FAQ: How Does Your Rating System Work?


Heres the deal. When I first thought of this site, I was originally going to do it Out Of 10. For example, something cool would get a 9 or 10 out of ten. Something fucktarded would get a 0 or 1 out of 10. I'm not sure I needed to explain to you how an Out Of 10 rating system works, but I figured I might as well.

ANYWAY, I was then toying with the idea of doing it like Rotten Tomatoes, with a 0% to 100% rating system. Things above 60% would be labeled 'Totally Awesome' and anything under 60% would be 'Absolutely Retarded.' But that felt like too much of a rip-off.

So, I figured since these reviews were totally random and based on whatever personal emotion or whim I was feeling at the time of their creation, there is no need to attach it to a standard or scientific constant. So the rating system will change all the time.

FOR THE MOST PART, the ratings will be based on how much of any emotion the thing I'm reviewing fills me with. For example, The Future's rating (*SPOILER ALERT*) is going to be "Fills Me With 91% Cautious Optimism + 22% Mild Anticipation for a Mad Max-ian wasteland apocalypse."

Don't Expect Consistency with my Rating System.

Thank you,
