On a recent car trip I realized that I consume an amazing amount of movies/tv/games. So much that I get them confused. In hopes of getting them straight in my head, and partly also because my friend Roy is doing such a great job at it, I'm going to start jotting little reviews. Hopefully if someone has some valuable time to spend on entertainment these little reviews can help him/her choose the appropriate poison.
After deciding on what I want to do, it becomes necessary to choose an appropriate rating system. A 100-point system runs the risk of being compared to a standard grading scale where bad-decent-excellent can really be expressed within the 50-100 point range. Dropping that idea quickly, next is the 5 and 10 point systems. A 10 point system is very similar to the 100 point system. Even with half-point increments, there appear to be too many levels that it would take an insane amount of time for me to properly assign a value to something. However, a scale of 10 integer values seem too strict. It's a close call, but I will go with a 5 point system with half-point increments. This is similar to the 10 point integer-only scale, except due to the smaller values, it feels more comfortable. In addition, the maximum value in a 5 point system is not closed for use as would be the case in a 10 or 100-point system, where the highest value is reserved "something better that might come along sometime in the future".
