sega Dreamcast without having to buy a PC always appealed to me and seemed like a good alternative. See I have this glitch in my brain that won't let me play [.....]
Christmas 1998 my idea of video games changed. I had to stop and rethink video games as a medium of entertainment. It was the day after Christmas and my friend from across the street Michael had come over to ask me a very important question. It had been a long time since I really hung out with Michael so it was a little odd that he came over at all but his mission was important. The first thing he asked me was "Did you get Metal Gear Solid?!" [.....]
I remember the first time I ever read about Ad Hoc Party thinking about how useful and cool it would be. A free app on the Playstation Network that lets you play Ad Hoc only games with your friends over the PSN. Being a brilliant idea and extremely useful it naturally didn't come out in America until a year after the Japanese release.
