Something I've noticed over the past few years is the confusion of video game ratings in regards to reviews. Across many forums and message boards I've noticed that if a game gets less than an 8.0 it's regarded as a bad game and a definite pass if it's a 7.5 or lower. That's not how a 1 - 10 scale works. At all. So that's why I've been using a simplified rating scale for my youtube reviews.

Doo doo game

Ambivalence

Mondo Cool!

Or basically don't like it, you may or may not like it and wow I love it! This scale is in response to the confusion brought on by 1 -10 scales or one of of five items ratings or whatever. How often do you really try to slap a number on a vague concept based on something as intangible as likes and dislikes. Some times you just like something and can't really quantify it. Is that game really an 85%? Or is it an 83%? Who the hell knows?!

If you're going to use a 1 - 10 scale why bother with decimal points? You might as well just use a 1 - 100 scale. I recently heard a podcast that was using a 1 out of 3 scale. They used decimal points so why not just make it 1 out of 30?

I think the simplicity of Like, no strong feelings either way and love it is much easier to relate to. Would you rate your favorite foods out of 100%? Probably not!

That's right the Mondo Cool Cast will be hosted LIVE by Jerry Terrifying at 10pm Eastern Time. You'll wtice there's now a chat room built into the site, head on over there at during the show and hit play on the flash player and join in the awesomeness!

There's a flash player built right into the site, if that's not working for you there are links above the chat room to another flash player or you can stream the broadcast from Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp or Real Player. That should have everyone covered! It's live so ANYTHING can happen!

I recently found a nice looking little theme to use for Mondocool.net.  What do you think?  Looks about a billion times better than the old layout.  Leave me some comments telling me what you think!

So I spent a few hours changing the host for the Mondo Cool Cast. It's been a tedious pain in the ass but after a few hours of pulling my hair out and screaming I've managed to get everything worked out. I've got a free host, unlimited bandwidth, still able to follow my stats and all that sweet stuff.

So the next episode of the MCC will be posted here and sent out through my RSS feed through feedburner and itunes! Sweet shit! I'll be linking to this page when I put up the next video advertising the MCC...which is cool because I'll be able to link to a much sweeter URL. For the most part everything is very neatly organized here on blogger. So anyone that sees this go ahead and use the link at the top of the page to subscribe to my new iTunes feed.

A ps3 Died in Ohio tonight.

Very tragic news. My Playstation 3 died on me tonight. Very sad. I just started watching a Venture Bros DVD and about 30 seconds in the video freezes and the screen goes black. I hit the eject button and get beeping, I hit the power button and more beeping and the power light started beeping. So I turn off the main power, turn it back on and hit the power button, I get a green light, it flashes red then just starts flashing red. If I hit the power button it'll go into standby, if I hit the power button again it starts blinking red again. Lame.

So in the morning I'm going to actually call the support line. If you knew me you'd know how much I hate making phone calls, talking to people makes me uncomfortable.

I may make a video about it documenting the process of shipping it off. I better get my God damn DVD back is all I know. Damn it, damn it, damn it.

Oh also today I registered a domain name for this blog. The name I wanted was taken so I had to use a .net name. Stale! But welcome to Mondocool.net!
