Holy Hell do you see that thing flying overhead?

It's not Superman! It's the point!

More seriously, though, I think it's pretty easy to tell that I am referring to Yahtzee's method of "scoring", which is to say he has none, not his particular narrative style, which is more comedic than critical. He himself has said that the condensation of complex opinions into absolute values is asinine, and he's right. In spit of anything else he does in his reviews, he is right about that.

I've gone over, several times, why less specific scores are better than more specific ones. In this very topic, even.
