I love this so-called "experienced" reviewers whom think a newbie has no right to criticize them. I love how they defend their writings with the assertion that they are/have been advisors or have written a lot of reviews. Who cares if you wrote a lot of reviews? If your review sucked, I will say it sucked, and it will continue sucking. In addition, I love how "grown-ups" and "mature" adults retaliate my comments by calling me names and swearing at me. Oh boy, and they blame the downfall of society on us younger generations....hmm...Not to say that all people older than me are this way. In fact, they constitute a small portion of the population. But...sigh...

Don't you just hate it when your computer refuses to stop working then your hard drive gets mysteriously erased? Well, it happened to me, and I was planning to write five reviews over this last weekend. Damn...at least it works now.
Plus, I got a job! Well not like you people would care anyways, but I did and I'm happy that I start tomorrow.
Stuff
I'm 20 years old attending Seattle University studying Business Administration with a focus in Marketing. I've spent the last three years in Seattle and have found the city quite enjoyable once you look past the WTO riots, Mardi Gras riots, the Earthquake, and the rain. But seriously, its a really nice city.
Anways, I enjoy everything under the sun except for country music. I partake in the likes of video games and pc games. I have a large interest in Stanley Kubrick, the WWF, and books. (strange combination isn't?)
I try to rate things as fair as I can, but as part of being human, I am biased. I usually acknowledge my bias, but I never apologize for them. I'm pretty strict in my ratings of games but much more lenient in movies. Why? Not sure but I just am.
As for rating reviews, I am very open. But if you write a great rant or rave about something (no matter how great your writing may be) BUT YOU DO NOT FOCUS ON THE SUBJECT, I will give you the NOT HELPFUL EVERYTIME. If you hate a movie, explain at least one specific aspect why you dislike it, and explain it at length a bit. I want to make an informed decision about the actual product. I understand that I will probably do this unfocus rant or rave as well, and if I do give me Not Helpfuls across the board.
I hate reviewers whom feel that they should write a book when writing about something as insignificant as a video game. On the other hand, I have no respect for one to two paragraph reveiews. I love concise, a little personal, and rambling reviews.
One more thing, I hate loyalists (mostly in video games) and fanboys with a passion.
