One thing on the review scores not matching the discourse:

I don't review games, but I imagine alot of it has to do with recognizing that a game is not total garbage, but still finding it personally boring. Just about any talk about of first person shooter on the podcast will be 30 minutes of saying why its "boring me to tears", and then ending with "but hey its still a competent shooter". Expect a 3-4 star review.

The general negativity and misinformation I agree is a problem.

Glad to hear people say this. Thought I was the only one

Nuketown was so annoying on PC. I can understand playing it once in awhile, but like half or more of the servers at a certain point were devoted 24/7 nuketown servers.

Just dumb

Something different from fallout 3 and NV. I love those games, but I feel like I've had enough of that type of game.

Wouldn't mind trying a more modern isometric take, seeing as I never really got into 1 or 2.

Dragon Age 2 by a long shot.

That game broke my heart. I wanted to love it so bad :(

Yes :(

As for suggestions to "fix them", all I can ask of the staff is:

-Play them for more than 15 minutes before hand if you are going to make blanket, matter-of-fact statements about the quality or intentions of the game. This is something that Patrick does alot, and it is DRIVING ME CRAZY.

-This year has seemed especially cynical. I think one of the reasons people like Vinny is that he is generally positive. I come to this website because, and this may surprise you seeing as I am writing a post on a message board, I am excited about games. I understand the job of reviewing games can put you off of them as a whole, but I would wager that not too many people would give a shit if you just abandoned literally reviewing games. Alot of people don't come to the site just to read reviews. I would be much more interested, and am, in nearly any other piece of content you could write on a game than an analysis of why it is good or whatever.

A switch statement is basically just another, cleaner way of doing if/else if, when you have a decent number of things to check.

If you guys haven't learned switch statements, or arrays, and your professor wants you to do this without an if statement, then its probably a python specific thing (and I'm not at all familiar with python, sorry :( ).

edit: A quick google search shows that python doesn't exactly have switch statements, but you do have dictionaries. Have you learned about those? In this case its alot like using the array method Ubersmake suggested.

Some of those comments are like looking into a different world. People attacking other people because this person said that there are alot of 8 star reviews but oh ho, is actually averaging 9's you dickface, but look here sonny there are over 19 reviews with an 8 and...

And then I realize I am reading these comments because I clicked on a thread about a review score

What am I becoming
