This guy agrees with me. Saw it on a game reviewing site: "I was chatting to an old friend who works in the games industry at a wedding recently and we were talking about our shared dismay at the way reviews were perceived by readers. He pointed out that when he started (late-2000s) if you got a round of 7 out of 10 reviews (3 out of 5 stars) and positive feedback from the reviewers, that was seen as a triumph. But now, no matter what the reviews actually say, 3s and 7s are almost the new basement and now anything below a 9 is regarded as a complete travesty (and a failure at his work place). The conversation came up because I was talking about how often people tell me to "go kill myself" or tell me that I "hated" a album when - after a multi-hundred or even thousand word review - I gave it a 6 or a 7. The words could be glowing and the 7 might be followed by the word "Good" or "Very Good", but readers reacted like I was saying their album was the worst. It frustrates us both. We also had a nice chat about how Games are in a weird position - fans and developers seem to want to be treated like art and given proper art style reviews, but at the same time many want them to be reviewed strictly as a product (like a desk lamp) or from an inside the tent perspective (if you already like this and accept this, this and this, ignore this, then it's good). Anyway, The reaction to this Tomb Raider review and yesterday's Fallout Review reminded me of my discussion."
Silly Ontario.

UGH
Meanwhile, in Nebraska.
Well, I didn't know they were planning on this, and now it's going to be hard to find. However, Pepsi released this. It's their futuristic Pepsi bottle from Back to the Future II in celebration of it being 21/Oct/2015. If one of these becomes available for my birthday, I would be ticked to get it.
Interesting!
I might have actually found a beer you like. I guess it's probably not actually a beer, not sure.
He just wanted to share! Snake buddy likes grape.
