Quoted from TigerLaw:Yes, while I do not put too much value in the cumulative list, I put tremindous value in the lists of about ten guys here on Pinside who have tastes similar to me.
This is exactly right. Here's how I found my list of members:
1. Look up a game I love.
2. Find someone who mentions the reasons I love it.
3. Read a few more of their reviews of games I love and see if it's a consistent thing.
4. (Optional) Read a few of their reviews of games I don't love and see if it's a consistent thing.
You also get exposed to a TON of members who don't post very often. Unsurprisingly, a lot of them have far more interesting things to say then the names we all know so well.
