Not too bad for a bunch of retards. If we keep this up we might actually get promoted, which would be really, really funny.

Not every publicaton carries the same gravitas. For example, the Official Playstation magazine is weighted downwards because they have a tendency to over rate games on their system because they're biased.

If every publication was just given an equal footing it would not give a fair representation because metacritic tries to accomodate exterior permutations. It is trying to take something subjective and create an objective result based upon collective reasoning.

It's not perfect, no one's saying that, but it is by far the best method to gauge the quality of a game. If they didn't think weighting was necessary, trust me, they wouldn't do it because the process of aggregating scores suddenly becomes something a seven year old can do with a calculator.

And with the latest injury, which will leave Theron out for four weeks, that's now the sixth time this season he has become injured. Brilliant.

You'll be back, whether it's to tell us how we're uneducated, how a universally acclaimed piece of art is dull and lacking in creativity, or simply to just wonder if people still talk about you. You'll be back because we're all you've got.

I only signed three players during the transfer window, mainly because the only people we could afford, i.e. free, are mostly different shades of shit. That isn't a racist term, I mean they're horrible at football and should have their legs removed. Here are the ones who do a good job of pretending they're not shit.

I don't expect much from these morons, but at least they can plug the round holes with their square shaped bodies and I can hope for the best.

Ten games into the seaosn and we're doing pretty poorly. It doesn't help that in the three months we've been going Brandon Theron has been injured four times so I'm having to rely on some guy called Feliz Belie and that old fuck I bought last year called Ndela who my coaches keep telling me is past it. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season, I'l probably be sacked soon.

tbf to KM, this time he may have a legit point. It wouldn't be unthinkable that metacritic may 'cook the books' to make a score higher.

I don't really see how that benefits them, unless someone was paying them to do it, which in turn would destroy the credibility of the site if discovered.

The weighting just places greater importance on websites with certain scoring styles and on more renowned publications.

What the fuck is up with Ethan Hawke doing all these godawful horror films these days.

That one about him being a non-fiction writer who goes to live in the house where murders take place is fucking outstanding for the first half. I think it's called Slither. Anyway, the first half of it with all the old school Super 8 footage is fucking gripping, whoever did the sound on that film should give themselves a pat on the back. Shame the ending is shit, but you can't win them all.

Very immature response, as expected.
Absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Andto answer your question (which in fact reminds me what a 14 year old would ask): no, i dont.

For a guy who likes to act wise and thoughtful you present yourself as pretty fucking dim, to the point where it feels like you might have a mental disorder. Meditate on that.

He is partly right. I was alluding to something mentioned here about how Metacritic aggregate scores but they give certain places more weight (some no weight at all) instead of fairly rating games.

*edit* I just saw his second reply.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/189448/Metacritics_weighting_system_revealed.php

Adding a weighting to each publication is the only fair way to do, different sites use different methods to score their games so weighting evens up the scores to make them relevant when converted to the 100 scale that Metacritic uses.

It seems strange that they would allow him to move on a free when he's under contract and they signed him as a prospect. I would not be surprised if it turned out to be just a loan. Still, Sky seem convinced that it's a transfer...

I also think it's pathetic that he's finding it hard to settle. He's got an opportunity few footballers will ever be afforded, training at one of the finest academies in the world and soon to be under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola. The fact he wants to trade that in for Oakwell, which is s dump, is mind boggling.

Exactly.
I dont do that anymore cause i find it too repetative and that is not what i want to waste my time with.
Id rather read a proper book outside.
Im still here available to offer advice/service for questions to this game though cause I used to play it quite some time before but that was then when I had too much time and no other obligations that are more important in my life now.

Do you dream about having sex with yourself?

Well, there's nothing wrong with Metacritic itself, it's basically just a website which has lots of review links on it.

The problem is when publishers use metacritic to hold a gun development companies. Some publishers will say if this game doesn't make this score then we're taking away funding or not giving out bonuses or whatever. It ends up encouraging developers to take less risks and that kind of thing. Metacritic hasn't done anything wrong, it's just provides and easy way for publishers to be dicks.

That isn't what KM is alluding to, he's trying to argue that the concept of aggregation is flawed. The only thing I can think he might be using to support this idea was a report that came out saying different websites have different multipliers on them so different scores have a different weight. But that makes sense for the most part, for example if a site uses a 1-100 scale it gives a true representation of the score on metacritic, but if the site uses a five star system, like on Giant Bomb, they can only give 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, meaning their four stars is not as well represented on the metacritic scale.

With that said, it might not be what KM is talking about.

As unexciting as Steve Morison's presence is at Leeds is, he's definitely a superior footballer when compared to Matt Smith. I'd just like someone moderately electric at the club. Someone not from the British Isles because as far as I can see there's no one around these parts that gets my balls wet. Even Beckford, if he came back, would probably end up being shit.
