Title: Introducing the Bil-O-Meter game rating system!
Post by: Zagnorch on October 25, 2013, 11:18:18 PM
Greetings from Terra, esteemed RF Gentlemen.

Tonight marks the culmination of a pet project of mine: the Bil-O-Meter game rating system!

Displayed below are the nine ratings graphics with corresponding descriptions.


[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/deadbil_zps111cb59f.jpg[/img] This game was so awful, it killed me in every way possible: my body, my soul, my hopes and dreams, and my ability to laugh and love, forever more.

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/MadBil_zps96feb814.jpg[/img] G*DD*MN MOTHERF*CKING SONUVAB*TCH I CAN'T BELIEVE I WASTED PERFECTLY GOOD MONEY ON THIS STEAMING PILE OF RANCID PIGSH*T IF I EVER MEET THE D**CHEBAG C*CKSOCKETS WHO SH*T OUT THIS VOMITOUS ABOMINATION I SWEAR I'M GONNA F*CKING KILL THEM TO DEATH AND THEN KILL THEM AGAIN JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE THOSE B*ST*RDS

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BilWat_zpsa9b4b1a0.jpg[/img] Oh, dude, WTF? Seriously? Come on, really? I mean, I just-- I-- really, now?

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BilDisptd_zps70c91f0a.jpg[/img] I am highly disappointed  by this one. It had so much potential, but couldn't hope to live up to expectations. Better luck next time.

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/nEUTbIL_zpsefc5ea02.jpeg[/img] Meh. This one's okay I guess.  No great shakes overall.

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/WorryBil_zpsbfbe980b.jpg[/img] I kinda liked this one, but I don't wanna admit it. 'Cuz if I do, all my buddies will call me a swishy little queermo for the rest of my natural life. That's peer pressure for you. Maybe I should get new friends?

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BilHappy_zpsebe88522.jpg[/img] I'm likin' this one. Definitely worth putting some time into it.

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BilEcstatic_zpsbab8626a.jpg[/img] Aw yeah, now THAT'S more like it! Pure awesomeness!

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BilCAME_zpsdcf8284e.jpg[/img] OH MY FREAKING GOD THIS IS TEH GREATEST GAME EVAR!!!111!ONE11ONE!!! BETTER THAN A COMPLETE BOXED 32X GAME COLLECTION I'M NOT KIDDING OHHHHYEEEAAAHHHH UUUUUURGH BRB I GOTTA CHANGE MY PANTS


So, ummm... whattaya think?

I think these should be submitted to Metacritic for immediate implementation into their system.

I like how Bil's normal face is "meh."

Totally using this from now on.  Hehe, the Bil Metric.

It's funny you bring that up.....

I was working on my own rating icons

I like how Bil's normal face is "meh."

I tried to create the perfect neutral expression, but I eventually realized his natural expression was already perfect.

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/MadBil_zps96feb814.jpg[/img] HEY! Come up with your own ideas, you hack!

BTW I tried to come up with a Nupe-O-Meter rating system for my TI calculator finds. But there's only one rating that ever gets used...

We can implement these in our rating system for reviews... ;)

Hey guys, I just developed a new rating:

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/StuBill_zpse1d5b745.jpg[/img] This game is so freakin' stupid, I lost ten IQ points just watching the load screen.

Well, that makes it an even ten, now.

This rating system is getting used for EVERYTHING in my life from now on.

Just an FYI: The Bil-O-Meter isn't necessarily a "worst-to-best" rating system, so much as it reflects one's reaction to the game being rated.

Oh, and I went back to the drawing board on the Nupe-O-Meter, and came up with this:

I can't be silent anymore.  This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.  I give the Bil-O Meter rating system a rating of

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BilEcstatic_zpsbab8626a.jpg[/img]

(one rating below a nearly complete CIB 32X set)

I was wondering when you were finally gonna chime in. I knew your vanity would eventually overcome your resistance to respond, but I must give you credit for holding out this long. I even had two RF Gentlemen PM me that they were worried about you because you hadn't yet responded. Bet you didn't know you had such a loving, caring fanbase, did ya?

It came up while we were recording the next collectorcast last night.  I couldn't hold out any longer.  I just showed my wife.  She had no idea my face was so iconic.

Oh, so your CollectorCast partners in crime forced your hand, eh? Okay, I'll buy that excuse... but only 'cuz I like ya.

Damn, I just can't stop tweaking this thing! I've added two more ratings to the scale:

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BillDrunk_zps68f8f7c6.jpg[/img] This one's pretty awesome to play while drunk or stoned. While sober... not so much.

[img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/BilKawaii_zps2de16a03.jpg[/img] This is kawaii desu super happy fun game!
