“Jim, Jim, what were you thinking? It’s like Elvis joining the Monkees. Stay solo, Jim, and keep your integrity.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nfrom N64 Magazine issue 9 (December 1997)<\/p>\n

For all my immature cracks about gaming journalism, I don’t really follow it much. Heck, a majority of the things I’ve joked about I’ve never experienced. I once made a Random Action Hour update with a Gurren Lagann<\/i> reference (in, what, 2008?), and I only watched a bit of it last year. I wasn’t that fussed on it!<\/p>\n

I think what I was trying to say was scores and percentages are a funny ol’ business. Haven’t gaming reviewers claimed that comically low scores devalue the purpose of scores in the first place? N64 Magazine clearly gave no damns about scores, what with Clay Fighter 63\u00e2\u2026\u201c<\/span><\/i>‘s score of 24%. That means it’s nearly three times better than Mortal Kombat Mythologies<\/i>! If you did not<\/b><\/i> experience nearly three times the enjoyment out of this compared to Mythologies<\/i>, then I believe you’re entitled to whine to the magazine and suggest they make it 24.8%.<\/p>\n

(… has anyone even read<\/b> that controversial 8.8 Twilight Princess<\/i> review? I can’t say I have, but Jesus, people, it’s a fucking number)
