I know what you're thinking; the new design for these news boxes is terrible. I'm going to do something about that soon, so be patient.

I've changed the method I use to rate games. If you're a regular at that 1up.com web site, you might be thinking that I ripped them off. Naturally, I care very little for what you think, but I can provide an explanation. For a couple years now, I've been thinking of changing the rating system, and this particular concept was one of the ideas I had. I was going to implement it before, but wasn't sure about other details regarding the layout. I was lazy, also. You'd be correct in assuming that I finally went on with it after having seen 1up.com do it, apparently they also had the same idea lingering in their collective minds for a time before finally doing it. Anyway, it doesn't really matter who came up with this "idea;" it's not a revolutionary concept. I'm sure there were many before me (and 1up.com) who did it first. So what? I'll do it anyway, because I want to.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be released tomorrow in the United States of America. If you're not an idiot, you'll be buying this game.

Things look a little strange, don't they? Fear not, for I am merely tinkering around with the design again. I'll stop once I settle on something that I like.
